Hey,

I noticed that this suddenly stopped working:

ngompa@opensuse-tumbleweed-x86_64:~> rpm -E ".suse.tw%(. /etc/os-release; echo $VERSION_ID)" .suse.tw

Why doesn't the date part work anymore? It used to work a few months ago...

It never worked (in any Bourne-compatible shell). $VERSION_ID is expanded by shell before rpm can see it.

So that was the trick! It should be something like this?

$ rpm -E '%(sh -c "./etc/os-release; echo \$VERSION_ID")' 20190423

That's not a trick, it's basic quoting science.

rpm --eval '.suse.tw%(. /etc/os-release; echo $VERSION_ID)' .suse.tw20190425

See, to me, this is a "trick", because "quoting science" is a crazy art to me... -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
