Description papoteur 2021-09-15 07:45:04 CEST

Description of problem:
When building a package with bm, different steps are displayed.
One of these is (at beginning):
processing package vosk-model-small-ru-0.15-%mkrel 2

You can note that %mkrel 2 is not expanded
This is minor, but this can conduct to think that something is wrong in the spec file using this macro.

I presume the problem is in rpmbuild, not bm.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-build-4.16.1.3-1.1.mga8

AFAIC This is not a bug in rpm-build but in bm.

/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/BuildManager/package.py just manually parses the spec file in _package_spec()
It should explicitly try to expand macros…

Assigning according to http://sophie.zarb.org/rpms/b2cc908a66112494642edb8becb5079b/changelog

It's not a packaging job.
I take it.
