Description Aurelian R 2024-04-02 21:52:27 CEST 
"jq" cannot print its version. 
To reproduce: install jq and run "jq -V" and that will print "jq-" only.
This issue seems to arise from the "autoreconf" command from spec file that looses/resets version info.

It's been reported here https://github.com/jqlang/jq/issues/2880 but it looks like they expect people to use their archived configure file and not use autoreconf.
 
To fix this annoyance, in the jq.spec file at %build stage and before autoreconf command add this hack:

sed -i -e "s/test -d.*/echo %{version} \&\& exit/" scripts/version

Regards.
