Minor comment:
%(c=%{commit}; echo ${c:0:7})
is a bit nicer because it doesn't require 'cut', it just uses 'echo',
which is a shell builtin.
Or in rpm >= 4.19 (just landed in rawhide), you can just do
%{sub %{commit} 1 8}
Both of these suggestions are really nice small improvements. Thanks!
Since this use case is in the Version field, and therefore the expansion
is needed in the source RPMs, I will have to wait to use the RPM macro
until my machine and the Koji builders are on rpm >=4.19. It’s still
good to know about.
The shell-parameter-expansion suggestion takes a zero-based index and
length[1], while the Lua routine exposed in the RPM macro takes the
first and last one-based indices of the substring[2], so the exact
equivalent would be:
%{sub %{commit} 1 7}
