#52 rpkg not setting version from git tag
Closed by frostyx. Opened by ipilcher.

Reopen Issue

I cannot get rpkg to set the RPM version from a git tag.

I have created the tag.

$ rpkg tag --version 0.0.0 --skip-edit
Created tag libsht-0.0.0-1
$ git tag
libsht-0.0.0-1

But it's still not being recognized.

$ rpkg nvr
libsht-0.0.git.48.1dc6f8d9.dirty.3frpxp-1.fc42

I have tried setting the version in the SPEC template to all of the following, with exactly the same result.

  • {{{ git_cwd_version }}}
  • {{{ git_cwd_version lead= }}}
  • {{{ git_cwd_version lead=0 }}}
  • {{{ git_dir_version }}}
  • {{{ git_dir_version lead= }}}
  • {{{ git_dir_version lead=0 }}}

I am using rpkg-3.3-2.fc42.noarch.

Here is the complete SPEC template, which lives at rpm/libsht.spec.rpkg in my repository. (It's still a work in progress; I'll need to figure out how to set the shared object file name and soname once I get the version figured out.)
