Spec file extensions quick reference.

------------------------------------

Solaris specific tags:

    SUNW_BaseDir prefix

        Define prefix as the value of the BASEDIR tag in the SVr4 package.

        prefix will be stripped off the beginning of all path names in the

        %files section, therefore it has to be a real prefix, otherwise it

	will abort with an error.

    SUNW_ProdName name

        SUNW_PRODNAME tag in the Solaris pkg.

    SUNW_ProdVers version

        SUNW_PRODVERS tag in the Solaris pkg.

    SUNW_Category cat

        CATEGORY tag in the Solaris pkg.

    SUNW_HotLine text

        HOTLINE tag in the pkginfo file of the SVr4 package. 

    SUNW_MaxInst num

        num is the value of the MAXINST tag (maximum number of

        instances of the pkg allowed to be installed on a system) in

        the pkginfo file of the SVr4 package. 

    SUNW_Copyright file

        Define file as the name of the file that contains the copyright

	information for the package. [not implemented yet]

Special macros:

%include <file>

	 process the contents of %topdir/SPECS/<file> as if they were

	 copied into this file

%use <name> = <spec-file>

	 Declare that parts of %topdir/SPECS/<spec-file> will be referenced

	 later in this spec file and call it <name>.

	 Any macros %define'd before the %use line will also affect

	 <spec-file> (as if they were copied to the beginning of that file).

	 E.g. %use gtk = gtk2.spec

%<name>.<def>	   or

%{<name>.<def>}

	 Reference to a %define'd macro in the spec file called <name>,

	 as defined by a preceding %use. Gets replaced by the value

	 of the referenced macro.

	 E.g. %{gtk._datadir}

%<name>.<tag>	   or

%{<name>.<tag>}

	 Reference to the value of a <tag> in the spec file called <name>.

	 Gets replaced by the value of <tag>.

	 E.g. %{gtk.version}

%<name>.<scriptlet> [-d <directory>]	   or

%{<name>.<scriptlet>} [-d <directory>]

	 Execute <scriptlet> from the spec file named <name>. If -d <directory>

	 is used, cd into <directory> before executing the <scriptlet>.

	 E.g. %gtk.prep

%<name>.<package>.<tag>	    or

%{<name.<package>.<tag>}

	 Reference to the value of a <tag> in a <package> (subpackage)

	 in the <name>'d spec file.

	 E.g. %{gtk.gtk-devel.summary}

	 Note that is not properly tested yet, use with caution and

	 let me know if it's broken.
