I'm trying to extract a %global after it has been evaluated as it would end up during build time. rpmspec -P almost works, but the output is stripped of all the %global macros, so the macro is not able to be grepped. My understanding is that I can't use eval as that does not evalute macros that are done only at build time, which I assume is true for my spec below. I'm interested in getting the value of release_version, but I guess the process would be the same for any of them.
%global project_name heat Source99: sources %global release_version %(cat %{SOURCE99} | awk %'{sub(/%{project_name}-/, ""); sub(/.tar.gz/, ""); print $2}') ...
It would be great if there were a solution available in python, but I've not found anything in the TransactionSet API of value. Surely this must be possible as "fedpkg mockbuild" works as expected.
