Possibly you have considered this before.

 

For the above example why not to define version in the spec file as

 

Version: 12.34{?prever:-%{prever}}

 

 

If the %{prever} is defined is adds -%{prever} to the version else it does nothing.

That's great, I'll change it that way. Thank you, José.
