Isn't this because "Version" is the name of a tag? Just like Name and
Release. And Tag names are not case-sensitive, so you could write this
in your spec file:
VERSION: 12.34
Reusing those for your own macros seems like a very bad idea and bound
to lead to confusion. Does %version refer to the VERSION tag? Or does
%VERSION refer to that?
%{VERSION} contains %{version}-%{prever}. AFAIK macro
%{version}
contains value for Version: tag, so I defined other macro %{VERSION}.
And I thought macros are case sensitive. I worked fine this way before.
