I dumped out the environment from the dependency generator and the
only RPM-specific environment variable is $RPM_BUILD_ROOT. I could
get the version from that, but it would be a bit of a hack.
Name, epoch, version and release are available as macros in the .attr
file so you can pass what you need from there, eg to pass version and
release as arguments to the provides generator, you can do:
%__my_provides /path/to/my/depgen %{version} %{release}
This seems to be missing in the docs, will fix.
