Description Rex Dieter 2008-07-21 15:26:49 UTC 
Constructs of the form
%if "%{?macro}" == "foo"
are no longer accepted, and yield 
foo.spec:12: parseExpressionBoolean returns -1
errors now
Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2008-07-21 15:28:14 UTC 
For example,
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=722265

We worked-around it by simply avoiding using constructs of that form (I think we
converted easy to a numeric compare instead).
Comment 2 Panu Matilainen 2008-07-22 11:43:27 UTC 
Easily reproduced, the regression seems to originate from commit
90eec724a834c26131be11145a62084efe3bafb8.

Florian, please have a look... (I'm on vacation and computer time is somewhat
limited ;)

Comment 4 Florian Festi 2008-07-25 10:33:53 UTC 
One problem was an parsing error from empty double quoted strings ("") that
happen when %{?macro} in not defined. This is fixed upstream.
Comment 5 Panu Matilainen 2008-08-04 06:50:31 UTC 
In rawhide now.
