LinuxQuestions.org - packages version

How can I see installed packages versions and

Code:

]$ rpm -q --qf="%{name}-%{version}-%{release}\n" somePackage

somePackage-4.5.3-28.1



]$ rpm -q --qf="%{version}\n" somePackage

somePackage-4.5.3-28.1

4.5.3

include the values in coditions inside build scripts
If you mean .spec files:

Code:

Requires: /bin/bash /usr/bin/perl anotherPackage

# or:

Requires: somePackage >= 4.5.6, anotherPackage >= 0.1

# or:

Requires: somePackage

Requires: anotherPackage

Best read the "Max RPM" online doc and your distro's requirements before building packages if you're going to distribute them or have people download them.
