Issue
I am trying to "instal" different version of a library side by side. When installing different version of the package. So by the .spec file for the package, I wish to create a directory in /usr/lib/secret/ and in /usr/include/secret, this directory should have the name of the library (let us say random) and the version name (let us say 0_1) so the directory name should be: random_0_1. How can I do that with mkdir or another command ?
Solution
You can access the name and version (specified by Name: and Version:, respectively, in the spec file) using %{name} and %{version}:
mkdir /usr/lib/secret/%{name}_%{version}
mkdir /usr/include/secret/%{name}_%{version}
