Hi Errol,

Our build system uses environment variables to inject the PLATFORM_NAME 
and PLATFORM_VERSION into the RPM. (See the Makefile snippet below). 
Before you do rpmbuild, you should do:
export PLATFORM_NAME=XCP
export PLATFORM_VERSION=1.6.10

You may also want to export a BUILD_NUMBER, but I don't think that this 
is used for anything so you can probably ignore it.

The interesting bit from Xapi's Makefile:

.PHONY: version
version:
        @printf "(* This file is autogenerated.  Grep for 
e17512ce-ba7c-11df-887b-0026b9799147 (random uuid) to see where it comes 
from. ;o) *) \n \
        let git_id = \"$(shell git show-ref --head | grep -E ' HEAD$$' 
| cut -f 1 -d ' ')\" \n \
        let hostname = \"$(shell hostname)\" \n \
        let date = \"$(shell date -u +%Y-%m-%d)\" \n \
        let product_version = Util_inventory.lookup ~default:\"\" 
\"PRODUCT_VERSION\" \n \
        let product_version_text = Util_inventory.lookup ~default:\"\" 
\"PRODUCT_VERSION_TEXT\" \n \
        let product_version_text_short = Util_inventory.lookup 
~default:\"\" \"PRODUCT_VERSION_TEXT_SHORT\" \n \
        let platform_name = \"$(PLATFORM_NAME)\" \n \
        let platform_version = \"$(PLATFORM_VERSION)\" \n \
        let product_brand = Util_inventory.lookup ~default:\"\" 
\"PRODUCT_BRAND\" \n \
        let build_number = Util_inventory.lookup 
~default:\"$(BUILD_NUMBER)\" \"BUILD_NUMBER\" \n \
        let xapi_version_major = $(shell cut -d. -f1 VERSION) \n \
        let xapi_version_minor = $(shell cut -d. -f2 VERSION) \n" \
