[elrepo] wl-kmod error at installing

[Diego Farias]

I guess I've found something odd... when we do (1):

   $ echo -e "%_topdir $(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild\n%dist .el$(lsb_release -s
-r|cut -d"." -f1).local" >> ~/.rpmmacros

it means that in file .rpmmacros, these two lines should be there (..in my
case..):

%_topdir /home/dafh/rpmbuild
%dist .el7.local

but the echo '-e' option 'doesn't work fine' (and I'm curious if that
command line (1) should work as it is because in my case I paste the echo
$HOME or lsb_release -r|cut .d"." -f1 for getting that work out) and in
.rpmmacros I get:

-e %_topdir /home/dafh/rpmbuild
%dist .el7.local

What is the meaning of doing (1)? What is right here? I'm not going to
continue until I verify this!

Thanks
