If you are planning only minor updates in F-16, you can probably use the
description on "Minor release bummps for old branches" [1]. The result
would than be something like:

glusterfs-3.2.4-1.x86_64.fc16.rpm - base version with sysv-init
glusterfs-3.2.4-2.x86_64.fc17.rpm - updated version with systemd-unit

Bugfixes for F-16 can be done as patches/backports and the new nvr would
be glusterfs-3.2.4-1.x86_64.fc16.1. For F-17/Rawhide it would just be in
the new upstream version, or updated release as in
glusterfs-3.2.4-3.x86_64.fc17.


Personally I would favour this, but it will involve maintaining a
seperate branch for the sysv-init version of the package. The main
advantage is that the F-17/Rawhide spec will be kept simple, and there
is no need to remove the %if statements once there is no sysv-init
version available anymore. It will be impractical if you are planning
big(ger) updates that would need a real version bump.

Cheers,
Niels
