I'm not sure if this was the best things to do but on the mythtv package on RPM Fusion I added an additional requirement for %triggerrun that the fedora release >= 16 by enclosing the whole scriptlet in a %if 0{?fedora}...%endif, which seemed to make sense as we're not supposed to change/convert within a release. I had to do this because the same EVR is used for all supported Fedora releases. Is there something wrong with this approach?
