The DistTag guidelines (found here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/DistTag) have had some changes committed. There are some additional macros for DistTag that make it much easier to conditionalize inside of spec files. Two helper macros were added: %{fc#} and %{el#} (where # is the value of %{fedora} or %{rhel}, respectively). This means that if %{fedora} is set to 7, the following macro is set: %define fc7 1 This permits easier conditionalization in spec files. For example, with these defines, you can do: %{?el5: a} %{?el4: b} %{?fc7: Requires: foo} %{?fc6: Requires: bar} Without these macros, you have to resort to: %if "%rhel" == "5" a %endif %if "%rhel" == "4" b %endif %if "%rhel" == "3" c %endif %if "%rhel" == "2" d %endif Keep in mind the words of wise old Uncle Ben: With great power comes great responsibility. Use these conditional helper macros sparingly. Also, all references to "Fedora Core" or "Fedora Extras" were replaced by ninjas to "Fedora". ~spot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
