The original post mentions ".fc8" packages, so likely it's F8.

But even if it works in rawhide, it's stuff to be very careful with in
the world of "one spec file for multiple %dist versions". Several RPM
versions would upgrade a package "foo123", which provides
"foo = 1.2.3", with a package "foo" that has a higher EVR. That was
fixed just last year, afair.
