Normally, we'd give the packager the choice of using %{?dist} or bumping the release, but since we're trying to ensure hierarchy, %{?dist} is the only real option. Just appending %{?dist} to the end of the subrelease scheme solves that issue, I'll update the document. ~spot -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
