Spot brought the 3jpp.fc6.1 format to the packaging group which was

3jpp.fc6.1 doesn't work for interleaving with jpackage if jpp is
removed. So we'll probably have to have another (hopefully short)
discussion about using 3jpp.1.fc6 & 3.1.fc6.
Why the %{_dist} is necessary here? Can't we just add the number?
I thought we would need the %{_dist} only if we needed to have the same
RPM built in two different distro releases and they were release
specific (depend on some shared library or something).
Unfortunately it may be necessary for you folks, if we ever have to bump the
package in an older release, without becoming NVR higher than the same
package in a newer release. If 3jpp is used in both FC6 and F7, and we have
to rebuild in FC6 for whatever localized reason, we have to be able to do it
in a way that doesn't promote it to be NVR higher than the 3jpp in F7.
But isn't the norm that we do this only if such case ever happen?
Anyway, I believe the only case we would respin the FC6 one would be if
there was a (security?) bug, so we will probably have to respin the FC7
one as well, so it will end up being FC6 +1 anyway. At least this is
what has been happening so far.
Shouldn't we leave the %{_dist} out and add it only if absolutely
necessary for a specific package?
