I don't see how this handles multiple Fedora releases.
This works great if you only consider jpackage as one release, and Current
Fedora as one release. However we DO have to consider:
jpackage--
|
- Fedora Current
|
- Fedora (Current - 1)
|
- Fedora (Current - 2)
Obviously one can't use the same NVR on all three Fedora lines, so something
has to be used to differentiate them, and allow for rebuilding something on
Current - 1 that isn't built on Fedora Current. (could be something as silly
as a buildsystem bug that didn't produce all the packages. Have to bump the
nvr to build again)
Perhaps this never happens because we always have some updates and we
always do a mass rebuild with release bumping for any new Fedora release.
Ans as any fix for a Fedora -N is accompanied by it being applied to the
subsequent Fedoras -(N -1) until current, that has never happened so far.
Anyway, if you guys want the %{_dist} at the end we will add them, I am
just not really sure that this situation will ever happen.
