I have the case where the master (rawhide) has the following verison and

upstream source.

It it correct to just merge the master into origin/f21 and then push as
      http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintenance_guide
might be suggesting ?

Perhaps I should change the release to
      Release: 1%{?dist}
and the log  from
      * Sun Feb 01 2015 Brad Bell <bradbell at seanet dot com> - 20150000.4-2
to
      * Sun Feb 01 2015 Brad Bell <bradbell at seanet dot com> - 20150000.4-1
Why would you want to do that? The %dist macro is not there without
reason. It ensures that the build for an older branch is _lower_ than
the build for newer branches. If you need to touch/update only an
old branch, notice:

   https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Minor_release_bumps_for_old_branches

Else, the Dist Tag guidelines are these:

1. If I used a higher dist (same version) number in f20, then it should also work in f21 ?

2. Where does el6 fit in the order relative to f20 ?
