You can use
Release: 4%{disttag}
and invoke rpmbuild with (of the top of my head)
rpmbuild -bs --define 'disttag %{nil}' ...
rpmbuild -bb --define 'disttag .rh9' ...
You will nevertheless have a reference to rh9.src.rpm in your binary
build and AFAIK you are stuck with the src.rpm release with --rebuild.
Long shot: You could possibly manipulate RPM field contents after
building the rpms and before signing them, e.g. you could "correct"
release values post-building. I am thinking about that as it would
save me quite a lot of space for some distros sharing the same src.rpm
up to the release.
Jeff and other die hard rpm experts, is there an (easy) way to change
the RPM release field in an unsigned rpm? If it's only a python
two-liner, would you please post it? :)
Thanks!
