None built in Joe. Rembember this though; you can take the extrnal
external output of a command run on the build system as the definition
of a macro (similar to backticks but uses the %() syntax). So you
could do something like:
%define distro %(getDistroCmd)
Name: package_name
Version: 1.0
Release: %{distro}-1
The reason this might be usefull is then your external command (which
can be one of your sources) can express much more complicated logic to
figure out what distro its on without being tied to the abilities of
rpm macro's.
