I have to write a specfile which need to build on many redhat/centos
distributions with differents versions. The software that I have to
build needs special action on sources regarding the distribution. What
is the best way to do this these days ? Is there a builtin function in
RPM to autodetect the distro name and version ? (el3, el4, el5?) ?
About rpmforge packages, i don't really understand how does it works:
they use %{dist} but it's defined in a macro? and about naming
packages : can i dynamically name a package regarding to the
distribution it's been built ?
Sam Varshavchik has written an almost-Ok "release" routine that will
distinguish between Mandriva (with a little modification), SuSE, Red Hat
and Fedora (with a little modification) releases in his Courier authlib,
IMAP and maildrop specs. It should be able to get Centos too, if the
spec writer adapts it a bit. Grab a tarball at
http://www.courier-mta.org/download.php#imap and extract and adapt the
spec to your own needs - it's GPL stuff.
Best,
