with rpm macros. But for a single distro (rhel vs suse vs mandriva vs ...) and different release of this, it is a possibility: not good in general but it's life...............
Macros if abused are for itself a source of incompatibility: use it carefully. I know it is not so simple but a little discipline and more QA in rpm packaging it is often necessary
if not desiderable always, AFAICT.

My current development platform is CentOS 5.1.
On this list, and on the net, I've seen this construct
%if 0%{?fedora} > 4 || 0%{?rhel} > 4
# do stuff
%endif
or this:
%if 0%{rhel_version}%{centos_version} == 0
# do stuff
%endif
but none of these sorts of macros seem to be defined by the rpmbuild
universe.
'rpm --showrc' doesn't seem to provide any clues about distribution or
platform.
Any advice out there? Pointers welcome...
You likely need to install the redhat-rpm-config package, that's usually wherevendor peculier macros are supplied by RHEL.73 de Jeff
