%dist should be at the end.
[ Can you please keep me in "To" list. I don't want to scan mailing list
to figure out if somebody responded to my mail or not ]
Why %dist should be at the end? html page I referenced previously mentions
that one can use x.%{dist}.y kind of release number in select cases.
So rather kexec-tools-2.0.4-23.X.fc21 where X means x-th revision of
fc21 package after distribution release.
I think this will work too. As 23 got frozen in time and master and later
releases will always be higher. And that would not break upgradability.
Thanks
