Hi,

I've submitted my first Fedora package for review and sponsoring recently:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673175

I want to submit it for Fedora and EPEL 5. The differences between the two are
minimal, there are just some programs missing in EPEL which need to be
commented out in the default config.


This page 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DistTag
and the buildsys macros RPM on EPEL5 should help you.

yes is perfectly possible to have one .spec file for all at the start though
they may diverge due to difference update policies in particular.

What is the best way to handle this? Can I keep one spec for both and use
conditionals to always build the right way?

I've seen code like "%if 0%{?rhel}" somewhere on the net, but that didn't work
for me. I guess the %rhel-macro should be defined in /etc/rpm/macros.dist
where I usually find stuff like %fedora but that doesn't exist on my Centos 5.

Or am I supposed to create a completely separate .spec for EPEL once the
review, sponsoring etc. for Fedora is done?

Kind regards,

Gerd
