OK, I misunderstood you because DistTag and %{?dist} are actually
distinct things in RPM and you're using the wrong one here :)
It's called that in the Packaging Guidelines:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/DistTag/
It should probably be named differently now that there's an _actual_ DistTag.
That's an interesting thought and we should consider what to do
about
it. Mind opening a ticket on
https://pagure.io/modularity so we don't
forget?
Done:
