Use a repotag for EPEL4 and EPEL5 like this: add a "%define repotag foo" in the buildsys, where foo expands to ".epel4" in EPEL4 and ".epel5" on EPEL5; the repotag macro doesn't get defined in Fedora builders and thus nothing will change when building a package for Fedora, even if it has a %{?repotag} in %{release}.
Just a tiny detail, picking a random EPEL package: denyhosts-2.6-4.el5.noarch.rpm then it would/could become: denyhosts-2.6-4.el5.epel5.noarch.rpm
which I think is redundant, repotag should expand to "epel" only for all versions, so we would have: denyhosts-2.6-4.el5.epel.noarch.rpm
el5.epel still seems a bit redundant. Why not just forget the repotag and set the dist tag to epel5?
