I'm not opposed to adding what matthias is doing to to the disttag macro
defines (for Fedora and EPEL) Seems to have value for conditionals.
I'll work on a PackagingDraft for it.
I've worked up a PackagingDraft for these macros:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/ExtraDistTagConditionalMacros
We'll discuss and vote on the Draft next week during our regular
meeting.
This is also a reminder that anyone who thinks that there are missing
items or items which need amending in the Fedora Packaging Guidelines
can submit a draft for review by the Fedora Packaging Committee. The
process on how it all works is documented here:
