I also noted the bug in my first reply in this thread. ;)

We have been very busy trying to get F18 out the door, and wanting to
push changes to fedpkg hasn't been high priority. :( 

I did talk with Dennis about this yesterday, and he's going to push the
patch out very soon. 

It's worth noting that you could change your specs to use a simpler
construct and they should work now. I agree making all them change now
is not good, but you might consider changing them as they are updated?

from: 
%if %{?fedora}%{!?fedora:0} >= 17 || %{?rhel}%{!?rhel:0} >= 7
to:
%if 0%{?fedora} >= 17 || 0%{?rhel} >= 7

It's shorter, it makes more sense to me and it works. :) 

Anyhow, we will try and get a fedpkg update out soon, and I am very
sorry for the delay.
