Action requested: check dist tags and conditionals

(If you've never used a construct like "%if 0%{?fedora}" in your spec
file, you can disregard this message.)
Many packages in Fedora use release-based conditionals such as:
...
%if 0%{?rhel}
%endif
%if 0%{?fedora} < 10
%endif
%{?fedora:%global _with_xfce --with-xfce}
...
I'd just like to remind people of the following:
- If you're using open ended conditionals such as:
%if 0%{?fedora} > 9
make sure you keep in mind what will happen if %{fedora} isn't defined,
such as in the case of a derivative distribution.
- If you're building for EPEL from a unified Fedora spec file, and have
separate %{fedora} and %{rhel} sections, make sure they do the right
things for any potential new releases, not just %{rhel} = 4 or %{rhel} = 5.
Thanks!
Bill
