Thanks for the answers. However, if I write something like:

if [ "%_vendor" = "suse" ] ; then
       _build_name_fmt="suse_name"
else if [ "%_vendor" = "redhat" ] ; then
       _build_name_fmt="redhat_name"
else
       echo "This version is not supported"
fi
fi


it doesn't set _build_name_fmt to the requested value. If I print it, it 
shows the following:
_build_name_fmt = 
%{ARCH}/%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}-%{DISTRIBUTION}-%{ARCH}.rpm

I saw somewhere that I can set it in .rpmmacros. Is it the only way? Can 
I put a condition like that in the .rpmmacros file?

Thanks,
