Indeed, for example I'm using the attached shell script for adding a specific
release tag when building binary packages for different rpm-based
distributions.
The script is able to "detect" the following distros along with their
versions: Red Hat/Fedora, Mandrake, Yellow Dog, UnitedLinux, SuSE.
But there will be a downside for this aproach: the spec files will be a little
"bloated".
