So, how do you do it without the %dist branch? AFAIK then you have to manually make sure that the EVR in F(N) is greater than that in F(N-1). Say I've built foo-1-1 in rawhide a year ago and thus the package is available now in F-10 and F-11. How do I update to foo-2-1 in both distros? > In other cases, for example, %dist suggests that a spec/src.rpm would be > dist-independent and could simply be copied to multiple branches.
