hmm... I think in this case it's a little different because I'm the developer
so I've included the spec file in the tarball (and it lives with my source
code, under SVN)

but I do see your issue.  I'm also navigating mod_gnutls (for which I'm not the
developer) through this process so my spec file isn't revisioned as it just
sits in ~rpm/SPECS

I read through your link above but it does not talk about how to keep your spec
(and possibly, patch files) in cvs... do you have a reference for that?

ok, I've decided to roll back the changes to the Makefile.  the better solution
is to create a patch file specific for F10.  so now the only thing is I don't
know how to apply a patch file conditionally i.e. for F10 only.  can you help
with that?
