Ralf,
Just to close the loop on this: I decided to leave %{OS} as "redhat9" for
now, because I make binary packages available for download to my users that
were built with openpkg-20031020. Since I don't want to rebuild these
packages at this time, but do want the users to be able to install them on
their machines using openpkg-20040324, it is best for me to use "redhat9" as
the OS name. When I fully migrate to release 2 this summer (and rebuild
everything), I'll change back to rhl9 at that time.
Thanks,
Dennis
