IMHO, this is totally evil. There needs to be a distinction somewhere in
the rpm package info. If you are really bound to a particular version of
RH, you should do the following:
Package: modules-oscar-rh80
Provides: modules-oscar
Requires: redhat-release =3D 8.0
This requires some scripting to generate many spec files, but it isn't all
that much work at the end of the day.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
