Ah, then I misunderstood you.

Well... I think this would be really an exception case. We have no per-release
package rpm subdirectories, and that would be overkill anyway.

What I'm thinking of are simple tables:

# if these compat_distro strings appear, the distro should work
@compat_supported = qw( fc-4-i386 rhel-4-x86_64 ...); # 

# print warning message on these (real distro name used, including release!)
@real_warning     = qw( redhat-el-ws-3-4-x86_64 ...); 

So if fc-4-x86_64 is not in the @compat_supported table, die.
But for the real distro-name redhat-el-ws-3-4-x86_64 print a warning message
stating that there are known issues with it. RTFM or so.

Would that match your requirements?

Regards,
Erich
