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
