And unfortunately, it can be confusing as all get-out for building
SRPM's for multiple releases. Subversion, for example, has different
dependencies in "el5" than in "el6", or in "f14" or later, and working
out the logic for selecting the right options for your OS is a bit of
an adventure when unpredictable and non-major-release "%dist" settings
are used.
Thankfully, when you're building with mock or you're building natively
on nearly anything that isn't el < 6, you can use other macros that are
designed to solve precisely this problem.
%if 0%{?el5}
# SL 5-specific dependency info
%endif
%if 0%{?rhel} >= 6 || 0%{?fedora}
# Bits that apply to both SL 6+ and Fedora
%endif
%if 0%{?suse_version} >= 1140
# Info for openSUSE 11.4+
%endif
%if 0%{?mdkversion} || 0%{?mgaversion}
# (and so forth)
%endif
