Good Afternoon,

I have a couple of questions about how portable code built on various EL's is 
between OS's/versions.

If I build an RPM on SL6.1 from an arbitrary SRPM that has not been 
specifically targeted for EL6, has no distribution-specific, version-specific 
or renamed dependancies, how portable can I expect it to be?  

Would I just be able to drop it onto a CentOS6.2 or TUV6.0 system, for example, 
and have it just work.

Assuming the answer is no:
  * What steps/build settings/macros are needed to make it cross-version 
portable (SL 6.1, 6.0, 6.n)?
  * What steps/build settings/macros are needed to make it cross-distribution 
compatible (SL, CentOS, TUV, etc.)?

Thanks,

Adam Bishop
