Hi all, i have a problem, I am using rpm to create rpm packages for
linux. Now, I have a problem, when it is redhat distribution, the rpm
must work on one way, but when it is suse it must work other way. I can
not find the way to accomplish this. rpm ifos or ifarch options just
make difference between architectures and operating systems, but for
all linux distributions they use "Linux" as identifier, so it is not
possible to make a difference between linux redhat and linux suse for
example. Can anyone help me? thanx.

How do you propose building an RPM for Debian, Slackware or other distros
that are not inherently RPM-based?

'man alien' perhaps?
