You are right, the distro is considered unknown (so clones are not 100% clones) and gets the default setting (which is not f18, just the default, which on the other hand is always the latest convention, so effectively the latest Fedora release). You can do two things: a) fast and lazy: pass dist to the build like so: rpmbuild ... --define 'dist el6' ... (actually this is the way ATrpms does it - especialy since the minimal chroots don't even contain /etc/redhat-release to have something to recognize the dist with) b) extend the %distinitials macro to include more RHEL clones. We would need a strings to grep for in some /etc/*release|issue file as well as the versioning of the matching package (e.g. rpm -qf /etc/redhat-release) -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net _______________________________________________ atrpms-devel mailing list atrpms-devel@atrpms.net http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-devel
