Just the release and changelog.
I included version because of jcline's proposal to use git tags to discern the version and release. Though I bet you could have some conflicts due to version too (though less common). For example, say you have these versions: F29: libfoo-1.2.1-1 F30: libfoo-1.3.0-1 Then upstream does a 1.3.1 with an OMG security fix, and for whatever reason you don't choose to backport the fix but instead just update F29 to 1.3.1 (you read the changelog, nothing is backwards incompatible, and backporting the fix is non-trivial, for example). This could lead to a conflict, but not hard to resolve of course.
