Thanks for starting such a page, I think it can be very useful, I just hope people don’t start to write spec translators and ditch all our policies or differences in implementation (like filetriggers for instance) I don’t have much ideas to complement your work, but for me the most striking example of our difference is %mkrel, because every spec out there use it, but I’m not sure about their equivalent in other rpm-based distributions. It would be great if some kind of standardization could emerge from this and help reducing the gap between our specs.
