For example, this package is named xorg-x11-drv-openchrome in Fedora/RHEL, x11-driver-video-openchrome in Mandriva/Mageia, xorg-x11-driver-video-openchrome in OpenSUSE, etc... The same is true for all the build dependencies packages' name. So an 'universal' spec file would need a lot of macros to mask all the differences. Beside that, while I feel comfortable with the Fedora/RHEL spec, I have no real knowledge of the other rpm based distros' specifics. If other rpm distros maintainers are around, I'd be glad to read your inputs.
