OK, I misunderstood. I had the mistaken idea from one of your messages
that SuSE was using the same specs file as Fedora, verbatim.
Personally, I'd rather move all the distro packaging out of OVS, because
distro packagers are good at packaging and OVS developers generally
aren't. So, unless it would actually make your job easier, let's keep
things as is.
Thanks,
Ben.
