Hi,

Redhat added a buildsys-macros rpm for EL5 that at least has the file
/etc/rpm/macros.dist that defines the dist when building rpms (like
%dist .el5). See http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2011-0985.html

I see the SRPM in the 5rolling directory for SL but I can't find a
package that has actually been built. Can this package be added? Or
tell me if I'm missing something...

It will be included in the next "fastbugs" that are pushed out.

Note that %dist is defined in this rpm as

  %dist .el5

which is commonly not what TUV uses for security errata.

An example of this is

   xulrunner-1.9.2.22-1.el5_7.i386.rpm

In the above case "%dist .el5_7" was needed.

Thanks
