What to do with release number on new EL-5 branch
Hi, I've just had an EL-5 branch created for my disktype[1] package. The new branch is a copy of the devel branch, so the NVR is currently disktype-9-5. Should I build the package as-is (so the first EPEL version is 9-5), or clear the changelog and start from 9-1 again for the EL-5 branch? I looked on a few pages[2][3][4] for information on this, but couldn't see anything.

IMO, keeping it the same across branches makes it much easier as a package maintainer.

Er, I am not saying "don't use dist", just that starting at 5%{?dist} instead
of 1%{?dist} is completely fine.

Thanks for the advice; I'll leave it as 9-5%{?dist}.
(Sorry for any confusion - I wasn't going to remove %{?dist}.)
