+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; Hi all!
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; Should we have a %mdkversion (and %mdkver/%mdvver) that is hardcoded to
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; 201100 for the time being, or should we not have one at all?
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; Not having it will cause any src.rpms that have any
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &quot;%if %mdkversion &lt; x&quot; to fail to build.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; I'm strongly in favor of having it for compatibility reasons, so that
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; most MDV src.rpms keep building on Mageia for the time being, including
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; those provided by any 3rd party packagers.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; Not having the macro will cause us to lose that compatibility for very
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; little benefit, IMO. It could maybe be removed after several releases,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; but not before.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; I believe you're right at the moment, now that we're importing things,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; but after the very first time, starts becoming nonsense since
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; i believe we're going to work on our packages distro per distro not
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; taking every time srpms from mandriva as we're doing now.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Well, it may be a na&#239;ve hope, but I thought I could maintain the same spec
+</I>&gt;<i> file for Mandriva and Mageia for my packages. It's not just a matter of
+</I>&gt;<i> importing SRPMS from Mandriva to Mageia.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; However, it seems blino disagreed with this, and he thinks we should
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; not have these macros at all.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; the good should be to have some common macros the allows us to build
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; packages form one distro to other. I ported in my rhel 4 and 5 mkrel to
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; get most compatibility to mandriva specs. But now fedora (hope rhel 6 as
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; well) uses %dist so why not to use a common point to that macro and
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; extend compatibility?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> OK with that.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Samuel

+i'm ok with that as well
