</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Should we have a %mdkversion (and %mdkver/%mdvver) that is hardcoded to
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 201100 for the time being, or should we not have one at all?
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Not having it will cause any src.rpms that have any
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &quot;%if %mdkversion &lt; x&quot; to fail to build.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; I'm strongly in favor of having it for compatibility reasons, so that
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; most MDV src.rpms keep building on Mageia for the time being, including
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; those provided by any 3rd party packagers.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Not having the macro will cause us to lose that compatibility for very
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; little benefit, IMO. It could maybe be removed after several releases,
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; but not before.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; However, it seems blino disagreed with this, and he thinks we should not
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; have these macros at all.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; What do other people think?
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> If not having those macros means we can't compile mdv SRPMS on mageia, then

i would prefer to have some kind of %{_vendor}%{_vendor_release} type of 
thing, we could easily have mandriva and mageia use the same tags for this.

after all, there will be a time where we will need similar compatibility. and 
it's be easier for later to possibly have similar .spec files with other 
vendors: PLF?  OpenSuse, Fedora, ...
