Hello,
I don't know the rules to add substitutes to the OBS. This one is pretty stupid, but I found a case where is useful. I am making mkvtoolnix "backports" creating a simple "link" from the Factory package. With openSUSE 10.3 there is no problem, but with 10.2 and 10.1 libmatroska-devel package doesn't exists... but all the dev files are available in the libmatroska package. In this case I can't put the libmatroska-devel BuildRequires inside an %if since I can't edit (so much) the spec file from a linked package.
Sure you can. a) Make a patch b) Copy the spec file to your linked package and modify it.
