I usually refer to /usr/lib/build/configs directory (in build package) for example configs. The configs available here have most of the syntax I need.

More generally what is the legal syntax for stuff that goes in the prjconf file? And where is it documented? Is there any way to find out other than folklore and analyzing the source code?

In order to work around Bug 471298 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471298

I put the following in my prjconf file: %if "%_repository" == "Debian_Etch" || "%_repository" == "Debian_4.0" || "%_repository" == "Debian_5.0" || "%_repository" == "xUbuntu_6.06" || "%_repository" == "xUbuntu_8.04" || "%_repository" == "xUbuntu_8.10" || "%_repository" == "xUbuntu_9.04" || "%_repository" == "xUbuntu_9.10" || "%_repository" == "xUbuntu_10.4" || "%_repository" == "xUbuntu_10.10" Required: build-essential %endif

Basicly I am trying to test for a debian style package. The drawback is I have to modify it every time there is a new debian or ubuntu distro.

%if 0%{?ubuntu_version} and %if 0%{?debian_version}

did not work they act as if they are always false.

Is there a test that will work in a prjconf file that will only be true if I am building a debian style package?
