08-Dec-2007 09:11 GMT: Testing for target repository in the Build Service

I've updated gconf2-rpm-macros in GNOME:Community in preparation for adding a new target repository, openSUSE_10.2+GNOME_STABLE. The update tests the %suse_version macro and %_repository to determine whether the package needs to be populated. If it doesn't, a dummy package is generated which makes life easier for maintainers of packages which have it in their BuildRequires lines.

This is how it's done: The contents of both %install and %files are wrapped in the following:

%if %suse_version < 1030
%if "%_repository" != "openSUSE_10.2+GNOME_STABLE"
Section content goes here
%endif
%endif

Obviously, if we a 10.2 and GNOME:UNSTABLE repository, an extra layer of %if can be added.
