Okay, so that's part of it.  At least some OSes define this in /etc/rpm.

My current concern is trying to port an RPM which references %rhel and  
%fedora to CentOS 5.  The only RHEL boxes I've got at the moment to  
compare against are RHEL4, which apparently doesn't define %rhel.

Yeah, I know what the syntax means.. I was just using that as an  
example of the define I was hoping to find for other distributions.

Thanks
