[Rpm-maint] Single rpm that uses %post to deal with target system version differences - good idea or bad?

[devzero2000]

JMHO, i think that if it was possibile to have a single rpm package that
install without pain
in multiple rpm distro, well, it would be a great thing. But the same rpm
code is forked, the FHS  is observed in different - but right formally -
vein, the pkg name are not standard, so I think your approch  is  right
actually : it reflect the actual forked and different between distro
pkg policy.

Best Regards
