Description Neal Gompa 2015-10-14 11:43:18 CEST 
This enhancement bug filing is to provide a patch to mageia-release that generates a /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.dist file that provides the following macros:

* %{dist}, defined as .mga6
* %{mageia}, defined as 6
* %{mga6}, defined as 1

These are "generic" comparisons that are globally useful for version checks or whatnot.

Reproducible:

Comment 2 Neal Gompa 2015-10-14 11:46:53 CEST 
Note that the macros are dynamically generated at build time to match the Mageia version targeted. It just so happens that Cauldron is representing Mageia 6 at the moment. :)
