We can address this by adding minimum version numbers to the rpm Requires line.
David has alluded to this.

Yes, but what does 'rpm -q --provides libdb-compat' say.

Require: gsl

All of the SuSE specific stuff can be wrapped with

%if %{_vendor} = 'suse'

%else

%endif

but it gets hairy and annoying fairly easily. The spec "language" is rather
simple minded.

Another possible solution is to maintain separate rpm files for each major
distribution, but that requires maintainers...
