I would not put it in the .spec file for two reasons :

  1) It goes against the best practices of loading the .spec file with
scripts.
  2) It puts distribution specifics in the .spec file which means that
the .spec file needs to be very distribution specific.

I think that you're working on outdated .spec files ! Here is the naming
convention as I noted it from the minutes of the core meeting :

oe-sd-content-dist-ver      version/targetdist/release
___________________________________________________________________________=
________
linuxcoe-sd-base            -   4.0.rhel4-1    (only installs on rhel)
linuxcoe-sd-base            -   4.0.sles10-1   (only installs on sles)
linuxcoe-sd-data-rhel-all   -   4.0-1          (add rhel functionality to a=
ny dist)
linuxcoe-sd-data-sles-10    -   4.0-1          (add sles functionality to a=
ny dist)
linuxcoe-sd-data-fc  -4     -   4.0-1          (add sles functionality to a=
ny dist)

Any 'systemdesigner-{something}' .spec file should no longer be used and
should actually be removed from the CVS tree, but I'm not sure if I can
to that.

Not sure if it is required, since distribution specific identification
is already provided in the main package name.
