I'm trying to tweak a package so that it autodetects when it's being

Is there a simple and foolproof test for this?
How about something like this:
%define redhat %(/bin/grep "^Red Hat " /etc/redhat-release &>
/dev/null && echo 1 || echo 0)
%define fedora %(/bin/grep "^Fedora " /etc/redhat-release &> /dev/null
&& echo 1 || echo 0)
...
%if %{redhat}
echo Building on RedHat
%else
echo Not building on RedHat
%endif
%if %{fedora}
echo Building on Fedora
%else
echo Not building on Fedora
%endif
%if %{redhat} || %{fedora}
echo Building on RedHat or Fedora
%else
echo Not building on RedHat or Fedora
%endif
Paul.
Sorry, I wasn't very clear.
The test needs to be in the Makefile, not in the RPM spec file.
What I decided on was:
REDHAT := $(shell test -f /etc/redhat-release && echo yes)
...
ifeq ($(REDHAT),yes)
...
endif
as the solution.
Thanks.
