Hi folks,

This is just a reminder to please do not include the %{?dist} suffix in 
the version field within a package %changelog like in this example 
package.  It is misleading when the package is built in the future on 
newer distributions.  The release number(s) prior to the dist tag should 
be sufficient within your %changelog.

Thank you,
