Hi Zing,
The easiest way to fix the above is to add "%{?dist}" to the end of your
Release tag as in:
Release: 1%{?dist}
which will then get added to the tag name when you do a "make tag" and
will result in a different tag name for each branch such as:
mmv-1_01b-3_fc4
mmv-1_01b-3_fc5
...etc...
There are *plenty* of examples in the other packages so please take a
look.
