ATrpms is sharing the same specfile accross distributions. In order
to still keep a valid upgrade path the release tga has to be
variable. As all packages are built in minimal chroots the
distribution cannot be geussed from the inside, so needs to be given
on the command line like

rpmbuild --rebuild --define '%atrlease() %1.rhfc3.ndb' ...

(assuming you want to add "ndb" as a repo tag to idetify your
self-built packages).
