[Fedora-packaging] Problem with tags for a package that does not use the %dist tag

Hi,
I've submitted the Linux Device Driver book as a package:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=507915
I decided to not use the %{dist} tag in the release number versioning based on
the reasoning in the ticket. This package was approved and I check the package
into cvs.
When I did the initial check-in into the devel/ branch all the files got tagged
as ldd_pdf-3.0-2 (notice the absence of %{dist}). Now I can build the package in
the devel branch. However, I now have a problem, how do I build the package for
F-10 and F-11 ?
- Do I need to create a different tag 'manually' for each of these branches ?
(since "make tag" tries to create the same tag as that of the devel branch)
- If I do the above, would make build work ?
what is the procedure followed by other packages which do not use the %dist tag ?
regards,
-steve
