I just have a question about updating a package in CVS. From the

edit the spec file and it shows to type: make tag build. However this

know I must be missing something simple here..
# make tag
cvs tag -c dosemu-1_4_0-4_1905svn
cvs tag: dosemu.spec is locally modified
cvs [tag aborted]: correct the above errors first!
make: *** [tag] Error 1
I just noticed that you didn't use the %{?dist} tag:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Using_the_.25.7B...
You should use it otherwise you won't guarantee a clean upgrade path
from different Fedora releases (e.g. from F-10 to F-11).
A side error of not using the %{?dist} tag will be the impossibility
to use "make tag" because different branches cannot have the same tag.
