Hi all,

I'm trying to make my kernel-xen package for EL6 also be buildable on 
EL5. One of the things that EL5 doesn't have is dracut - hence the 
--dracut option in new-kernel-pkg doesn't exist.

I figured I could do some basic logic here in the %post and check the 
rhel version and run the appropriate command. The code:

if [ -x /sbin/new-kernel-pkg ]
then
%if 0%{?rhel} == 5
         /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --depmod 
--install %{KRELEASE} || exit $?
%endif
%if 0%{?rhel} == 6
         /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --dracut 
--depmod --install %{KRELEASE} || exit $?
%endif
fi

When I install the package however, I get:
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.89138: line 13: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.89138: line 13: `fi'
error: %post(kernel-xen-3.5.4-4.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 2

It just so happens that line 13 of %post is: %if 0%{?rhel} == 5

Does anyone have any insight on this? My google-foo has been failing 
badly on this :(

While I apologise that this isn't specifically related to SL, it is 
about creation of packages for SL6 and (eventually) SL5.
