Why do you think of "-n"?  Will the resulting package have different
names on RH and SUSE?

Anyway, it's simple when you use the %if / %endif constructions.
Note that it's a matter of taste if you really want this.  In my
personal opinion, maintaining one spec file for multiple distros
often (with more complex packages) results in unnecessary complex
spec files.

Simplified example:


%if %(test -f /etc/redhat-release && echo 1 || echo 0)
%define target redhat
%endif

%if %(test -f ... && echo 1 || echo 0)
%define target suse
%endif

...

%install

%if %[target} == %{redhat}
cp %{SOURCE1} %{buildroot}/etc/rc.d/init.d/foo.init
%endif

%if %[target} == %{suse}
cp %{SOURCE2} %{buildroot}/etc/init.d/foo.init
%endif

...

%files

%if %[target} == %{redhat}
/etc/rc.d/init.d/foo.init
%endif
%if %[target} == %{suse}
/etc/init.d/foo.init
%endif


Note that this example is not complete and/or robust, of course.
