I'm trying to make a package for pysvn [http://pysvn.tigris.org] and I have a few questions. Right now it's not compiling, rpmbuild is complaining about "error: line 27: Package does not exist: %description debuginfo", this must have changed either in F7 or F8 because this spec worked a long time ago (F6/F7, not sure which).

Also, I discovered that the installer makes a differently named .so depending on the version of python that it is compiling against, and I'd like to know the best way to do an if style statement that will solve that (I'd like to be able to use the same spec on CentOS too).

So, any help and comments would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Below is the spec file.
