I'll give it a try but maintaining a single specfile for the major RPM based
distros will be extremely hard to achieve.

For instance, for the Fedora Project we are already maintaining several sets of
syslog-ng specfiles/configuration files in order to maintain the specfile readable.

Up-to-date sets of specfiles/configuration files:

 1) one set for Fedora >= 15 with systemd support, and
 2) a second set for EPEL6 with sysV initscripts

These two sets are already:

  1) using slightly different configure options,
     (with different build requirements) and
  2) different configuration files (e.g. systemd service
     file vs init script)

These differences already make it harder to maintain a single specfile
(at least a readable one) for Fedora/EPEL systems. Taking in account
other RPM based distros like OpenSUSE will only make it worst.

The configuration files are easier to handle: we just need to add them
to a packaging/ subdirectory.

/jpo


PS - As Matthias pointed it out, the git repository of syslog-ng specfiles
and configuration files is locate here:

    http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=syslog-ng.git

It contains branches for all Fedora/EPEL relaeses.
