    Not that I am aware of.
    I hit this issue earlier this year and found not solution.

    RPM seems to have a built in assumption that every OS and every OS version has a complete set of dedicated packages.

    Sorry but at least you are not missing a trick, right!
    Cheers Nigel

    One can use BuildArch directive set as "noarch" in the spec file to build a noarch rpm which can be installed in any OS/Arch.
    "BuildArch: noarch"
