Comment 0 for bug 1144777

percona-server.spec contains code that CentOS 5 rpmbuild(1) considers a parse error (output below). As a result it's not possible to build PS RPM's in CentOS 5. Relevant code:

Provides: mysql-server
#
%if %{rhel}
BuildRequires: pam-devel
%endif
#
BuildRequires: %{distro_buildreq}

This was introduced in revno 431. BuildRequires need to be consolidated.
