Hello! I was curious if there is any standard (ad hoc, or otherwise) for package naming, and the spec file version/release information which includes provisions for (1) tagging the provenance of an rpm to a particular packager/repo, and (2) still allows for rpm-based installers to understand the proper package relationships. Specifically, my understanding of existing packging conventions (in part derived from practice, and in part derived from the SuSE Package Conventions document) a package consists of: <packagename>-<version>-<release>.<arch>.rpm where, <version> ::= <major version>.<minor version>{.<other stuff>} <release> ::= <release number>[.<release version>] and, it seems by convention, <major version> <minor version> <release number> <release version> are numbers. __________________________________ Yahoo!
