There is definitely a gain with a disttag, one can argue > how big it is, but what are the drawbacks? Exactly. At least to me both as a maintainer and as user the pros by way outweigh the cons. So far, the only "con" I came across is lack of clear conventions on %release in those (rare) occasions a package's EVR has to walk "sideways" (X.fcN -> X.fcN.1, X.fcN.2). > Bottom points: > o full rebuilds should become a must Well, I can only reiterate what I said before: IMO, "full rebuilds" are a hoax blending yourself unless they are performed in "sorted order" and a PITA to maintainers unless they are performed automatically. > o disttags are helpful either way Right.
