I think most of the hard and fast rules about this are going to fail, as we are talking about human language. For instance: % yum search fedora-release =========================== Matched: fedora-release ============================ fedora-release.noarch : Fedora release files fedora-release-notes.noarch : Release Notes for Fedora 9.0.0 ...now technically both of these fail the "repeat package name in summary" rule, I'm not sure either of them needs to be "fixed" though. -- James Antill <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
