Unknown non-numeric characters in release. Not a bug. The ".1" in "0.1" here is the portion of %release that is more significant than the parts following it. painstakingly, one would bump it with every change of the package, no matter whether the ".b" changes, too. > - Pre-release build's release should start with '0.'. Too late to correct it (for many of the findings). And often they are not even an error, because with post-release (!) scm snapshots, upstream *and* packagers typically don't increase %version -- particulary not if the next official %version is not known yet. So, once the next final upstream release is made, %version will increase. And only then one can reset %release to 0 or 1. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
