That doesn't say a period is invalid in a package name, because it's explicitly listed as valid at the top of the document. The section you quote indicates why we have "foo-devel" and "perl-Foo-Bar" instead of "foo.devel" and "perl.Foo.Bar". - J< -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
