The only purpose of disttags IMHO is to differentiate builds of the very same package for different OSs/releases. Fedora Core packages never use this; if there's a rebuild for the next release of Fedora Core, the build number is incremented. If there's an errata-like patch build for an update for an earlier release, it can get a .1 suffix to the released build number, for the first such build, and have this suffix incremented for subsequent builds. So, when are they useful for packages in the Core? -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org}
