Hi, It seems that recently built packages have a distribution tag now different than the "Red Hat Linux" one that has always been used in Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core up to now. Why not, but I see two problems : - It contains the Fedora Core version, which means that packages won't be easily kept between versions (noarch packages that don't need updating for instance) without causing confusion. Are all packages now expected to be rebuilt from one FC version to another? - There are multiple different new strings used! Bad and most confusing... Red Hat FC-3 Red Hat (FC-3) Red Hat (RHEL-3) (yes, FC Dev. yptools .src.rpm has this set!) And glibc and rpmdb-fedora have none set. I think at least reaching an agreement on a single string would be a good start here, and maybe hearing reasons for the change since the last semi-official opinions I really getting on that matter were that distribution, vendor and packager tags weren't concerns, thus just stayed as they were.
