Is it permitted to have a non-numeric Version field? The guidelines are at best unclear on this topic: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Versioning#Version_Tag The lz4 package has version "r131": http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/lz4.git/tree/lz4.spec#n5 Corollary question: If I'm given an NVR string, how can I split it into name, version and release? I was using the regexp ^(.*?)-(\d.*)-([^-]+)$ but that breaks on the lz4 package.
