You do rsplit() by the '-'. Right part is R.A. you remove arch and get release.
What exactly you want to do? RPM and DNF have proper --queryformat.

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.
