This has been mentioned several times in this thread and I think there's a misunderstanding around this. So: When your tool/whatever works with modules it will have to have module metadata available in some form. In most client-side tools, I'd guess that will be modulemd metadata in dnf repositories that will get synced locally (just like rpm/yum repodata). Or it really might be you'll query koji for the metadata if needed on a system without local dnf metadata. But if you're working on top of module repositories - metadata will be there. RPMs *in* modules still use "N-V-R.A" strings and you can keep parsing them. That is not changing. But the module that contains them uses different strategy that allows maintainers more flexibility. And there does not have to be exact match between module/stream etc name and NVRs of rpms inside as others have mentioned. -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotnicky@xxxxxxxxxx> Software Engineer, PnT DevOps - Brno PGP: F434 2286 27DC 7D9B 2B64 0866 BCBD 752E 7B08 7241 Red Hat Inc. http://www.redhat.com _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
