Periods in compat package names

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



>From the "Guidelines for Naming Fedora Packages" the example in the "Multiple packages with the same base name" section (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Naming?rd=Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Multiple_packages_with_the_same_base_name) seems to contradict the "Separators" section (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Naming?rd=Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Separators)

The example describes naming a package as python-sqlalchemy0.5 to show how to make a compatibility package, but the separators section says:
> The maintainer MUST NOT use an underscore '_', a plus '+', or a period '.' as a delimiter.

Is the period inside the appended version number not considered a delimiter for these purposes?
