Now I realize that some people, mostly those without their Fedora boxes connected to Internet, occassionaly have to download packages on Windows machines in thier schools, etc. What's the status of ':' support in windows? Is it possible to use those characters on NTFS? The file name if a package is not important, unless you let rpm satisfy dependencies, does it? What happens when you attempt to download a file with a colon in name in Windows -- does it replace it with some other character? If only a dash for chosen as an epoch separator instead of a colon... -- Lubomir Kundrak (Red Hat Security Response Team) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
