Honestly since - is overused already, its not going to hurt legibility anymore by reusing it again. If we were going to enforce legibility we would have a specific character designated as a field separator and forbid it to be used in any tag field. Doesn't the extended ascii character set include a smiley face up in the table near the end? We could use that.. or maybe we could use the ascii 1/2 character as the field seperator -jef"name(ascii:204)epoch(ascii:199)version(ascii:197)release(ascii:182)arch(ascii:236)"spaleta -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
