I really don't like it. To be blunt, the arguments for keeping it seem to be "Because we waaaaaaaant it." It really doesn't serve a useful purpose. Release should be for tagging the build number of a package, with the exception of the dist tag, which identifies the distribution that a package is built for. "jpp" is irrelevant in both contexts, as these are Fedora packages, in a Fedora repository. ~spot -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
