I see that there is a "DISTTAG" in RPM headers, but it's not set to anything in any of my installed packages. What if we actually set this in the build system, and removed it from the Release field in all of our specfiles (with one big recursive sed script)? The filename generation could be changed to automatically add this, and query and sort operations also adjusted appropriately. It's always been pretty hacky to overload one of the metadata fields with unrelated metadata. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
