So put RPMs you get from Dag in a subdirectory (maybe even called
"dag"). Or, if he used "dag" as his Vendor field:
rpm -q --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm %{vendor}\n' -p *.rpm | grep " dag$"
You could even put:
rpm alias --vendor --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm %{vendor}\n'
in your ~/.popt and just do:
rpm -q --vendor -p *.rpm | grep " dag$"

Trying to put every bit of information someone may want about an RPM
into the filename seems a bit silly.
