I don't like this. When I see "8.1.fc3.fr" ou "0.lvn.2.3", I think : - what is it ? "fr" for french ? "lvn" ? Is there something magic ? Does this try to mislead the depsolver ? And why ? I don't need this. It's confusing. It's a pollution :-) My packages are in : dag/i386 dag/SRPMS freshrpms/... livna/... No confusion. If I want to know where the package come from I use "rpm -q -i" or "rpm -q --queryformat "%{VENDOR}\n"" or "yum info <package name>". Release should be the release. Why not to add if it's a stable or unstable package ? Base, update, testing or rawhide package ? And the "OS" field, the "LICENSE" field. They are useful informations. Perhaps harmless and useful for some people, but confusing the end user (like me). > > > They don't confuse and there's no good alternative and I want/need this > > > functionality. Use "rpm -q --queryformat". Perhaps yum could implement something useful like "--queryformat". > Pollution is harmful, this is harmless. Pollution can be harmless for someone and harmful for other.
