Invalid package name?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is it legal to have two packages with the same common name but a
different revision:
  foo-1.1	/opt/foo11
  foo-1.2	/opt/foo12
  foo-1.3	/opt/foo13

Or, if I want multiple versions of the package installed, must the
name be:
  foo11-1.1	/opt/foo11
  foo12-1.2	/opt/foo12
  foo13-1.3	/opt/foo13

I know that if I rpm -U, installing foo-1.2 will replace foo-1.1. If I
rpm -U foo11 and foo12, then both the foo11 and foo12 packages will be
in the RPM database.

This is against RPM 4.0.x.
