The package name is already known. Many tools that present a GUI to the user will format the summary next to the package name. In which case it looks silly. Summary: a very fast and reliable SQL database server I realize that at least one vendor package does list the name in the summary for MySQL. That does not make it any less of a mistake. At least one vendor does a better job of it and says: Summary: A true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database server Bob _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
