Neither does LSB... it means "distribution that implements that specific LSB version". That becomes the selector instead of distro_vendor/version. However, the effect is pretty similar, since LSB 3 is likley to be implemented by newer systems such as RHEL4, SLES9, etc. which RH 7.3 won't. Anyway, there's no reason not to continue down the track you're going down, I just wanted to pipe up and point out that wasn't the same approach LSB was taking. cheers, -- mats _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
