Hi

1. Does anyone have any suggestions for package naming?  Some packages will be ok,
    but others not.  For instance, we have a watchdog package.  If I call it "dog" there is
    a high chance ther may be some other package named "dog" installed on a system that
    this one would also go on, and there could be a conflict.  It could be a completely different
    independent watch dog program.  I know Java packages have the company name and all
    that in reverse, like com.mcdonalds.hamburger.utils or whatever (that name is just an
    example).

    Should packages be named similarly, like com-mcdonalds-hamburger-utils-1.0.0.rpm in case
    there are other packages named util?

2. I have been giving my packages group names (like in the examples Applications/Databases).
    You can do an rpm query like    rpm -q -g Applications/Databases  to find rpms with that group.
    Now say you have a company called "foo" and you give your groups names such as
    foo/bar, foo/pub, foo/tavern.  You want to find all the groups with foo.  rpm -q -g foo/* does not work.
    Nor does rpm -q -g foo.  Is there any way to do this?
    (other than    rpm -qa --queryformat '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}\t%{GROUP}\n'  |  grep -i foo
