Extracting kernel-modules, beta/cvs and other non-trivial examples the versioning scheme I suggest to use (note not only for myself, and not only for RH/FC) is: <name>-<upstream_version>-<buildnumber>_<disttag>_<optional repo id> Where o _ is a seperator, that could be "_", "." or under certain circumstances even "" o disttag is a combination of a distid and a distversion, e.g. rh9, rhel3, fdr1, lsb1.3, mdk8, suse9 should be rpm-sortable within a family, e.g. rhl/fdr should be sortable, rhel also, but possible rhl/fdr and rhel should not compare, etc. o repoid is an identity marker like "at", "fr", "dag", "fdr" They are at the least significant position to not have rpm sort on them. repoid is optional and should not be used by vendors or first tier packaging repos like FC. disttag > > You trimmed (and maybe didn't read) the following from my previous > > reply: "That's why I changed the Subject on the main thread to contain > > "Fedora Legacy".
