It seems suse uses "_" as a separator, and will mention the version once if it is the same across the 2 rpms. For example<br><a href="ftp://ftp.cs.pu.edu.tw/pub2/SuSE/suse/update/10.1/rpm/i586/kernel-xenpae-2.6.16.13_2.6.16.21-4_0.21.i586.delta.rpm">
kernel-xenpae-2.6.16.13_2.6.16.21-4_0.21.i586.delta.rpm</a><br>That would be name-verOld_verNew-relOld_relNew.arch.delta.rpm<br>and <a href="ftp://ftp.cs.pu.edu.tw/pub2/SuSE/suse/update/10.1/rpm/i586/libextractor-0.5.10-12_12.2.i586.delta.rpm">
libextractor-0.5.10-12_12.2.i586.delta.rpm</a> shows using a single version number<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/3/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Ahmed Kamal</b> <<a href="mailto:email.ahmedkamal@googlemail.com">

</a><br><br>Tried to guess their naming convention, it seems something like "newVer_oldVer-release", not sure why there is a single release, and it's not even consistent. I'm trying to lookup some info on their naming convention.
