Is there a reason why we can't change YUM to match the DNF behavior? IMO, the YUM behavior is nonsense and isn't even a valid package identifier.
Actually E:N-V-R.A is yum-ism no one else understand while N-E:V-R.A is correct rpm format.
So if you want make world a better place stick with current dnf format.
I think this, with the combination of earlier suggestion, is the best solution for Fedora. So: 1) make yum calculate checksum primarly with DNF format 2) when there's a discrepancy, let yum calculate csum in legacy yum format
This way: - dnf is not bothered - users of yum have continuous history - new yum users have checksum calculated in better way
Win-win!
