I personally like that. so how about conaming "RHL X" to
"Fedora Core
0.X" resulting to tags like foo-1.2.3-4_fdr0.7.3 (non-numeric upstream
versions, kernel modules and other special cases aside)?
I think the "fdr" part should be removed all together. Packages are kept in
different directory trees for the relative distro. If some poor user pulls a
rpm from a FedoraCore/ directory and expects it to work on Mandrake, thats
his problem, not ours.
I've always disliked the text tags (rhl9, fdr, fr2, etc..) and I feel that
they are indicitive of 3'rd party rpms. Fedora.us and Fedora Legacy are less
3'rd party and thus shouldn't suffer the headache of text tags.
