[EPEL-devel] Requirements for SRPM names

[Avram Lubkin]

I'm looking for some clarification on the naming requirements for SRPMs.

In the EPEL 7 in Python 3 Plan Draft [1], it specifies that SRPM names
can't conflict with RHEL SRPM names, but in the Limited Arch Packages
[2]section of EPEL: Packaging, it seems to imply the SRPM name would be the
same, but the release number would be pretended with "0.".

Could someone please clarify?

If, in fact, the name can be the same, it will make it much easier to
provide Python 3 packages for EPEL since a separate package would not be
required in the Fedora Package DB.
