How would you distinct
> foo-1.0-1.fc3.zork.i386.rpm
> foo-1.0-1.fc3.dag.i386.rpm
I wouldn't. They wouldn't be in the same repository. And if they're in
different repositories then they'll have different checksums/pkgids.
if both zork and dag were ommitted ? You don't think it's
useful, I think
it helps.
nope. Just means a user thinks something is from somewhere by looking at
the filename, not looking at the content or the signature.
If you use different repositories and there's no coordination,
there's no
proper way to compare the release tags anyway. The discussion about either
the disttag or the vendortag are useless.
not really. It's a start to figuring out how to revert 'release' back to
a useful field.

"It reduces available namespace for items usable in the release tag" ??
Can't compute, please elaborate.
It limits the possible items that can be put in the release field.
You pollute the namespace by adding non-release-numbering data there.
ie: .dag., .fr., .fdr.
it's just extra cruft that makes it harder to discern what is
real/useful.
