Sam Varshavchik: > Nope. Every package you get from Fedora's repos will have this. Including > stuff like Apache, Postgres, etc… That does seem a bit of a misuse of the field. Clearly Apache is not a Fedora project, for instance. RPM.org's only site says this about an example it provides: "The Vendor tag is used to define the name of the organization producing the package. The data in this example is "White Socks Software, Inc.". Therefore, RPM will store White Socks Software, Inc. as the vendor of the package." <http://ftp.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-tags.html> It really ought to identify the producer of a project, not the compiler of the source code. There's other fields for that (packager). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
