Let put this really simply. We are not doing this just as the -rc4 is about to build. If we want to start considering a change like this we might as well abort the release, start again and slip four weeks. Why? That dash syntax works fine in opkg and is in use in real world opkg feeds. This appears to be an rpm only issue. It also only appears to be directly affecting hob right at this point. When we filtered MACHINE people complained a lot. When we filtered MACHINE_ARCH there were more complaints. If you just put the filtering straight onto PACKAGE_ARCH as well, there will be immense trouble as it will badly break Angstrom for a start :(. I'd ask people think about what they're proposing and put it into perspective. I believe Dongxiao has a patch which would allow us to work around the issue in hob for this release and then we can re-assess this issue in 1.3. I suspect the fix is going to be to drop the name mangling in the core and move it to be specific to rpm.
