Yes, I know what `RPMTAG_BUILDTIME` is and for what it has been made.

@wladmis What is the value of considering the build-time? That would introduce
a nearly uncontrollable value that could trigger upgrades/replacements when it
is undesired.
At least in Fedora, openSUSE, and OpenMandriva, the package manager has the
option to "sync" the installed package set
Frankly, I dread the idea of introducing new elements to version comparison as
history has shown that it takes *years* to catch and fix all the corner cases.
But I wont comment on partial work, if there's been further work on this,
please update the PR.

@wladmis So I've seen that this is more fleshed out in ALT Linux's rpm, do you
plan on finishing up this PR for consideration?
JFYI for everyone else, it looks like ALT has implemented `E:V-R:D` comparison
in their rpm 4.13.x tree, where the D is the DistTag. It looks like my

FWIW, the D
Colon is a perfectly natural tuple separator widely used: see $PATH for an
obvious example.
This is a parsing, not an aesthetic, issue whatever your opinion might be.
Dependency tuples need to be easily parsed into a {E,V,R,D,...} tuple as simply
and speedily as possible.

No one
There are 2 parsing problems triggered by adding disttag:
1) how to represent distag in dependencies (omv used a ':' separator)
2) how to represent distag in package file names (omv used a '-' separator)
There is also the question of precedence in version comparison, whether disttag
should be

Related to #589.
I'm not sure, but if it is OK, there can be a new feature to handle `DistTag`
(named `rpmlib(HandleDistTag)`, for example) that is required if there is
non-empty `DistTag` while package is building.
Something like:
+++ build/pack.c (in proper place):
/* if DistTag is
21 matches
