I very much wish there was, but alas, no. Pretty much everything to do with rpm metadata is effectively implementation-defined, and the implementations are all different, especially with respect to distribution build tooling : / > > I'm trying to figure out > https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/issues/2487 and I think we > currently have weird data in updates.

RHEL has a similar issue on occasion, even though the build tooling is completely different (not Bodhi). The issued datetimestamp is often 1-2 seconds after the updated date. The specific reason is likely entirely different, though. In practice I have found that having any kind of expectations about updateinfo metadata making coherent sense beyond "it technically meets the expected schema" leads to a lot of pain. Fedora, SUSE, RHEL, Alma and Rocky all mess it up in different ways, 3rd party vendors that attempt to provide it do even worse, etc. > I don't think that field is meant to be modified and I suppose it can > lead yum/dnf to screw up.
