Yea that was coming next after/if this went through. I alluded to that by saying that tools would have a much clearer path towards what exactly a distribution name could have but yea assuming this gets accepted/goes through my next step was to open tickets in the respective tools trackers to ensure that this problem is solved there too. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
