So is it toally evil to put things like "rh80" in the RPM name, even
though it's not in the RPM package name? For example:
packages/switcher/RPMS/modules-oscar-rh80-3.1.6-3.i586.rpm
But when you install it, you'll find that RPM thinks its name is
"modules-oscar", not "modules-oscar-rh80" (i.e., I simply renamed the RPM
after it was built).
shell# rpm -i modules-oscar-rh80-3.1.6-3.i586.rpm
shell# rpm -qa | grep modules-
modules-oscar-3.1.6-3
That's the only easy way that I can see to getting around this filter
restriction; otherwise, I'll have to have a different .spec file for each
distro, which is unattractive.
