Description Tim Waugh 2004-02-24 11:47:46 UTC
Description of problem:
'chown rpm.rpm' should be replaced with 'chown rpm:rpm'.  Obvious bad
consequences if there is an rpm.rpm user name, and anyway the '.'
syntax will go away eventually.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.3-0.13

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2004-02-25 09:35:03 UTC
Is this change from rpm.rpm to rpm:rpm really necessary?

It will create endless problems with spec files.

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2004-02-25 09:38:11 UTC
POSIX disallows it.  The xxx.yyy syntax will go away eventually.

Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2005-10-26 00:46:09 UTC
Fixed in rpm-4.4.3-0.24 when built.
