Get a package from Extras 2. rpm -q --qf "%{vendor}\n" packagename Additional info:
I'm pretty sure the no vendor tag is intentional. cc'ing spot on this one
Do we care that Vendor: is unset? Individual packages certainly should not be setting Vendor. What is this breaking exactly?
It's not breaking anything as far I as know. Nor is the vendor tag really that important. Max RPM states: The VENDOR tag is used to display the organization responsible for marketing the package. However, I've used the vendor flag in rpm queries to list packages from certain repositories. Fairly useful when sorting out systems messed up from mixing packages from conflicting repositories. I'm sure there are plenty other ways of doing this though.
Should be fixed, all the mock configs have %vendora defined as "Fedora Project" in them now.
