The rpm-config package is certainly pretty specific to RHEL/Fedora. Can't speak to the other two of my own knowledge ... but if they weren't renamed the first time around, it's probably because people thought they were distro-specific. s/redhat/fedora/ seems a plausible solution to me. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Calling it by a generic name encourages broader adoption as well c.f system-config-printer which is the default for all major distributions now.

s/redhat/system in package names
hi, Long time ago, all *redhat* packages were renamed to "system*". But three of them are still alive: redhat-lsb, redhat-menus and redhat-rpm-config Should they switch to "system-" ? -thanks- -- «Allá muevan feroz guerra, ciegos reyes por un palmo más de tierra; que yo aquí tengo por mío cuanto abarca el mar bravío, a quien nadie impuso leyes.
