I got an email notification about a comment that was made on this issue by @n3npq , but I can't see it here in the github webui. Quoting his comment from the email notification: > FWIW, rpm -qlv used exactly the same format as cpio(1) when implemented way > back when. > > Continuing that practice of using the same format as cpio(1) preserves output > compatibility. I checked and tested cpio, and I can confirm it truncates names to 8 characters, but it always has space in between user and group name and hence does not merge them. The format string is `%-8.8s %-8.8s`: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/cpio.git/tree/src/copyin.c?h=release_2_12#n779 I can't tell if that format has been used forever, but it's what's used in the initial import to the above upstream git form 2004. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

FWIW, rpm -qlv used exactly the same format as cpio(1) when implemented way back when. Continuing that practice of using the same format as cpio(1) preserves output compatibility. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
