When building RPM's for CentOS, should I include ".el5.centos" in the Release field? I recently built (you might remember) pdftk-1.12-1.i386.rpm and have made it available for testing and inclusion in the Centos repos. However, when trying to find RPM's, I find it helpful if the package filename includes the distro and distro version number. I can easily produce "pdftk-1.12-1.el5.centos.i386.rpm" and other related files, but is this kosher? Or is the ".el5.centos" designation reserved for official releases, post-QA?
Just trying to do the right thing here. . .
