Makes sense. But the names of src.rpm published by RHEL do contain index and commit hash, don't they? E.g. from the link I referenced earlier at https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020:3714 , src.rpm is httpd-2.4.37-21.module+el8.2.0+5008+cca404a3.src.rpm Are these original src.rpm names lost during the import process? > > josh > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-devel mailing list > CentOS-devel at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel
