==> Regarding Core Packages in Violation of the Fedora Naming Guidelines; "Tom 'spot' Callaway" <tcallawa at redhat.com> adds:

tcallawa> The following Fedora Core packages from development (rawhide-20060711)
tcallawa> are in violation of the Fedora Package Naming Guidelines. There are
tcallawa> undoubtedly other packages in violation, but these are the most
tcallawa> egregious that I could identify:

tcallawa> Bad beta naming (should be e.g. foo-1.8.1-0.1.beta5)
tcallawa> =====================================================
tcallawa> autofs-5.0.0_beta6-5.src.rpm

The upstream package is named autofs-5.0.0_betaX.  You can't impose Fedora
naming conventions on upstream packages.
