#373 Consider dropping the "module_" %dist tag prefix
Closed: Fixed 7 years ago Opened 7 years ago by psabata.

Currenty, every module component's %dist tag begins with the module_ prefix. I think this is redundant and makes %dist tags longer than necessary.

I'm not sure what the reason for this originally was but if it was to avoid clashes with the standard release %dist tags, keep in mind that

  • module %dist tags also contain stream names and versions
  • you could always forbid confusing module names (such as "fc27") by a distribution policy

The %dist tag length is already causing us trouble when building the kernel package where we exceed the hardcoded limit of 64 bytes for KERNELRELEASE.

Please, consider changing this before the production deployment tomorrow.
