Is there a RPM File naming convention in LSB?


RPM is the package format in LSB but does LSB force any naming standard for RPMs similarly to this:

Solution

  • In the relevant section of the "LSB Book", Packaging, it's only required

    However, the standard LSB packaging tool wrapper, makelsbpkg, is said to generate package names in the form mypackage-1.0.0-1.%arch.rpm, which, I guess is the name-version-release.architecture.rpm scheme you linked to.

    (I think, it's intended that package name (mypackange in the example above, already contains lsb- prefix. I'm not sure, never actually ran the tool.)
