There is another change in the kernel's specfile relating to where the %buildid is inserted into the version string. Previously the kernel NVR would look like this:
kernel-5.6.0-0.rc7.git1.1.BUILDID.fc33.src.rpm
... but now it looks like this:
kernel-5.7.0-0.rc1.20200414git8632e9b5645b.1.fc33.BUILDID.src.rpm
Any chance you can change the specfile so that the %buildid comes before %dist as it did in the past?
And how about making it a bit shorter? Until now I added ".vanilla.knurd.1" for my vanilla builds (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel_Vanilla_Repositories ), but doing that now exceeds the 64 char limit now and thus results in build error. No big deal, I can remove the ".knurd", but I liked the old way more, as that made it more obvious *what* kind of kernel this is and *who* built it.
And is the "2020" really that important when we have 5.7-rc1 already? How about changing "20200414git" to "0414g" and get something like this (saves 7 chars):
kernel-5.7.0-0.rc1.0414g8632e9b5645b.1.fc33.BUILDID.src.rpm
Anyway, I don't care to much, just a suggestion, no need for a big bike shedding debate.
