kver in release (was: Re: rpms/kernel-module-thinkpad/devel kernel-module-thinkpad-console.perms, NONE, 1.1 kernel-module-thinkpad.modules, NONE, 1.1 kernel-module-thinkpad.spec, 1.7, 1.8 kernel-module-thinkpad-README.Fedora, 1.1, NONE"
Not really important, but imho important enough to send this mail:

I'm still wondering if another character would be better. "_" is already used in the %{release} of the kernel -- imho it's a bit confusing. And it's not easy to convert the result or this tr"" back to the original output of "uname -r" if someone wants to do that.

What would you suggest instead?
Alternately, we could make the Provides: kernel-module = %{kver}, then you'd have a guaranteed way of having the value spit out in its original output.

What other chars are allowed in %{release}?
/me looks over my keyboard
= works, but probably is not a good idea ยง works
Or what about
2.%(echo %{kver} | sed 's/-/__/)
Still confusing but at least could be converted back.

Without the name? Yeah, why not.
Does the old fedora.us/livna scheme make more sense as a virtual provides maybe? Provides: kernel-module-somename-%{kver} = %{version}-%{release}
I'm undecided...
