Re: Query Regarding RPM

If you want attribute the package ownership, so  you can  find  later,  to
the  shar  utility that have installed the package you
can, but it is only an idea, to define in your spec file

Packager (or Vendor): <your shar file>

So you can later query for example

rpm -qa --qf 'Package %{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch} was installed by
%{packager} \n"

Sure, look as an hack, and it is. In fact, some better rpm tags would  be
more "right" to use : Vendor or Packager have other use.
