RPMTAG_PACKAGER is one example. RPMTAG_URL is another. I'm really trying to
determine if there are fields I am not accounting for (I see mention of
suggests and enhances, but I've never seen an rpm with those defined)?
That's why I was hoping for a layout of what is required and what is
optional. I'm guessing each tool that uses the metadata has different
requirements, is this correct?
