[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] The max lengthe of RPM package name is 66? (#974)

[Florian Festi]

The lead is not really the data that's being used and it is only there for legacy purpose. But RPM is expecting it to be in the format that is in the code. You can't just change that data structure. Also this field contains the NEVR of the package (Name:Epoch-Version-Release) 
The actual name goes into the NAME tag. 

Are you running into actual issues with a package with a long name? What error message do you see? And can you post the spec file of the package?
