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

[Florian Festi]

No, the package name should not be limited. It looks like there is a bug in the code creating the lead. But it is hard to tell where exactly this is. If your Java program is creating the package directly without creating a spec file and then running rpmbuild I would advice checking the code that creates the lead in there. If it does create a spec it might be a bug in rpm 4.4.2 which is ancient and we won't fix anythin in there. But oyu can try to switch to rpm 4.4.2.3 which contains lots of bugfixes.
