[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Build version (build tag?) in RPM (Discussion #2031)

[Daniel Alley]

>can we give an rpm package a unique identifier, which would not only depend on the Version of the sources and Release field of the spec file, but which would also uniquely identify the build environment used to build it?

How do you define unique identifier?  

It is commonplace to change RPMs after build-time via signing.  Just because two packages have the same NEVRA **and** build time does not mean they are the same package.  If you want something truly unique, you probably want a checksum.
