Actually E:N-V-R.A is yum-ism no one else understand
while N-E:V-R.A is correct rpm format.
So if you want make world a better place stick with current dnf format.
I think this, with the combination of earlier suggestion, is the
best solution for Fedora. So:
1) make yum calculate checksum primarly with DNF format
2) when there's a discrepancy, let yum calculate csum in legacy yum format
This way:
- dnf is not bothered
- users of yum have continuous history
- new yum users have checksum calculated in better way
Win-win!
