Re: Clarification on Naming convention of the new recent packages #162

Hi Anbazhagan,

This behavior is expected.

The PGDG RPMs for RHEL 8 are typically built against the most recent minor
release available (currently 8.10). Because Red Hat Enterprise Linux
maintains ABI compatibility across RHEL 8 minor versions, packages built on
8.10 remain compatible with earlier minor releases such as 8.9, 8.8, etc.

For that reason, the package naming may include the ".rhel8.10" suffix even
when the RPM is located in repositories corresponding to earlier minor
versions like "rhel-8.9-x86_64".

In short, the suffix reflects the build environment rather than a strict
requirement for that exact minor release.

Best regards
