  • what does "pc" actually mean in rpm libsolv-0.7.22-1.el8pc.x86_64.rpm naming

    Posted on

    Just notice the rpm naming and "Release" for some RHEL 8 rpms include "el8pc" (example provided below). I know el8 means enterprise Linux 8, while what does "pc" mean here? and what is the purpose of appending pc after el8?

    # rpm -qi -p libsolv-0.7.22-1.el8pc.x86_64.rpm

    Summary     : Package dependency solver
    Description :
    A free package dependency solver using a satisfiability algorithm. The
    library is based on two major, but independent, blocks:
    
    - Using a dictionary approach to store and retrieve package
      and dependency information.
    
    - Using satisfiability, a well known and researched topic, for
      resolving package dependencies.
