Can I create my new tag: nagriktag: yes

[Nagrik]

Hello Group,

Are the tags in rpm files are well defined i.e. should I choose from
may be some 25 previously defined tags and can not change any of tag's
name.

Can I create my personal tag like;

nagrik_tag: yes <Just an example>

Could someone please tell me. I will greatly appreciate this.

Thanks.

Tags are these things which you will see after 'rpm --querytags'
and they are "built-in". Only 'rpm --querytags | wc -l' prints for
me 170 so it is not clear about what "25" you are talking about.

If you want to define your own macros then go ahead. You will
find a lot of examples in /usr/lib/rpm/ and 'rpm --showrc' will
show you what you have already predefined. Output of this comes
to 913 lines on my system but not all of that are new definitions.

How about starting with some documentation? Even 'man rpm' talks a bit
on the subject and has examples.
