"  Snapshot packages
If a snapshot package is considered a "pre-release package", you should follow the guidelines listed in Pre-Release Packages , and use an %{alphatag} beginning with the date in YYYYMMDD format and followed by up to 16 (ASCII) alphanumeric characters of your choosing."
Is there a minimum number of alphatag chars ?
Would 2 be a good minimum eg: fits hg
Suggest change to:
"followed by between 2 and 16 (ASCII) alphanumeric characters of your choosing."
