I am working on 64 bits RHEL and I want rpm -q to use these tags by default:
'%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}'
Other than typing the tags by hand or defining an alias, is there a way I can configure this in ~/.rpmrc or another config file?

The %_query_all_fmt macro defines what format is used. Set it in ~/.rpmmacros.
%_query_all_fmt %{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}

Works great, thanks! Before I accept your answer, can you please tell me where you found this? I searched for the answer but couldn't find it. Thanks! Jul 28, 2010 at 17:56

I can't remember. I've been using rpm for... about a decade, and it's one of the things I picked up along the way. Anyways,
rpm --showrcis your friend. Jul 28, 2010 at 17:59
I found below output most practical:
rpm -q --qf \
'%{name}-%|epoch?{%{epoch}:}:{}|%{version}-%{release}%|arch?{.%{arch}}:{}|\n'
in ~/.rpmmacros you can skip adding \n at the end of the format. Basically it skips displaying %{epoch} or %{arch} if package doesn't have it set. For example see output of rpm -q tar openssl bind-libs perl-CGI gpg-pubkey on Scientific Linux 6.2.
