Hi,<br>
<br>
Just wondering, is there a particular reason why non-commiters are
not allowed to create buildroot overrides for a package?<br>
<br>
Reason for asking: I've got a package (openambit) which installs a
file to<br>
<br>
<title>Konsole output</title>
<div>
<span style="font-family:monospace"><span
style="color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;">%{_libdir}/wireshark/plugins/%{wireshark_ver}/ambit.so</span><br>
</span><br>
This means, for every version change of wireshark, I need to
adjust %{<span style="font-family:monospace"><span
style="color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;">wireshark_ver}
and rebuild.<br>
<br>
At present, stable and branched releases, to avoid broken
dependencies in the time window wireshark and then openambit
are pushed to stable, I'd need to nag the wireshark maintainer
every time to create a buildroot override, or ask for commit
access to wireshark. I suppose I should do the latter, but
yeah, just wondering if there is a reason against allowing
people to create buildroot overrides directly.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Sandro<br>
