Upstream SPEC files - was: Re: patch applied without package maintainers' approve
Dne 12. 11. 20 v 21:22 Adam Williamson napsal(a):
If you're going to have this kind of "upstream" spec
file...well, I
wish you wouldn't. But if you do, *AT MINIMUM*, the "downstream" spec
files need to have a clear explanation that there is an "upstream" spec
file, with a justification as to why, and a link to it. At the very
top. Otherwise there is no chance any other Fedora packager is going to
find it.
This is actually a good idea. I have lots of such spec files.
Is it a good idea to document this in Packaging Guidelines? Something like:
If upstream provides SPEC files and your SPEC is a copy you should put on top of SPEC
file:
# This SPEC file is a copy from upstream http://www.upstream.org/foo.spec
