Hi,
If FPC would be open to bulk-approving machine-generated individual
spec files (given, say, they're provably all following the template,
which would be reviewed), and rel-eng has some way of bulk-adding the
necessary branches and builds, that really seems like a step forward to
me.
Makes sense to me, not only for texlive, stuff like perl pkgs from cpan
have pretty standard way to be built too. Having scripts which can
generate (and update) spec files -- according to latest packaging
guidelines -- for certain classes of packages would be very useful.
cheers,
Gerd
