Thank you drafting next steps which needs to be done. Will try to follow. > Why not rebuild all packages?

Maybe it was not obvious but my original though was introduce it using as simple way as it is only possible then after commit imminently push all fixed packages to rebuild to confirm that none of those changes (which many will be introduced more or less by manual modifications) are affection at least correct build of those packages on official builders. This could minimize number of possible mistakes.

I think that it it will be closer to 90% :) Nevertheless I think that whole set of +1300 specs could be divided in some batches in which first will go specs which can be corrected using exact text substitution then in next steps all specs which needs to be treated individually. Just one more clarification that all those changes should start when FPG will be updated and in %changelog should used the same text pointing to new FPG rule or pagure ticket. kloczek -- Tomasz Kłoczko | LinkedIn: http://lnkd.in/FXPWxH _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
