I used to agree with this, but I've come around to thinking that spec files should be smaller, less complicated, and more automatable. I think we'd be better having a post-build test warning that this package has files missing from the previous build. That could be advisory, or it could even gate, with the packager clearing the gate by updating the file list in the test, rather than in the spec file. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
