I took a break from this discussion, but I did want to point out that the guideline itself does say pretty much exactly that: "If some maintainers are also attempting to keep copies of a spec in an outside repository, they MUST be prepared to merge changes made to the spec in Fedora's repository, and MUST NOT overwrite those changes with a copy from an external repository or using fedpkg import. " We don't say that you can't maintain a copy externally, only that Fedora's specfile is part of Fedora and that maintainers must expect that Fedora will occasionally be modifying it. Surely it isn't too much to ask that those modifications not be wiped out. - J< _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/H4XCJGJCYYZITHN7CJET4BW56357BKFC/
