If this is relevant or not, I really don't know, but is inconsistent. In my point of view this is not a packaging problem, but was a decision made by the upstream (in my opinion, a inconsistent decision) that is making the license spec field and the license file be different. > > > [!]: Package meets the Packaging Guidelines::Python > > I don't get the reason, why the package doesn't comply to the additional > Python guidelines… William should use the python macros defined on the guidelines, as I pointed on the review. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
