I'd actually say for now, keep it like it is. It is surprising how many people look at rpm changelogs wanting to know what changed and when. Of course, if Fedora's rpm package guide lines change and strongly advocate differently, then we could look further.

I did see some tito references but nothing that shows exactly how to build them or at least the document doesn't match the current sources. -Original Message- From: spacewalk-devel-boun...@redhat.com [mailto:spacewalk-devel-boun...@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Jan Pazdziora Sent: Friday, September 24, 2010 1:53 PM To: spacewalk-devel@redhat.com Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-devel] Development environment build On Wed, Sep 22, 2010 at 12:43:26PM -0600, Shelby, James wrote: > I'm having a problem building the test rpms from the base git and receive the > following error.
