Packages (ie spec files) should in most cases not have packager tags. If
a package has no packager tag, the packager had no %packager tag in
their rpm macros.

BTW, I still propose better default rpm macros, such as:

http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/configs/rpmmacros
or something like it.

And rpmlint on klama recently started complaining about unsigned
packages (although my .gnupg is not accessible by me on klama, I assume
intentionally) and complaining about @linux-mandrake addresses ...

Or it may come right when people fix their configs.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ? Otherwise if contributors get
@linux-mandrake.com addresses still, use those, unless Mandrakesoft is
happy to have bug reports on packages go missing when contributors
change email addresses (whereas at least an @linux-mandrake.com alias
can be easily adjusted).
