Hi all,
There has been an ongoing problem with httpd and system package build scripts. Over time, changes have been backported to the build system (autoconf, etc) which breaks packaging scripts and files such as the RPM spec file.
The packaging files are then fixed, but the backport sits in the STATUS file without enough votes to move it forward, and eventually a release is made with broken packaging.
What I propose is that changes to packaging files (such as build/rpm/httpd.spec.in, build/pkg/buildpkg.sh, etc) should be CTR, just as documentation files are. This will not apply if other files (source code for example) are involved in the change.
++1 !
