I'm the owner of an affected package and, after thinking about this a bit, I'm somewhat disinclined to change my %post script. I would have to make it considerably more complicated to comply with this, and doing so would only fix my package. I think I'd much prefer for rofiles-fuse to become more permissive so that existing scripts keep working, thus fixing many packages in one go. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
