As they are the most prominent downstream we have, I would like this resolved before changing Fedora's defaults. At the time we branched from Fedora Linux 34, there were very few packages using rpmautospec and I don't think any that were kept used rpmautospec. Now it is very obvious it would be a problem, so I would like that fixed first. CentOS and RHEL infrastructure needs to account for it properly and not gut the Git history. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
