I don't see it mentioned in Fedora Packaging guidelines about
%autosetup [1]
nor in RPM documentation [2] which is linked as further documentation.
Should we have this documented somewhere?
We don't actually have any place where the question of directory naming
is discussed in the guidelines. The tutorials [1,2] use plain
%autosetup
because the tarball uses a good name. And in the main docs [3]
%forgesetup
is used. Should the recommendation for %forgesetup be dropped and
replaced
by plain '%autosetup -C' ?
I can make PR to add some notes/examples of the "bad" case just need to
figure out what would be the best place.
If I understood correctly this comment [1], with %forgeautosetup no
additional flags are needed?
