Good for those willing to use it. > That error tell you: there are some manually added sub-packages related > stuff in the spec, but you should > edit the yaml firstly and the spec will be updated by spectacle > automatically. Now you can remove the manually > added lines, and modify the yaml for the needed changes. Trouble is, I did not touch that spec at all. Surely there should be a way to make spectacle completely overwrite the spec without trying to be smart about patching it? Or is it so that you can't actually express everything in yaml, so the users are advised to descend into a generate-and-hack extravaganza with valuable information spread between the two files? And the main issue remains: I don't want to grapple with Spectacle yaml syntax, when I already know what to do in the spec. For example, I knew immediately how to add %exclude directives to the file list, while with yaml it would have taken me a while to figure it out. MeeGo should be a friendly environment to all kinds of maintainers, including experienced ones, right?
