Michael Schwendt <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flags|needinfo?(bugs.michael@gmx. | |net) | --- Comment #11 from Michael Schwendt <[email protected]> --- It's okay if packagers target everything from EPEL5 up to Rawhide and keep old stuff such as the BuildRoot definition. It's also okay if they use conditionals, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:DistTag#Conditionals however that isn't highly recommended for various reasons. The spec file can become much more readible, if it doesn't contain many conditional sections. And conditional sections often get out-of-date, because you would update/upgrade Fedora more often than EPEL, and then you would need to test everything for all conditional target dists, too. And, of course, the spec files for different dist releases are stored in separate git branches. [...] In the Fedora Package Review queue, all tickets are set to "Version: Rawhide", regardless of whether they will be published for older Fedora branches and EPEL after approval. If a new package is made only for EPEL (I could imagine that), the submitter should be explicit about that. It could be that a reviewer will ask why the package would not be published for a Fedora dist. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
