Technically that's true, but it doesn't allow you to have a unified spec file for all branches of Fedora and EPEL. It's quite nice to be able to do fast-forward merges in Git, instead of having visible merge commits, or instead of manually cherry-pick changes. It's up to the maintainer to decide of course. I've just found it's much easier to follow development on a package when the spec is unified like this. EPEL in particular hangs around for a very long time! - Ken _______________________________________________ ruby-sig mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/ruby-sig
