After reviewing packages I have suggested %defattr is not strictly necessary. I have also removed %defattr(-,root,root,-) from my contributed spec file https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=644711 Is this correct, i.e. do the package review request authors need to be notified? i.e. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=720085 They are now optional but there's no need to force people to be rid of them. In particular, some people like to build a package for both Fedora and EPEL-5. In this case, a lot of the things that are optional in Fedora have to remain for the EPEL package. -Toshio pgpzNIRFAB2zd.pgp Description: PGP signature -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

I always forget that -- %defattr is optional in EL-5 but not EL-4 ; buildroot is needed even in EL-5. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#Distribution_specific_guidelines -Toshio pgpDPZ78Kb0ol.pgp Description: PGP signature -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
