would you recommend as a replacement? I wouldn't say it is for packaging *only* and CVE info is not consistently listed in the changelog anyway and a good replacement might be to just search CVE id in https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates Rahul -- devel mailing list devel

Re: Unhelpful update descriptions

2013-03-14 Thread Rahul Sundaram
but not necessarily when a new update fixes a bunch of issues and security issue happens to be one of them. In some cases, there is no CVE id assigned for the problem either but if you want to request that packaging guidelines recommend this in the general case, file it at https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ Rahul

been packaging long before Fedora even existed and maintain/co-maintain over a hundred RPM packages for Fedora but that's besides the point. Providing links in the changelog is just good practice. Telling that users can just google isn't. Rahul -- devel mailing list devel
