Re-reviewing is another story/task. What I wrote was about substing obvious cases. Those trivial substs probably would cover +90% of all packages in time in my estimation. Currently in Fedora is 23ish k packages so to review with greater care ~2.5k lets say 30-50/day as afk/warming-up task each day should take for single person top few weeks .. not years. And because it would be done by single person I'm sure that he/she will be improving that task during that applying better and better methodology ans sometimes tools. In that approach I'm 100% sure that quality of that review will far greater than with spreading that task to all possible maintainers. Issue only is that this can be done OLNY by proven packager because submission PRs/discussing/etc will eat order of magnitude more time to someone without such permission. Licenses are changing all the time so always will be non-empty set of spec files with incorrect Licence: field(s) assignment. This is like with collecting mushrooms in the forest. Fist group collects "all what was possible to find" and went after all home with full buckets. Than second one after few days is doing the same .. and so on😎 kloczek -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
