When backporting the fix for bug #986971 to SLE-10 SP3 and SLE-11 SP1/SP2, I
had submit requests rejected because package descriptions were missing in the
.spec file.
Please note that for those releases, the .spec file is generated upon "make
package" or "make package-local", and back then, package descriptions (and
IIRC even the package summary) was fetched from the package database and
automatically merged into the .spec file. Back then, autobuild did that.
But OBS does not do that any more; it relies on the .spec file being correct.
And in the case of those old Git branches, this sometimes means to carefully
check the %description tags in the .spec file and, if neccessary, to edit the
.spec.in file to get the correct package description when the .spec file is
generated.
Notice that this also applies to subpackages, so check the whole (!) .spec.in
file for things like
%description
-
and replace the '-' with the correct package description.
Kind regards
