Ah, thanks. Is there a written policy disallowing renaming the package
in the spec like I did? (I sense it might not be fully legitimate, but
couldn't find anything).
If I remember right, the spec file name needs to be in the format <dist-git-repo-name>.spec
Thus, the spec file needs to be openssl3.spec, and thus you aren't really renaming it. :)
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong about the spec file naming, but I had to do that for my various <package>-epel spec file.
Between syncing with Rawhide/Fedora and syncing with CS9, this will be
interesting. CS9 *does* have openssl 3.x and we generally don't want to
change this package too much, so if merging from a different package is
needed for maintenance anyway, maybe CS9 is the better 'upstream' to
use.
Will check at the EPEL meeting today before proceeding, thanks!
