I agree, and I also would like to point out that having to resort to a call to the autotools may be usefull, but in any case shows an issue in the upstream package. Therefore I think it is a good thing to require an explicit move of the packager as a remainder that something is wrong, and that it should better be fixed upstream. -- Pat -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
