I think the qemu spec is very clean; the only thing it's really lacking is a bit of comment explaining why it has to use the -compat compiler. How about something like this? # At this time, GCC4 is simply not compatible with the way qemu works, # so the compat-gcc-XX compiler must be used. This also requires that # $RPM_OPT_FLAGS not be used, because some of those flags are not # compatible with the version of the compiler that compat-gcc-XX # provides. And as for the meta-discussion here, I think it's important to realize that there's always going to be some package that's a legitimate exception to just about any guideline. As long as this stuff is accepted by review (or by committee where necessary) and properly documented in the specfile then everything should be fine. - J< -- 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
