See: > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_Fedpkg I like this idea, iff it is the message being put in the Makefiles before cvs.fedoraproject.org goes readonly and dist-cvs is phased out, so that everybody using old CVS checkouts will eventually run into something like this: $ make tag Error: Make is no longer used to build packages. Use fedpkg instead. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Using_Fedpkg for details. $ As to Makefiles in the new dist-git repos, I still strongly prefer not having any Makefiles there at all. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
