I've seen on a few occasions reviewers mention that they can't tell what has changed in the spec since the previous version, as the new packager has overwritten the previous spec. I've also seen reviewers ask the new packager to document changes in the changelog as they go along, even before release, as it's quite helpful for both packager and reviewer. -- Jamie Nguyen -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
