Fair enough. I wasn't really suggesting any option (or the absence of it), but point taken. To be honest, I'd go even further: just like we got rid of %clean sections, maybe we could get rid of %prep sections in most cases? rpmbuild could just assume that if no %prep section is present, then it should just use %autosetup, with a certain set of options agreed upon. -- Mathieu -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
