Unfortunately, it's nightmarishly bad for simple viewability of specific RPM You see, they seem unwilling to believe in 'git tags'. They believe that it's somehow smarter and more reliable to rely on using a git log with the word "import" in it as an indicator of which corresponding SRPM the repository is tied to, and using the revision of that git log as the way to indicate the state of the git repo for that SRPM build. I leave it to our faithful readers to ponder the number of ways this is *completely* nuts. It's also already broken, with SRPM's being built without a corresponding "git log" entry in the git repository for at least one package. I also leave it to our faithful readers to look over the festonery and contemplate the security implications of not using signed git tags to ensure the provenance of the contents of a local git clone of a remote repository with critical system software. Please, please, please never do this with Fedora? Please? If and as we use git repos, use tags? -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
