As reaction to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SPDX_Licenses_Phase_1
there were two similar feedbacks:
* maintainer of package wants to use SPDX in both new and old branches (including f36, epel7...)
* Bodhi cannot recognize old short names in old branches and new SPDX formulas in new branches.
The thing with Bodhi is that once an update is created, then a message is emitted and rpminspect checks the license
(among other things) and adds a good or bad stamp. It is only a warning for the maintainer and cannot stop the update
itself.
We (the proposal owners) agreed that rpminspect will be altered (if the change will be approved) to accept both old
short names and new SPDX identifiers. In all branches.
And the Packaging Guidelines will be altered that in old active branches you may use either the old shortname or the new
SPDX identifiers. What will better work for you.
We see no reason why not to do that. It should not cause any harm. If **you** know of any reason we should not propose
this, please tell us now.
