Summary: Review Request: libipoddevice https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183290 ------- Additional Comments From bugs.michael@xxxxxxx 2006-03-02 10:18 EST ------- Well, it's been a recommendation at fedora.us, and many packagers have been so nice and accepted it. Its background is that (1) packagers would simply copy URLs into the .spec file, making sure the download location from within their browser/downloader really matches the spec file (2) reviewers could copy the URL during review and would not need to use spectool or other forms of expanding the macros and retrieving a valid URL -- remember that reviewers also need to verify download locations, so visiting web pages, looking up download sections and comparing the URLs with spec files With macros in download URLs, what often happens is that packagers don't verify them, not even when a tarball changes from .tar.gz to .tar.bz2 and moves to a different directory. In that case they simply change the file extension to make the src.rpm work again. ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
