Hi all,
2 questions:
1) Must the description in owners.list exactly match the rpm summary?
2) May the descriotion be changed after the initial adding of a package
to owners.list?
I'm asking because I would like to change the description of a few
libraries I maintain to include the word library (but only in
onwers.list, not in the rpms) to stop Chris's comps nag mails from
nagging me :)
1) No. If it changes, just what is going to break? Nothing.
Therefore it can be different. I think the descriptions are only used
in the bugzilla page (AFAIK).
2) Yes. If it changes, just what is going to break? Nothing... etc blah blah
Anyway, this e-mail it seems is more to do with Chris' comps email
nags than owner list changes. Parsing the owners list for the word
library seems like an *extremely* unreliable way to filter out
libraries. Perhaps he should look at an rpms group tag, or if there
is a devel subpackage for the rpm instead.
Anyway, I wouldn't bother changing owner descriptions just to
work-around Chris' email nag software. Instead Chris needs to come up
with a better filtering algorithm.
