Fix is easy to baseurl, but again, why?
Hmmm, what that for a shit (sorry). That's totally unacceptable -- from
a legal standpoint and the technical standpoint, as it would result in a
great mess if each and every package would ship their own repo file.
(Not to mention the security implications this has.)
Could someone please remove clement-2.1-241 (the older one has no
repo-file afaics) from all the repos as quickly as possible
(extras-signers are CCed to this mail)? tia!
What to we do to prevent such shit in the future? Isn't this the second
time this problem comes up? Wasn't it clement in the first occurrence,
too? (Maintainer CCed, please comment)
Check this out!

So the maintainer tweaked their local copy of the spec, built an SRPM
and used cvs-import.sh to import it, hence losing Tibbs' earlier fix
that removed the repo file. Looks ignorant/careless rather than
malicious to me.
