I'm sort of with Till here, really; autotest does seem to be wilfully doing rather odd things, and I think it'd be perfectly reasonable to patch those even if upstream weren't immediately interested in the patch. It's not a question of 'a downstream distribution's' filesystem standards, this is FHS stuff, which all distros pay at least lip service to. You didn't seem to answer Till's question as to why an autotest user account is necessary. The comment "This package is specific to Fedora..." is probably supposed to read "This patch is specific to Fedora..." The description is quite thin. It might be useful to explain briefly what the hell autotest is. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
