Well, it's not a big issue, and occasionally packagers run into the pitfall and interchange pre-release and post-release versioning schemes. So, what is it? A pre-release snapshot or a post-release snapshot? What will the next upstream release become? The last official release was 0.3-beta6 (and down to betaN many years ago), assumably a pre-release. | Version: 0.3 | Release: 3.20090503cvs%{?dist} For a pre-release snapshot, correct would be Release: 0.3.20090503cvs%{?dist} with the 0. prefix and the X in 0.X being increased with every modification of the package, so there could be a final Version: 0.3 Release: 1%{?dist} package. Guidelines here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Snapshot_packages https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#PreReleasePackages [...] The BuildRoot tag is non-standard, too, and didn't follow the old guidelines. Meanwhile, the tag is not needed anymore, but if present, the old guidelines are still linked for Fedora EPEL: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#BuildRoot_tag https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#BuildRoot_tag [...] > %{_mandir}/man8/%{name}.8.gz Prefer the wildcard extension over .gz %{_mandir}/man8/%{name}.8.* so the compression technique (applied by rpmbuild) could be changed any time without breaking the package build. -- 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
