If I was packaging the latest of some branch, I agree that it would be a snapshot and would thus obviously need to follow the snapshot naming guidelines. But reptyr-0.2 is not a branch, it's a tag. $ git tag reptyr-0.1 reptyr-0.2 upstream/0.1+git.20110212t183758.d51bfc2d $ git branch -r origin/HEAD -> origin/master origin/attach-fds origin/debian origin/master origin/pristine-tar One could argue that tags could be moved to point to a different revision later, but that's a splitting hairs discussion I have no interest in. >, that of stable release tarballs cannot. That's simply not true. It's not a good practice by any means, but unfortunately it's not uncommon at all for some upstreams to modify/replace "stable release tarballs" in place. -- 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
