I don't know how closely you are working with upstream - but typically release is something that the distro handles e.g. if they have a choice in future naming of their tarballs only include name and version, and let release be handled by Fedora. RPM version should generally always match upstream versioning. There are some exceptions, largely documented in this section: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Package_Versioning Release however tends to be distro specific - so every time you change the spec file you'll increment the release. While it seems bothersome now, and the problem you cite with including spec file is an issue. There are lots of builds that will increment the changelog/release and you'll have no control over, so for instance, there's a mass rebuild of all Fedora packages going on now (or very shortly) for a new gcc version. That means an incremented release and an additional changelog entry (and new builds of the software going out). Also keep in mind that others (those in the provenpackager group) can touch your packages, modify spec files, etc. So you might get $version-1 into the repo for a given tag. Most folks who include a spec files make it a pretty generalized, working spec file in the source repo. Sheepdog is a decent example of this: https://github.com/collie/sheepdog/blob/master/sheepdog.spec.in Keep in mind you'll be checking your spec file into a package-specific git repo and maintaining it there for Fedora and EPEL. -- 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
