https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=831929 --- Comment #6 from Michael Schwendt <mschwendt@xxxxxxxxx> --- The only requirement is to inform upstream. Patching the source files does not add any value, because it doesn't affect the built rpms. None of the patched source files enters the built rpms. The src.rpm includes the unpatched source tarball plus the optional patch. It could even be that the next upstream release removes source files, and then you would need to regenerate your patch, or it adds files and your patch would be out-of-date. The "if deemed suitable" is the catch-all for files other than the original licensing terms, which may be a README or documentation that points at the FSF postal address. Correcting that may make sense in a similar way you would find it suitable to correct an updated/wrong web page URL. -- 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
