Then ask yourself, should we fix all spec > files to add a %build, or should we fix redhat-rpm-config? Yep. We fix redhat-rpm-config. Then the next time we run across something unexpected happens we break packages again. Then we fix it again. Then it breaks again..... We're supposed to be promoting good packaging practice here. If we know that something as simple as including %build in your spec is a way to isolate your package from some subset of problematic special cases, then we should do that.
Okay, so you are saying it is better to hide or mask problems rather than fix them? I'm sorry, but I disagree. Probably the reason things are so hacky as they are now is because we have been hiding problems rather than fixing them. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
