[opensuse-packaging] Packager: rpm tag

28 Aug 2008

      While cleaning up the libqca2 package according to rpmlint checks using osc 
build, I got a warning that there are no Packager: tags in the packages.  
After adding a Packager tag, I got a warning that I should not hardcode 
Packager: becauser "rebuilder cannot change it".  What's the correct behaviour 
here?

1) Is this rpmlint check spurious, eg since packages in the distro seem to 
have a Packager tag of http://bugs.opensuse.org that was added automatically?

2) Or is there a correct Packager tag using some macro that is automatically 
filled for packages that are only in the public Build Service?  

The fedora packaging guidelines 
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines) discourage the use of 
Packager.  I'll add this info to our guidelines once I know how to do it 
right.
