Hi Nelson, This sounds great. Does anyone know if a wiki page will be created / updated about how spec files should look like? As I look at your reply, I'm thinking about SLE(S|D)10 and maybe even SLE(S|D)11 they won't be handling a missing %clean correctly as their rpm is 4.4.2. So I wonder if it's a good idea to remove %clean now? Regards, Joop. On Fri, December 23, 2011 11:25 pm, Nelson Marques wrote:

With RPM 4.9+ you no longer require the %clean section, it's done automatically. There's the new %check section amongst other things... Newer versions of RPM shouldn't require either the %defattr(-,root,root,-) as they should be doing it by default... and if things are like in Fedora, the BuildRoot should be handled automatically also (not sure if implemented on OBS).

All,

I have a question lately I see spec files that have been changed with the remark (cf. specfile guidelines).

The %clean section has been removed for example, this doesn't feel right to me.

Does anyone know something about the cf. specfile guidelines? Did I miss something?

Regards,

Joop.
