           Summary: Please blacklist *opt/gnome* in autobuild
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: GNOME
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
         QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx


Packages that try to install files into /opt/gnome, /etc/opt/gnome and
/var/opt/gnome should be rejected in autobuild (except for compatibility
packages that must use these directories for specific reasons).

This can be implemented with a brp script that checks for an environment
variable, so that individual packages can override the check if there's a very
good reason.

It's extremely important to blacklist /etc/opt/gnome and /var/opt/gnome as
well, just blacklisting /opt/gnome is not sufficient as it seems that some
packages happily continue using especially /etc/opt/gnome.[1]
