I would have been in favour of a different approach in that case:
- announce clearly the new policy for license tags (I only read some references but nothing dedicated)
- rpmlint checks (even fatal would be fine for Factory)
- let maintainers fix it
- before 12.2 release do a bulk change for packages not already fixed
The fatal rpmlint check would have hit 99.9% of all packages and why let maintainers fix something a script can fix in half an hour? I rather have important bugs fixed for openSUSE then wasting everyone's time changing syntax.
I basically understand that. I'm just telling my situation. I had exactly the same amount of work in that case as the other way round but only because I noticed which was more or less just luck. If I wouldn't have noticed it would have at least doubled my work. I just want that people are aware that there are other workflows out there which are affected by such changes. I know there are tons of workflows out there. And I tried to a) come up with a way that harms the least workflows and b) discuss it on packaging first.
