Hallo.
I have just notified, that many people "fix" (i. e. break) their packages to pass QA checks by removing required files instead of fixing them, i. e. removing .desktop files instead of installing icon or fixing Categories, removing gconf schemas instead of correct installation.
If they "fix" or "break" their package what does it help to add a comment? It looks like you are proposing that package maintainers have a clue ;)
No. Especially cluelessness needs documentation. Example: "# I don't care about this gconf stuff. Remove seems to help." This is a very useful comment. It pinpoints the actual problem that the maintainer has. cheers, Jw. -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de wide open suse_/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 (tm)__/ (____/ /\ (/) | __________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
