Quoting Sascha Peilicke
Hi all,
just to notify you all, since quite some time you neither need to specify a clean section nor a BuildRoot in your spec files. Official rpm.org rpm (present in openSUSE) has reasonable defaults.
It happened recently that I already let a (games) package into Factory which had no %clean setion. Whilst this was an accident, the question is on how we want to handle this in the future.
Shame on you!
You should be aware that this is not support on any SLE*. Generally, we wouldn't care for Factory but if you want to build for SLE, you may want to keep it. I was told that the games guys already started to convert their spec files. So we need a decision.
I would argue not to do it! A big feature of OBS is the fact that we can use one .spec file for multiple targets. Of course this does not work with every .spec file we now have, but at least those banalities I would really hate having to fix in every branched package I/sombody creates for any other RPM based system. The sections are simple enough and well understood I hope.
