I am putting forward that in those less clear situations between, where the upstream does not offer tar.xz, and something like .zip isn't involved that makes it easy to point out why you should preserve the original in that case, that it's a bad policy to tell people to repackage upstream sources.
I don't deny such policy exists right now, I'm saying I think it's a bad one.
Trying to argue against .zip, I'm beginning to agree and think it probably is. Size reductions are always marginal and don't warrant the repacking IMHO. The final rpm/deb will be compressed with whatever the build system prefers anyway, so this is only about source packages. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
