I don't dare to guess how big the two parts are and which of them deserves the term "most places".
Because those who are driven away do no longer count their percentage shrinks while the percentage of those who are left increases until only the latter part is left.

What is more important for openSUSE: Be open for others (and accept diversity) or be uniform (to make maintenance easier)?
Perhaps only for openSUSE core packages (whatever that exactly means - perhaps packages that are also in SLE ?) the RPM spec files and the RPM changelogs must be in compliance with a standard to make maintenance easier?
This is a thread about a certain tool that can be used to clean up spec files, when dealing with a really old package it can be quite useful, but we have no policy that says you must run it and many of the things that it does are helpful rather then policy because at times they can be unhelpful. Personally I don't have the service installed because it can break some things and especially when dealing with maintenance updates it makes changes that are unhelpful, having said that there are times when I need to clean something up and I'll clone it from git and run it manually on a spec file.

Yeah I care less about this one, at the same time I don't recall having to do any work to fix it, the people that care about it did that. So I don't see it as a major issue, the project decided by vote how it should be and i'm happy to respect that I see no reason not to have it uniform and hopefully all the templates etc have been updated so unless you write something from scratch, which you shouldn't it won't be an issue for you. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
