Sometimes I really have to cringe at some specfiles and wonder how they got through the opensuse factory review team. I do not want to say openSUSE is the sloppiest distros of all, but claiming openSUSE has too high a specfile standard is just untrue.
Personally two things annoying me: 1. Some reviewers insist on adding a lot of lines to .changes files claiming that there are common practices to do so. But many packages do this differently. And personally I think it's plain wrong to add all upstream changes to fit into .changes when simply updating to a new upstream release. 2. Often I just want to contribute a new upstream release to an existing package and then after submitting it I'm expected to clean up the .spec (which I did not produce) to comply to new guide-lines. Sometimes I do but sometimes I just do not have the time and give up. Ciao, Michael.
