[opensuse-factory] Copyright added to spec automatically
Hi, Something I do not understand, I have branched factory present package from its' devel project and afterwards when I osc ci the package back to my home branch somehow the following is added # Copyright (c) 2012 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany. The spec file already has the copyright related lines so the question is why when uploading the package the SUSE copyright is added. I have checked the package spec both in the devel project and in factory and they do not have this line so that means SUSE copyright is not mandatory and if so why during the osc ci process the copyright line is added. It is not something I am against but why does osc not honor the already present copyright Thanks Togan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Looks like format_spec_file is forced on your package by way of the project-wide _service configuration of the project branched from. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

It shouldn't replace any existant copyrights - just add. I don't know why it's adding either, but as the license text it adds is copyrightable
too, it's *kind* of a point.
The problem with preexistant copyrights is that it needs to detect them as such. But we do have e.g. this one:
bleachbit.spec:# Copyright (c) 2012 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg, Germany.
bleachbit.spec:# Copyright (c) 8/2011 by open-slx GmbH
