we have the rule that a readme.suse or suse.tar.bz2 should be prefixed with the package name to avoid collisions when installing the src rpm.
that said it is not the smartest idea that many people call their patches "gcc-4.3.diff". please prefix your patches atleast with the package name.
I think this rule should either be dropped or enforced. I disagree about the usefulness of this rule in general.
so it is not useful to install multiple src rpms conflict free at the same time? besides it worked well for other files aswell in the past. about the enforcement part: i only see one way to enforce it and that would mean a naming pattern for files inside a package. there was already a proposal about that but i havent seen any agreement on that either. many people use different naming patterns. most people use the package name in the filename. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
