The problem is, that you misuse your power to enforce best practice against the will of the developers and not backed up by the policies.
Dear readers, The wiki has on the order of 29 pages of policy-like documents. Their page titles have "policy" or synonyms like "guideline" or "rules" in them, and some are out of pattern ("restricted formats"). They should be considered all the same importance nonwithstanding the title chosen by the page creator some 7 years or so ago. Now, I could be in the minority with my opinion. To find out if that is the case, posting to exactly this list was needed. If there is an overwhelming stance that guidelines should just be guiding lines (though I have a feeling SUSE won't be happy if people do that with the "trademark guidelines"), then it should be so recorded so that everyone can enjoy ignore the guiding lines at leisure.
If this would solve any problem or fix anything this would be ok, but we are speaking here about pure cosmetic without any effect, creating a lot of unecessary work for a lot of people.
Only for yourself, really. You could have simply taken the request and be done with it in a button click. You chose not to. Intentionally. Instead, you went to argue that, "If you personal dislike with how spec-cleaner is doing something, than you should convience the maintainer of spec-cleaner to change it." –https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/520340 The changes that I made are among what spec-cleaner would have done. You preach spec-cleaner, but you do not practice it. In my humble opinion, this double standard is inappropriate for package maintainers in openSUSE. It is discouraging to (in particular) new developers. (And so, if the submission 519825 is knowingly different from what the developer intended, in other words, that something is missing on purpose, the submit is best returned to the develprj for further refinement.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
