According to the fate, dropping them for SLE-15sp2 is fine
It would be naive to think that just because we release SLE15 SP2 (which is still months away), we can forget about earlier service packs.
Yes but the work flow is different, for many packages this removal could happen now at the maintainers discretion because the spec file as it is in factory will never be copied directly into a maintenance update.
This is not true. Quite some of the packages I maintain are kept in a way to be reused everywhere and this also happens for maintenance updates.
Yeah, me too. Those cleanups are really annoying in that light since they make packages not build on SLE anymore (for example removing BuildRoot breaks build on SLE11, removing defattr breaks build on SLE12).
This can actually be fixed with a custom macros package injected into the buildroot. That's how we avoided these problems with EL5 in Fedora EPEL. The defattr thing is just part of SLE's broken rpmlint policy. SLE 12 rpm is fine with no %defattr settings.
If it's called Factory-first then we should live to that promise and make Factory packages accepted (by checkers, linters and syntax-wise) by products we still need to maintain (for example by updating those checkers, linters and rpm).
Fix the broken policies that enforce rules that haven't been needed since RHEL 4 / SLE 10, then. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
