Hi all, there are some minor issues with: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Patches_guidelines Firstly, it does not document the exact format I should use in the .changes entry. The "Patch life cycle" section says: Any of those stages needs to be mentioned in the .changes file, including the file name of the patch. For example: * Add package-awesomeness.patch: Makes package awesome ... but an example is not sufficient to document a format. It's not clear whether documenting movement through the patch cycle in the .changes file is supposed to be machine-parseable, or just readable by humans. Either way, the requirements for conformity need to be more explicit. It's also unclear how I should add a line # PATCH-FIX-OPENSUSE fix-for-opensuse-specific-things.patch bnc#123456 when there is no bnc entry. If it's OK to omit the bnc# field, the page should say that. Or if it's not, the page should explicitly say that a bugzilla entry should be filed if one doesn't already exist. Finally, the page is entitled 'guidelines', but if non-conformance is grounds for rejecting a submitreq, I think 'guidelines' is too weak and it really should be labelled as a 'policy'. Thanks!
