Quoting Andreas Jaeger
I've added now a README.packaging.txt to the packages aaa_base and rpmlint to point out which files are unter version control and how to update.
If you have a package that is basically maintained in a version control system, I suggest you add some information for packagers in a similar way.
I like having a documentation, but as packager, have to admit that I am likely not to read the README in a source tree, unless a reference to it is given in the .spec. Typical locations for such references are: - Close to the version tag (especially when it's about version updates.. then "osc diff" shows that line too) - Between Source: and Patch: tags. For the case of aaa_base, where it's about adding patches, After Source: before Patch: is likely the best point, as it mainly guarantees that the packager will see it when adding the patch line (it does not guarantee though he will read it or even understand it).
