Re: spec file rewrite on local rebuilds deliberately removes comments

Hi,

building https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:frispete:test/freerdp locally with osc, I noticed a very unpleasant behavior. The spec file rewriter removed all lines of the third comment on top of this file. In fact, anything commented out in this area deliberately gets removed.

Is this on purpose?

I guess, the spec is piped through spec-cleaner, and it even removes this:

#nospeccleaner

If you install spec-cleaner-format_spec_file, format_spec_file is replaced by spec-cleaner's minimal mode. If you didn't, it's still the default format_spec_file - which doesn't care for spec cleaner comments. Greetings, Stephan
