Since I really like to keep my stuff (OBS packages) also working for this old (well, SLE 11 is actually still the most up2date enterprise distro of us) rpms, I like to request to drop the Group removeing for now.
Or to add %if %suse_version around it so it is only active on old distro.
BAH, that's the worst option of all.
Otherwise people will find workarounds to not use the formater at all anymore ...
I wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to have the build script run a spec file patcher - either distribution specific or in general - after all the duplicated group does not really harm in the spec file.
But with this logic we will keep support for old rpms in our factory spec files forever. So this spec file patcher could also add a buildroot or even a default %clean section - right before building without us having to carry those forever in the sources.
That sounds backward - the master copy will still have those "old" stuff then.
I've understood the master copy is the cleaned factory one but buildroot and stuff will be added on the fly before building on distros where it's needed.
Nobody looks at the packaged srpms.
SRPMs may still be usefull for people who not use OBS but want to recompile packages against their local customized systems. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
