[opensuse-packaging] Packager: rpm tag
While cleaning up the libqca2 package according to rpmlint checks using osc build, I got a warning that there are no Packager: tags in the packages. After adding a Packager tag, I got a warning that I should not hardcode Packager: becauser "rebuilder cannot change it". What's the correct behaviour here? 1) Is this rpmlint check spurious, eg since packages in the distro seem to have a Packager tag of http://bugs.opensuse.org that was added automatically? 2) Or is there a correct Packager tag using some macro that is automatically filled for packages that are only in the public Build Service? The fedora packaging guidelines (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines) discourage the use of Packager. I'll add this info to our guidelines once I know how to do it right.

Build Service adds Packager tag automatically, there is no need to explicitly state it.

IIRC, there was a bug that caused that warning. It's fixed in Factory. -- Regards, Nikolay Derkach --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Sadly this it not the case. :/

the warning about the empty packager tag got disabled in factory but we need to apply the same fix to 11.0. adrian any time frame for this? darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Did you file a bugreport about it btw like discussed?

I think implementing Packager: handling in OBS (at least optionally) is the right way to go, we need it anyway for the internal build transition.
