Sometimes I really have to cringe at some specfiles and wonder how they got through the opensuse factory review team. I do not want to say openSUSE is the sloppiest distros of all, but claiming openSUSE has too high a specfile standard is just untrue.
Personally two things annoying me:
1. Some reviewers insist on adding a lot of lines to .changes files claiming that there are common practices to do so. But many packages do this differently. And personally I think it's plain wrong to add all upstream changes to fit into .changes when simply updating to a new upstream release.
+1 if someone is really interested in details, reading the changelog upstream should be sufficient.
-1 That requires a user to download the upstream package independently just because the packaging process has intentionally truncated or abridged the information - "updated from upstream" is about as useful as the "fixed some bugs" message popular on some mobile appstores. Or am I misunderstanding how an end-user is supposed to inspect/query what has changed in a pre-built package using the tools provided by the package manager?
