Can we please get some consistent, agreed-upon, publicly-available rules for how update-alternatives should be implemented? In August there was an extensive thread where we were told repeatedly that the --remove part should go in %preun. All the packages I was working with were in %postun, but I changed them all to %preun as I was told. Now, I have had three packages rejected for putting --remove in %preun, telling me it has to go in %postun instead. Assuming this rejection is even correct, I now have dozens of packages where I have to revert the change I was told to make just a few weeks ago. There are no published policies for update-alternatives. All we have to go on is one extremely simple example that doesn't represent the situation of most packages and we are just supposed to figure out how to apply it to our particular situation. Worse, that example uses %postun for one subpackage and %preun for another with no explanation of which we should use under what situations. We really need some specific, detailed rules and guidelines for exactly how we need to implement update-alternatives. Rejecting packages for complying with instructions in the mailing list is a huge waste of everyones' time. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
