True, and I haven't claimed the opposite. You need to slow down, IMO, as it seems you've misunderstood me completely. It's really just that whereas some packagers have removed /usr/bin/env from their packages, others have refused to do that, and neither the Review Guidelines nor the Packaging Guidelines contain anything about removing /usr/bin/env. In various reviews that would make it more difficult to convince package submitters, and some would argue endlessly about wanting to keep /usr/bin/env. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
