Same thing happened in the early Cython days [0] and was discovered recently that the change never propagated to the rpm package.

I also feel like it's not great to change a project's license without changing its major version too (this change was done in a .z release!) - the license is a kind of API in itself. I'm glad I ran a git diff on the two versions or I'd have missed it! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
