I'm not quite sure why pulling in an additional supplemental
dependency would be considered a breaking change. Is it because
rpmlint behaves differently with the new license definitions?
Yes. Suppose I am running a Fedora 36 system with rpmlint installed
and I use it to validate spec files for RHEL 9. When I install
rpmlint-fedora-license-data, a huge bulk of licenses that were not
valid when I started to use Fedora 36 and that are not valid for
RHEL 9 are suddenly valid.
This issue sounds like it'd be better solved by using RHEL 9 for the
checks. Or the rather more complicated solution of creating a new
‘rpmlint --release=rhel-9’ flag.
I don't disagree. I've just said that for the current users of Fedora 35/36 who
decided to use Fedora this way, adding a strict dependency on
rpmlint-fedora-license-data might be disturbing, which is I've only made it a
weak one.
