 At least for avocado, yes, I manually rebuilt it.

I created https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8887 last year to clean up a bunch
of obsolete module stream branches, but it's still on the back burner.

RPM spec style

2018-05-11 Thread Merlin Mathesius
Greetings.

I'd like a quick opinion on spec file style...

Nearly all specs I've seen dealing with subpackages group all the
%package/%description stanzas near the beginning, and put all the %files
stanzas near the the end. (Example 1 below)

However, are there any reasons, stylistic or otherwise, that the %files
stanzas shouldn't be grouped with their corresponding
%package/%description stanzas? (Example 2 below) Especially when there
are a large number of subpackages...

Thanks.

Regards,

Merlin


Example 1:

... preable ...

%description

%package server
%description server

%package client
%description client

%package lib
%description lib

%prep

%build

%install

%files

%files server

%files client

%files lib

%changelog
...


Example 2:

... preable ...

%description
%files

%package server
%description server
%files server

%package client
%description client
%files client

%package lib
%description lib
%files lib

%prep

%build

%install

%changelog
...
