Just to puree the horse further: I never said that. I do believe that the most valuable URL that an rpm could point to would in fact be procedurally generated, probably to something persistent like what's on packages.debian.org, thus simultaneously solving the problems of build recipe being intermingled with user metadata and eventually-stale URLs forever burned into the rpm once built. But, as with the original point about %check, the thing I'm fundamentally irritated about is the apparent inability to distinguish how things are from how they ought to be. In both cases it seems the things we ought to be doing are ignored because they're not what's currently in front of us. %check is a toy, but because it's there we don't work on a test setup that's any good. URL is haphazard at best, but because it's currently manual we don't work on the automation that would make it reliably useful. I expect better. - ajax -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
