[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Discussion: spec tag order and side-effects (#1161)

[Panu Matilainen]

> I can not leave the specs “alone”. There are lots of packagers involved. I can not forbid them to set sourcedir (as has been documented since forever), and I can not forbid them to add patches to their spec files, using %{name} as is the Fedora best practice, which breaks instantaneously (as evidenced by the dejavu case).

They've managed just fine for about a year. I'm quite confident they'll manage in the future too. The dejavu-patch was added by yourself, others haven't had any issues with this.

There's quite clearly some profound misunderstanding here (this got derailed very early on) about the nature of the change and when it happened, and I'm clearly not able to communicate this in a way that gets the message through. I give up now. Others are free to try.
