This has been discussed many many times. The packaging guidelines have been updated to say globs "SHOULD NOT" be used [1], and I think there is a broad agreement that this is a good thing. Unfortunately many packages still use this pattern.
I think we need a hero (or a small team of heroes) to
- download the all-specs.tar.xz file and grep for the any spec files
that have globs
We should probably have a link to that someplace very visible (e.g. in the packaging guidelines)?
I just realized I forgot to bookmark it, and I can't remember where to get it from now.
