I was working on bug 452636 ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452636 ), and reached an impasse.
One of my last reviews (from Joe Orton) said:
non-formal review:
is bad - do upstream not provide versioned URLs?
Unfortunately, they do not.
upstream should be educated then ;)
You'll need to work around that and version the tarball manually, I think this is covered in the wiki somewhere.
Well, I've (a) tried to get the owners to rename the tarball with an embedded version number, so far without success, and (b) went looking through the maintainers wiki on how to handle cases where the tarball isn't versioned (and it must be done manually) but didn't find it.
Can someone point me in the correct direction?
Thanks,
