Description Ville Skyttä 2013-08-06 14:18:54 UTC
stow was identified as a package possibly needing maintainer attention
due to the F-20 unversioned doc dir change. The identification is not
foolproof, it is basically this grep:

    grep -E "(/doc|_docdir|_defaultdocdir).+version" *.spec

Please review your package and make the appropriate changes, if any. A
good starting point is checking the lines output by the above grep for
your specfile. For the vast majority of packages, after the changes,
the expected outcome is that documentation dirs in /usr/share/doc
should no longer contain the package version.

Added - thanks for the kind offer!

Stow is generally unexciting to maintain (and that's a good thing!) - so the changelogs are dominated by spec bumps due to mass rebuilds; as such, when porting changes to older releases or EPEL, please use cherry-pick -x so the originating commit ID is identified.

Should we branch for EPEL 7 too? not sure if it has stow as part of the base OS or not

I usually do merge.

According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/epel7, no.

After all, I want to back port a patch to the Fedora version:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/stow.git/patch/?id=67936bd7de13713a38d11880f685f6187c408dc4
to fix a bug when an error messages going to be printed.
