+
+This is a waste of time, cpu cycles and HD space. A dot at the end of
+the summary isn't going to kill the package, cause the user's CPU to
+explode or cause an eclipse.
+
+There're much more horrible things in packages, a package doesn't get
+rejected when there's no:
+- defattr macro for a sub-package
+- a typo in the used defattr (e.g. gnome-python-desktop)
+- with unversioned obsoletes or provides
+
+BUT is rejected:
+- when there's a dot at the end of a summary
+
+
+This is not logical, and doesn't make one iota of sense, to me at least.
+
+Another issue, this is a new change, i.e. it doesn't exist in mdv?
+because when I run rpmlint on the src.rpm locally this issue isn't
+detected.
+
+Last thing, clicking any &quot;rejected&quot; link in pkgsubmit.mageia.org gives
+a &quot;wrong link&quot; error (I had to dig in
+<A HREF="http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/uploads/rejected/cauldron/core/release">http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/uploads/rejected/cauldron/core/release</A>
+manually to get the log).
