</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Hi there,
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; I just imported the RPM Spec File Syntax page in the wiki.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; It&#8217;s located here: <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=spec_syntax">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=spec_syntax</A>
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Please review this page as it&#8217;s one of the most important one for the
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; beginning of the mentoring process, with the RPM Howto page (yet to be
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; imported).
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Some comments on this page:
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; - Patch naming:
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; I&#8217;m not sure we should go that far for the patch naming policy, and in
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; practice it&#8217;s not what I&#8217;ve seen up till now.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Here&#8217;s a proposal:
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Patches must be named in a very explicit manner to make it very clear to
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; what version it was originally applied. To that end, a patch needs to
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; follow the convention of
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; [package_name]-[version]-[description].patch:
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &#160;* [package_name] is the name of the package it applies against, such
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &#160;as 'shadow-utils' or 'gnupg'
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &#160;* [version] is the version of the program this patch was developed
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &#160;against, such as 1.0. The name of the patch should not change,
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I don't agree, if you rediff the patch against version 2.0 the the
</I>&gt;<i> version in the patch name should change; one reason is, it can't be
</I>&gt;<i> applied to version 1.0 any more without restoring the old patch from
</I>&gt;<i> an older SVN rev. or rediffing it again.
</I>
But that mean we lose history of svn ?
