Ok, regardless of the unified or broken out git issue, I think this
package is ready to be included. Here are a few questions on the spec
file:
- Is there a reason the Requires: list files instead of their respective
packages?
- coreutils is probably not needed as a requires since everything
requires it. No harm in it being there though
- Is the Obsoletes: git needed? In my limited knowledge, I'm just
wondering if this will cause upgrade problems when/if cogito and git are
split into separate packages in the future.
Other than that, I see no problems. I look forward to using it :).
