Hello list, I run into rpmlint error about incorrect fsf address. My solution was report it to upstream and left incorrect address in my packages. I didn't block review of new packages because of it. Some maintainers are blocking reviews and they are patching license file with correct address. What's the correct solution? Could you post it on fedora-devel list?
Rpmlint might offer better explanation or change it to warning: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700095
Thanks for answer, Marcela Mašláňová BaseOS team Brno

Incorrect FSF address is something that should be reported to upstreams. No further action is required of packagers, although, if a maintainer wishes to correct the address with a patch, they are certainly permitted to do so.
