You are right: Not everybody on this list is interested in all |

technical details, so it is perhaps better to shift this discussion |

to the forums. I have opened the topic |

with a summary of the various suggestions (and a very rough sketch |
12 |
of their advantages/disadvantages). |

The problem I meant is that repoman is no able to check it: |
18 |
It can be completely reasonable that the value of that metadata |
19 |
variable is unchanged, that is, repoman should not even spit a |
20 |
warning in this case. |
21 |
Unless one "adds" an artificial mechanism (like encoding the revision |
22 |
into the variable name or variable content) which *forces* the |
23 |
maintainer to change/check that variable. |
24 |
But any such mechanism I can think of is inconvenient and |
25 |
possibly confusing. |
