There's other fields for that (packager).
I think you are misreading the documentation. The Apache project is not writing the spec file for the package built in The Fedora repos. It is not building the package, testing it, and tracking updates. They should not receive bug reports on issues with how httpd is packaged in Fedora. Perhaps if they were to do all of the above, and you were getting those packages from an Apache Project yum repository, you would expect to see the vendor tag set to the Apache Project. -- Jonathan Billings -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
