Rich text READMEs result in messy %descriptions

Open mythi opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Rich text READMEs in github that start with badges links to CI/etc. checks result in %descriptions that contain URL syntax to those badges.

Seen with, e.g., https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tss/

A solution for badges was explored, but due to the many different formats used we ended up providing a way to override the detected summary via a configuration file. More info can be found in https://github.com/clearlinux/autospec/issues/34 and https://github.com/clearlinux/autospec/pull/81

Also in the README: https://github.com/clearlinux/autospec/blame/master/README.rst#L338

Closing as we have a solution.

After I implemented support for a description file, I still think this work is needed. It is on my TODO list.

I'm using make autospecnew. AFAICS the override is not an option with it.
