Hi Tom, I noticed that for example in R-assertthat you have used the bcond: %bcond_with check would not it be better to use bootstrap instead to take advantage of: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#bootstrapping I am asking for curiosity since from now on we will need to do this dance once a year for the releases that we deem worth (I would expect that to be rawhide and the latest stable). Forgive me if the question does not make sense since I am still trying to make sense of this maze. :-)
I used bcond locally and wrongly assumed that fedpkg build would support --with BCOND and --without BCOND. Instead, the way to activate it is to change to "%bcond_with check" and then revert to "%bcond_without check". The only difference with bootstrap is that "bootstrap" is recognized and a suffix ~bootstrap can be added automatically to the resulting build. So the question is whether we want that suffix or not.
