been told by the bot, that selinux-flex has a binary (selinux-flex/flex- arch.patch.gz), which is a gziped patch. Guess I can ungzip it, though as this package is just a copy of a [core] package from some time ago, I guess the original maintainers new, what they were doing, if they included it this way. So should I do it to not include evil gziped patches?
Evil is such a strong word. It is just without benefit. Disturbs the transparency of things. Technically against the rules.
Zipped patches was an edge case. Here, I chose to take a strict interpritation of the edge cases. It is only a comment after all, very little of consequence. Besides, Arch tries hard to not patch things :-)
But thank you for taking the time to read and respond. So many maintainers ignore comments.

If the patch is large then what's the problem with compressing it?
