[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Problem with installing compiled geany (#2044)

> if the .spec is a distro specific thingy it probably should be removed, especially if it confuses other tools

It didn't confuse `checkinstall`, a tool for generating several kinds of packages, it confused a _user_ of `checkinstall` who happened to be using it for Debian instead of Fedora packages. That said, if nobody is using or maintaining this .spec file, [opting to maintain their own downstream instead](https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/geany.git/tree/geany.spec), then removing it would make sense.
