gitignore lists *.spec

[Chris Giard]

The included .gitignore in the percona-server 5.7 build has a line "*.spec", which means someone trying to checkin a copy of the percona-server source will be missing the spec file required to build the RPMs. That line should be removed from the file.

Hi Chris.

It means that it wouldn't be possible to put *.spec file into root dir. But as you might know the *.spec is placed into `build-ps` dir so there shouldn't be any issues.

Because it doesn't have a path specifier in it, "*.spec" applies to files in all directories in the repo, not just the root. To restrict it to the root you need to put "/*.spec"

The upstream is using ".spec.in" files in their packaging directory which are spec templates from which they generate ".spec" files with cmake. So I don't think it is an upstream issue. Since we are not using those templates currently we can remove it, but if we start using it at some point we should re-add this.

This looks like an upstream bug and should be reported there too.

I see, thank you
