As approved by FESCO today, the following change to the Fedora Extras Packaging and Review Guidelines is now in effect: MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages. The rule of thumb here is that the first package to be installed should own the files or directories that other packages may rely upon. This means, for example, that no package in Fedora Extras should ever share ownership with any of the files or directories owned by the filesystem or man package. If you feel that you have a good reason to own a file or directory that another package owns, then please present that at package review time. This is a policy that has been enforced for sometime, but never actually added to the guidelines (until now).
