Meeting minutes and full logs of the packaging meeting which occurred on 2007-03-13 are online: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Minutes http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Minutes20070313 Executive summary: The following drafts are now official guidelines, having been accepted by FESCO last week: * Firmware Packaging guidelines: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2007-February/msg00292.html * Disallowing %config files under /usr: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/UsrConfigs They should be written into the guidelines soon, if that hasn't already been done. Issues pending FESCO ratification: * Codifying when it is safe for the various phases of the RPM build process to write to various directories (8 yea, 1 nay): http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDraft/ScriptletsWriteDirs * Prepping BuildRoot for %install (8 yea, 1 nay): http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/BuildRootHandling Misc business: * Guidelines for packaging Ruby Gems: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/RubyGems Please provide insight on this; there are a number of packages queued up awaiting guidelines, including Rails. * Modifying the Perl specfile template to include BuildRequires: perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker) to cope with the perl-devel split. Please see the minutes and IRC log for complete information. Note that I have combined the minutes and IRC log together to see how it looks, but I don't think I will use it in the future because it wiki interface just makes it too annoying to edit. (It takes 30 seconds to load the preview, for example.) This message contains official notice of changes to the guidelines, but I'm concerned that it's not sufficiently prominent (and doesn't include the actual text of changes). I have considered sending separate announcements for each change which is written into the guidelines (or asking the driver of each change to do so). Would it be better to do that, or is this message sufficient? - J< -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
