Meeting minutes and full logs of the packaging committee meeting which occurred on 2007-05-29 are online: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Minutes http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Minutes20070529 Executive summary: The following drafts are now official guidelines, having been accepted by FESCO last week: * Tweaks to static library packaging guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/StaticLibraryChanges This should be written into the guidelines soon if it hasn't already been done by the time you read this. No issues pending FESCO ratification this week. Misc business: * Guidelines for adding Users and Groups * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/UsersAndGroups * Serious fundamental issues exist in rpm that prevent any reliable handling of users and groups inside rpm scriptlets. For instance, %pre cannot be allowed to fail, because it seems that it is not possible to abort an RPM transaction. * Clever ideas working around the tough problems would be warmly welcomed. * Fix incorrect information in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets * http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2007-May/msg00116.html * scop will draft up various changes. * Including in binary packages test suite code that upstream does not install. * There are multiple issues: including things as %doc and actually packaging test binaries in /usr/bin. * There is little committee consensus on this; some members don't care what gets packaged as %doc, some don't want any test suite code packaged at all. * Community opinions are solicited here. * If someone feels strongly enough about the issue, please write up a draft. - 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
