Here are the list of this week's changes to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines: The FPC has taken over evaluating exceptions to the Bundled Library Guidelines. A list of standard questions to be answered to give the FPC information on whether to grant exceptions has been added to the Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries#Standard_questions --- An exception was added to the Guidelines concerning use of %{_sourcedir}, specifically, when there is an available list of supplementary source files, it is permissible to use this list in conjunction with %{sourcedir} to simplify operations on those supplementary source files. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:RPM_Source_Dir --- rpm %post and %postun scripts have been added for the following important pieces of GNOME3 technology: GSettings, gdk-pixbuf loaders, GTK3 modules, and GIO modules: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#GSettings_Schema https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#gdk- pixbuf_loaders https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#GTK.2B_modules https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#GIO_modules --- These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee (FPC). Many thanks to Kevin Kofler, Matthias Clasen, FESCo and all of the members of the FPC, for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines. As a reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If you find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Committee#GuidelineChangeProcedure Thanks, ~spot -- announce mailing list announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/announce
