The following are a set of simple guidelines for the update descriptions
via bodhi (which is used by PackageKit to inform users of what has
changed). These guidelines are intended to help end users understand the
nature of changes in the update better. Bodhi is not used in rawhide, so
these guidelines are not applicable for rawhide updates. Note that this
is not connected to the rpm changelog.
I have tried to summarize what has been suggested in a couple of earlier
threads. If there is anything else that needed to be added, do let me
know. If there is FESCo approval and general consensus, we can add this to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/MaintainerResponsibility
and add a reference to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/UpdatingPackageHowTo#Submit_your_update_to_Bodhi
Don't we have way to many guidelines and policies already?
At least I think we have way to many of them already. That makes
contributing to Fedora (and especially starting to contribute) harder
and harder -- especially as finding, reading, understanding and
remembering all the different rules and guidelines (and follow their
changes) gets next to impossible afaics.
Let's please stop this path -- let's make things easier again instead of
regulating each and every detail.
Note that I don't disagree with the text that was proposed. My 2 cent:
Put it as text into the wiki somewhere, write "best practices" ontop of
it (avoid the words "rules" and "guidlines") and add a link to the bodhi
ui ("best practices for filing this box with information").
