At todays FPC meeting, the FPC approved several guideline changes. = Rationale for Conflicts Guideline = https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/18 6 +1, no 0, no -1. This was purely informational and requires no changes to how you package = Appropriate Content in Changelogs = https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/17 6 +1, no 0, no -1 At fesco's request we explored what content was appropriate for rpm changelogs. Our goal here was to not impose a burden or change on most maintainers while still clarifying what was expected and not expected content in a changelog entry. = Update filtering of Provides and Requires = https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/16 6 +1, no 0, no -1 This change updated both the Auto Provides and Requires Filtering page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering and the perl packaging guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl#Filtering_Requires:_and_Provides There were two changes: 1) Highlight that using Packaging:AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering is a must and packages that are doing filtering in other ways should be migrated to using the filtering described there. 2) Perl packages can use the %{?perl_default_filter} macro. When rpm gains the ability to ignore the perl extensions and docdir the ability exists to unset that macro and all should be well. = Updated java guidelines = https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/13 6 +1, no 0, no -1. The java guidelines have seen some minor updates proposed by a member of the java sig. Most of it was clarification and fixes to the example spec templates. In addition to the guidelines accepted today, the following guidelines were approved at a previous meeting and have now been written into the guidelines: = Bundled library exceptions = https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/8 This update to the bundled libraries policy clarified when an exception might be granted and listed packagelibrary combinations which have been granted exceptions with rationale. Note that this does not cover gupnp-dlna (pending a future meeting) or the recent mozilla talks (unknown how we're going to deal with that). -Toshio
