Ismael was asking what current packages he should look at for guidance and suggesting zarafa, xinha and wordpress; he wasn't proposing to package them. In addition to all that's been mentioned so far, I'd actually recommend a quick look at the Mandriva web app policy: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Web_Applications . Obviously it doesn't apply in its entirety to Fedora, but a lot of it does, it's well-written and gives a good overview of the theory behind packaging web apps properly. Maybe we should even adapt it for Fedora. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
