That FAQ addresses just use of JPackage repos on Fedora, but doesn't deal with packaging and mixing. While it *should* be compatible, we don't do any testing and it's quite possible there will be problems. I guarantee that if you take any spec file from JPackage, it will not pass package review if we take current guidelines into consideration. It will be a good start, but it will certainly need work. > > Should I check with maintainer if package can be "moved" to Fedora ?
