drupal7 packages in Fedora.
Awesome!

to track down a bunch of sub-modules and which packages were providing
them. I think virtual provides for sub-modules is something we could
really use -- and the rest would be fantastic, if we can make it work
automagically.
Automagically is what I am going for. For example, here are core's auto-provides: http://pastebin.com/X86AsgVM

libraries. We may also want to revisit the latest proposed _javascript_
packaging guidelines and make sure that all the new Drupal 8 packages
follow them.
Thanks! Libraries were one of those things I knew we needed to look into.
Yes, we definitely need to look into the latest _javascript_ packaging guidelines. Speaking of that, I only see mention of using Apache HTTPD specifically (if I'm looking at the correct draft). I wonder if there will be a notion of "any" web server for packages and not tied specifically to Apache -- for example, a package like dojo would provide the source itself while sub-packages like dojo-httpd and dojo-nginx would provide specific web server requires and configs. I know Remi has done this for at least one package [1][2]. I was thinking we may want to do the same type thing for Drupal 8 for httpd and nginx.
