This is a project that contains config files and rules for running rpminspect on Fedora builds. It is a package containing distribution policy.

I created these rules files in the data package for rpminspect so that different vendors can customize how rpminspect runs and reacts to findings.

Syncing the creation of new dist tag files in rpminspect-data-fedora could be aligned with creating them in koji, etc. QE and rel-eng don't specifically have to own doing that work, just making sure it has been taken care of by one of the rpminspect-data-fedora stewards. Right now package maintainers can control how rpminspect runs with a local rpminspect config file in the dist-git repo. However, some things cannot be overridden with that config file so those changes have to be made in the vendor data package. So having someone review those changes and collectively sign off on them is also a good idea for process control. (An example of something that has to be in the vendor data package and cannot be in the local package's rpminspect config file is an executable that needs to carry setuid or setgid bits.) -- David Cantrell <dcantrell@xxxxxxxxxx> Red Hat, Inc. | Boston, MA | EST5EDT -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
