Over the last month, the Fedora Packaging Committee has been busy adding and amending the Fedora Packaging Guidelines. Specifically: New guidelines describing how to package OpenOffice.org extensions can be found here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/OpenOffice.orgExtensions New guidelines describing how to package Tcl/Tk addons can be found here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Tcl The OCaml Packaging Guidelines have been updated: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/OCaml The Perl Packaging Guidelines have been significantly fleshed out: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Perl The Fedora Package Naming Guidelines have been updated to reflect the new guidelines for package naming (OpenOffice.org and Tcl/Tk). In addition, all Fedora packages must be named using a specified subset of ASCII characters. For details, please see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines Also, the main Fedora Packaging Guidelines have been updated with links to the new guidelines for specific package types (OpenOffice.org, Tcl/Tk): http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee (FPC) and ratified by FESCo. Many thanks to Caolan McNamara, Michael Thomas, Richard Jones, and all of the members of the FPC and FESCo, for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines. A reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If you find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Committee#GuidelineChangeProcedure Thanks, ~spot _______________________________________________ Fedora-devel-announce mailing list Fedora-devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-announce -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
