Hi Fedorans!

The Fedora Packaging Committee has made some updates to the Fedora
Packaging Guidelines. All of these changes were approved by the Fedora
Packaging Committee and ratified by FESCo.

Specifically:

* There are now language specific guidelines for Haskell and Lisp
See: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Haskell
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Lisp      

* The Packaging/Guidelines have new sections covering:
- Noting Patch Upstream Status
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#All_patches_should_have_an_upstream_bug_link_or_comment
- Bundling multiple upstream items in a single package
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Bundling_of_multiple_projects
- Avoiding font bundling
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Avoid_bundling_of_fonts_in_other_packages

In addition, the Desktop files section has been updated to reflect the
permitted usage of desktop-file-install:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Desktop_files

Thanks to everyone who helped in the process of amending the Fedora
Guidelines.
