If you're willing to go through a new review each release, there's no problem. If you want a single review to cover you for all releases, we need a new Guideline. I think if it's a potential goal to be able to install the Fedora-10-Security-Guide on Fedora-11, then I'd be against such a Guideline as separate packages really are what you want. If it's specifically a non-goal to do that, then it's a possibility although changing the name to not have the version in it strikes me as the better option there. Following onto that, I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to use publican to create an initial spec file and then modify it to meet the specifics of the situation. This is the workflow for CPAN2RPM, rpmdev-newspetemplate, and other tools. Another option is to look at a streamlined set of review items for publican-created doc packages... We've never explicitly done this but in practice, people know they don't have to check, for instance, shared library guidelines when writing and reviewing a pure python module. > and possibly this as well: > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=482972 > What's the problem here? That the .desktop is created inline in the spec file instead of as a separate file? If that's all it is, I can propose to the FPC to amend that. I can't recall a reason that it had to be included in the SRPM as a file specifically. Note that neither of these issues had reached the FPC's radar (they still haven't, really, as I'm only one member and this isn't the packaging mailing list) so blaming the FPC as the roadblock is a bit misplaced. -Toshio
