Hi, I would like to request an adjustment to the extras wiki for
packaging guidelines. Specifically I found it time consuming to find the
key information on how to actually set up my machine to start developing
packages. Here is a draft:
Any comments ? (I included a diff if it's OK to go.)
I like the text, but I think a better place for this is, since it is not a
guideline and probably only interesting for new maintainers:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Contributors#head-13142b777abfa0f7ab40a339923ad34f5bba40ce
And maybe this page can be renamed to maintainer because it seems to me that
maintainers are only on kind of contributors. Peoply who report bugs or
translate stuff are contributors, too, for example.
OK, I agree it fits better on the contributors page, probably at the end
of the Make a Package section. Also, Extras/MainPagePackaging
I'm still thinking that the Packaging/Guidelines could specifically
mention the Contributors page, since people should be informed that it
exists, and should probably be referring to it during package
development. It would then become a one liner section.
Perhaps this is against the grain of the "solid as brick"
PackagingGuidelines notion ? But if I am creating a package I think it
wise for the PG to direct me to the 'how' as well ? {increased
productivity, standardized way of doing things}
ps. If there is no further comment within a few days, I'll update the
editable pages, or should I just do it anyway, and let the changes be
reviewed through any adjustments/correction being made through other
people edits ?
