Product: Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=871092 Michael Schwendt <mschwendt@xxxxxxxxx> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC|mschwendt@xxxxxxxxx | --- Comment #25 from Michael Schwendt <mschwendt@xxxxxxxxx> --- > We linked the Packaging Guidelines on various occasions and rpm[lint] > is part of these guidelines. Many other things are part of the guidelines but unrelated to this package. Links into the main Packaging Guidelines page are something very different from the much more specific Review Guidelines page. That list contains individual MUST/SHOULD items. It's a list of _specific tasks_, with rpmlint being the first one as it catches many errors. Sure, one can try to continue with "hidden hints" and silently expect a new packager to read the full guidelines and its subpages. Or abstain from giving hints (comment 13 and comment 14). That can get tedious for both parties involved. The package contributor is expected to have checked the package already anyway: | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Review_Process#Contributor | | As a Contributor, you should have already made a package | which adheres to the Package Naming Guidelines and Packaging Guidelines. If that lead to all new contributors submitting packages without errors, the review process would be very different or even non-existant. > I *did* advise Benedikt to use the checklist. I refer to this ticket only where that hasn't happened. It may be that you guide Benedikt elsewhere, too, but the submitter in this ticket should become familiar with the Review Guidelines, too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
