Policy is decided later based on the tags. I don't put policy inside of the packages.

But you won't be able to do that with a generic X-Fedora-Extra tag that matches 95% of your packages. You have to have descriptive tags to base a policy on, what else do you have ? But as Paul said, maybe this discussion belongs to freedesktop.org. The question remains, what is the use of X-Fedora-Extra if all packages are tagged with it. -- dag wieers, dag@xxxxxxxxxx, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
