Hey guys, It's come to my attention that we don't have a "Packages must be built from source, no precompiled binaries" rule in the current guidelines. I think this is an oversight as the Binary Firmware section: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#BinaryFirmware implies this for the specific case of firmware. How about something like: "Packages must be built from source code. Including pre-built programs or libraries is strictly forbidden. A select few exceptions are made for binary firmware. Please see http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#BinaryFirmware for details." And on ReviewGuidelines: "Must: The package must be built from source. No pre-built programs or libraries are acceptable." Thoughts, opinions welcome. -Toshio
