Spot's comment lets me think this doesn't apply. I am treating this very much as a compromise with limited scope aiming at assisting in the integration and compatibility with 3rd party repositories. However, in order to limit the scope, it is currently only valid for JPackage. If another repo comes forward which would wish to leverage the same guideline set, I'm more than willing to amend it for them. ~spot -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
