Just a recomendation and two minor bits: o static uids/gids: They are covered, but there are semantically two typed of them: such that the Fedora project globally wants to define and such that a site admin may want to define. Both go through "setup", but we should mention what steps a packager needs to undertake if he want to officially register a uid/gid (while at the same time discouraging registring static id for the registration's sake only). Maybe something like "If you think that your package really requires allocation of global static uids/gids (because you need to hardwire these values into the binaries) then contact <the maintainer of "setup"? the fpc? fesco?> and ask for such an allocation. Only very few packages require a global static uid/gid, so verify that you indeed need one before contacting <>". o /srv/PACKAGE: We don't want to suggest to packagers to put anything under /srv as this is up to the admin to specify the layout. While one needs to admit that this may still be controversial within Fedora it's safer to not mention it. o /usr/sbin -> %{_sbindir} just as an educational measure? (Perhaps even rpmlint will cry if it's hardcoded?) Other than that (and even with that): +1 -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
