I think, we need to restrict package names to a-z, A-Z, 0-9, -, _ cf.: http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Package_Conventions/RPM_Style#1.5._Name_Tag http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Package 2. I do not agree to the "When Upstream Naming is outside ..." section. This section is unnecessarily/avoidable adding confusion for maintainers. Non-ASCII names have always been banned rsp. technically impossible ever since Linux exists => this is a non-issue. > Perl Guidelines (spot) : > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Perl > InitDir location (spot) : > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/InitDir > Eclipse Plugin Guidelines (spot) : > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/EclipsePlugins > OpenOffice.org extensions guidelines (Caolan McNamara) : > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/OpenOffice.orgExtensions > Secure BuildRoot (Lubomir Kundrak) : > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/SecureBuildRoot > Register VirtualProvides (Patrice Dumas) : > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/ProvidesList > SysV-style Initscript Guidelines (spot) : > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/SysVInitScript > > I don't have the Java Guidelines draft on the list yet, but I hope that > it will be ready by next Tuesday: > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Java > > Next Tuesday will undoubtedly be a longer meeting than normal, so please > be prepared. Friday, Sunday, Monday are public holidays in Germany (Easter). I'll be off next week (vacation) and therefore will likely not be able to attend due to other commitments.
