Hiyas, currently the RPM Tags section in the Packaging Guidelines[0] contains a blacklist of some RPM Tags: * Packager * Vendor * Copyright * PreReq Except for the Copyright tag, they all should not be used. I want to propose to change this to to a whitelist of RPM Tags that are allowed to be used and mention only explanations about their substitutions or reasons why they must not be used in the Guidelines. As the previous sentence implicates, I also want to change it to forbid these tags completely (must not) or there should be some information added, when it is ok to use them in Fedora. E.g. when is it ok to use PreReq or Packager in the Spec? The guidelines do not answer this question, therefore it would be easier to just forbid these tags for easier understanding of the guidelines. If there is a reason to use these tags in the future, the guidelines can be adapted anyways. The reason why I spotted this, is because a spec posted for review does contain a tag called "Distribution" and the Guidelines do not provide any guidance about how to proceed. I assume that it must not be used either. Regards Till [0] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Tags
