Perhaps I simply missed it, but I don't believe I've seen any response to my previous message and I'd really like to get a bit of clarification before I go poking around in the guidelines without fully understanding the issue. Also, a question came up on the devel list regarding whether javadoc packages must have a dependency on the main package, which is shown in the templates but not addressed in the guideline. If I could get an answer to that as well, I'll go ahead and draft an update. My message from last week is included below in case it was somehow dropped by the list software. >>>>> "AO" == Andrew Overholt <overholt@xxxxxxxxxx> writes: AO> Let's make it a "use it if you want to" thing. In that case, we still need to indicate some basic positives and negatives of using it, at least so that people who think "it's cool to include everything in my packages" won't go ahead and do it without an understanding of the downsides. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:GCJGuidelines has the current guidelines. We can obviously remove the caution box for Fedora 8 at this point, but the first two paragraphs should be rewritten. While we're in there, could you also verify that the rest of the GCJGuidelines page are correct? Anything else you'd like to add or change in the main http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java guideline page? Finally, what might EPEL (RHEL4 and RHEL5) need to do regarding GCJ? I suppose they still need to use it, and will need an indication of that in their guidelines. - J< -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
