Back in June we had some discussion about directory ownership of /usr/share/gtk-doc(/html) that was caused by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=604169 While there was no consensus on the mailing list and most people suggested to close this bug, things look different in the wiki now. Spot made a draft at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Revised_File_and_Directory_Ownership and it seems like this draft has become part of the packaging guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Packaging%3AGuidelines&diff=157103&oldid=157099 This raises a couple of questions for me: 1. (When) Was this ratified by the packaging committee? I don't see anything on the lists, the wiki or in the meetbot archives 2. If it was ratified, was it announced? It is a major change in the guidelines that every packager must be aware of. 3. Is this proposal been backed up by the RPM devs? AFAIR there were problems with left over directories when the packages were uninstalled in a single transaction but in the wrong order. Not sure if it still applies.
