FW> <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:C_and_C%2B%2B> It's certainly a good idea to document those flags, but the packaging guidelines aren't always the best place to document things, and not just because there is bureaucracy involved in getting them changed. In the future those might not even be on the wiki. However, it occurs to me that we do already require specific compilation flags to be used, by way of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Compiler_flags But all we really do is say that you have to respect %optflags and then link out to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:RPMMacros#Build_flags_macros_and_variables (which is probably outdated now). There's also information about %_hardened_build which I'm not sure is accurate right now.

File a ticket at https://pagure.io/packaging-committee and tell us what you think should be in the guidelines. If something in the current guidelines is factually inaccurate, we will get it changed. FW> Can you suggest any alternatives? Well, if you want something that's not part of the packaging guidelines, anyone can make a wiki page (outside of Packaging: and Legal:, of course). - J< _______________________________________________ packaging mailing list -- packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to packaging-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
