I have several projects that include bash-completions, and am trying
to get a new one through package review. The reviewer has raised a
question about whether the package should own:
%dir %{_datadir}/bash-completion/completions
My existing projects have basically cargo-culted the bash-completion
packaging, so I thought I would see if there are official guidelines,
but I'm not finding anything. Do we have guidelines?
Certainly:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_file_and_directory_ownership
But the short answer is that you either have to co-own it or you
to require a package (presumably bash-completion in this case) which
owns it. This case would appear to fall into :
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_the_directory_is_owned_by_a_package_which_is_not_required_for_your_package_to_function
Because you don't need bash, you're just providing an extension for
it for people that do use it.
In that case co-ownership is recommended unless there is a filesystem
package you can require to get the directory, which there isn't in this
case.
