Updating the applications and launchers policy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Currently we have the following as a final blocker criterion:

"All applications installed by default in Fedora Workstation must comply with each MUST and MUST NOT guideline in the Applications and Launchers policy."

That policy is: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Guidelines/Applications_and_Launchers

We recently noticed that we don't have an available blocker criterion to deal with issues where an application unexpectedly appears in the default install. In particular, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1449752 which has prompted this. We want the blivet-gui package maintainers to either create a subpackage for its desktop file, or otherwise figure something out to prevent blivet-gui from appearing as an application in our default install. The package maintainers do not want to do this, so we want a blocker criterion to force a resolution. I see two easy solutions here:

 * We could add a new blocker criterion that explicitly says the Workstation WG gets to decide which applications are installed by default.
 * We could add that as a MUST guideline to our applications and launchers policy, since there is already a blocker criterion that covers that.

I'm planning to do the later and then propose this blivet-gui bug as a blocker. Is the QA team OK with this course of action? Do you prefer to just add a new criterion?

Michael
