revised Haskell Packaging Guidelines
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Haskell At the end of January I reopened the Haskell Packaging Guidelines revision ticket https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/194 with the information requested that year and a few more updates and improvements. I had naively assumed that FPC would pickup the reopened ticket but since nothing has happened yet I thought I better post a heads-up mail here to announce the latest proposed revision. Jens

Packaging guidelines for packaging Cron Jobs in the distribution
by Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

Greetings I have been looking into cron jobs in the distribution and I noticed that there dont seem to be any packaging guidelines for packaging cron jobs in the distribution. More or less every package that ships cron jobs does not require Cronie which arguably it should, however only few packages actually strictly need cron ( logwatch,leafnote etc ) while the majority of them are more or less small administration task that can be triggered manually by the user/administrator thus not strictly required by the component. Before I start providing patches to fix this I need to know what is the correct way to move forward as in... Should the requirement on Cronie be added to the spec file? or Should those cron-jobs be package in a separate sub package which would depend on Cronie? Thanks JBG

[Guidelines Change] Changes to the Packaging Guidelines
by Tom Callaway 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

Some more changes to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines have been made: --- The Packaging Guidelines covering Desktop files have been amended to say that for Fedora 19 and beyond, the vendor tag must not be used. If it was being used in a previous release, it may continue to be used for that previous release, but must be removed in Fedora 19. New packages must not add the vendor tag for any release. Packagers are reminded that they must not change the name of the desktop file in a stable Fedora release. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#desktop-file-install_us… --- The Ruby Guidelines have been updated to prepare for JRuby integration in Fedora (and new macros to assist in this). https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Ruby --- The Java Guidelines have been changed to reflect BuildRequires: maven-local (instead of maven). https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java#maven_3 --- These guideline changes were approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee (FPC). Many thanks to Bohuslav Kabrda, Parag Nemade, Stanislav Ochotnicky, and all of the members of the FPC, for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines. As a reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If you find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Committee#GuidelineChangeProcedure Thanks, ~tom
