I was just wondering -- is there a policy on using bits of Debian packages in Fedora packages? As a concrete example, if Debian has already packaged a Java library and has written a build.xml file (essentially, a Makefile) for building it, am I allowed to include that file in my package? Should I apply the whole Debian patch (complete with upstream URL) and then copy the build.xml to where it needs to be, or can I just grab the build.xml file itself and include it as a source?
Thanks for any suggestions,
