17:00 UTC will likely not work for me.

Therefore, votes and comments interspersed below

FPC works from the agenda at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/GuidelinesTodo; here are some things which should be brought up for discussion at the next meeting:

GConf scriptlets - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/ScriptletSnippets/GConf

0 ... this proposal needs further discussion. It's way too complex and way too intrusive to be able to comment on in a short emails.

Globus - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Globus

In my understanding, the globus package set is an arbitrary set of packages like many 1000 others in Fedora and therefore doesn't need specialized rules in the FPG. => My vote: -1

Compiler Flags - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Compiler_Flags_(draft)

I would presume this kind of "wisdom" to be "elementary and basic knowledge", people without should not package packages for Fedora.

Apart of this, this proposal is misleading ("should honor", IMO "must honor"), partially wrong (make CFLAGS=... is wrong for modern autotools based packages), ... I don't find this proposal helpful.

=> My vote: -1
