| libexecdir in FHS | nobody | started, first feedback from FHS' editors, ongoing | Get involved in FHS discussions to resurrect libexec in the FHS: Mail thread Is this link correct? issue moved up to FHS' bugzilla: Bug #101 |
| CFlags Prohibition | nobody | unknown | Don't manually set CFLAGS in the spec, %configure should do it for you. |
| Patch Best Practice | nobody | unknown | Remember that "Patch" is the same as "Patch0". You should consider using Patch0 for the first patch, since it removes any possible confusion as to which patch you're using. This is not required. |
| Files Generated by Scriptlets | nobody | unknown | Policy on cleaning up things introduced in %post (and not creating files in %post.) |
| aclocal | nobody | unknown | Should packages that place files under /usr/share/aclocal be required to have a Require: /usr/share/aclocal?
|
| rpmbuild --with/--without | nobody | unknown | Encourage using rpmbuild --with/--without for conditionally build parts of a spec. Discourage using --define 'with/without_xxx 1' and similar custom magic. |
| scons guidelines | nobody | unknown | In the announcement thread for the cmake guidelines, it was suggested that scons guidelines in the same vein would be useful. |
| autoconf/automake usage | nobody | unknown | Policy on using autoconf/automake in %setup or %build sections of a spec file and usage of older autoconf/automake releases. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/AutoConf |
