FYI, just in case you missed this. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jason L Tibbitts III <tibbs@math.uh.edu> Date: Tue, Aug 4, 2015 at 11:34 PM Subject: [Guidelines change] Changes to the packaging guidelines To: devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org Here are the recent changes to the packaging guidelines. ----- The big change is that the Python guidelines have been extensively reorganized and partially rewritten, and new macros are available which simplify packaging by removing some of the boilerplate which was previously required. The main guideline page has been slimmed down to show the more basic info and a clean and simple spec using the new macros which is free of multiline conditionals. boilerplate previously associated with python packages. Some of the more esoteric information has been moved to an appendix page to keep the main page of reasonable size. The new guidelines are currently only functional on Fedora 22 and newer releases, but are currently in updates-testing for Fedora 21 and EPEL7. The older guidelines are preserved in a separate page and we'll try to keep them updated with new requirements. The new guidelines page: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python The appendix: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python_Appendix The old guidelines: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python_Old Note that these cleaned up pages (and the old copy) include some new guidelines as well: There is new section indicating that -OO must not be used for python versions less than 3.5. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Optimization There are requirements for what python module packages must provide (via Provides:): * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Provides Related FPC tickets: * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/281 * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/534 * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/542 * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/545 * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/552 ----- Guidelines have been added covering services which need to perform setup when they are first started (including self-signed certificate generation). *​https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Initial_Service_Setup *​https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/506 ----- The guideline on spec file naming was moved into the main guidelines and now requires that its name be constructed by taking the name of the source package and appending ".spec". * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Spec_File_Naming * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/553 ----- FPC can now grant exceptions to the regular package review procedures. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging_Committee#Review_Process_Exemption_... * https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/539 * https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1435 _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel-announce -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.
