-This policy concerns the use of bundled software in the Fedora Package Collection.
-= Policy =
-All packages whose upstreams allow them to be built against system libraries must be built against system libraries.
-All packages whose upstreams have no mechanism to build against system libraries must be contacted publicly about a path to supporting system libraries. If upstream refuses, this must be recorded in the spec file using a persistent mechanism to be clarified in the packaging guidelines.
-All packages whose upstreams have no mechanism to build against system libraries may opt to carry bundled libraries, but if they do, they must include Provides: bundled(<libname>) = <version> in their RPM spec file. The FPC will maintain the list of bundled provides, please consult with them when adding new provides or in case of disputes.
