Changes to the Packaging Guidelines

Tom 'Spot' Callaway announced[1],

"Here are the changes to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines for this week:

The Packaging:PHP guidelines have been updated to reflect that PEAR documentation provided by upstream are installed in %{pear_docdir}, should stay there, and must be marked as %doc.

Additionally, the definition of pear_docdir has been defined as %{_docdir}/pear.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:PHP

---

The Java guidelines have been updated to add information and sample template for Maven 3 (Fedora 15+).

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java

---

These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee (FPC).

Many thanks to Remi Collet, Stanislav Ochotnicky, and all of the members of the FPC, for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines.

As a reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If you find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here [2]

Thanks,

~spot"

Your package translation

Noriko[1] on Mon Mar 21 23:57:43 UTC 2011 announced[2],

"Dear Fedora package maintainers

Could you all please take a few minutes and check if your packages are on the list[3]and set to allow Fedora Localization Project to translate?

  • The above packages are on the list but do not allow Fedora Localization teams to upload the translated files. This means that these

packages will not receive any translation from FLP. Please change the setting to allow FLP, or advise us if the maintainers choose having their own translation teams. In that case, the packages may be removed from the list of Fedora Project on tx.net."

Fedora Events

The purpose of event is to build a global Fedora events calendar, and to identify responsible Ambassadors for each event. The event page is laid out by quarter and by region. Please maintain the layout, as it is crucial for budget planning. Events can be added to this page whether or not they have an Ambassador owner. Events without an owner are not eligible for funding, but being listed allows any Ambassador to take ownership of the event and make it eligible for funding. In plain words, Fedora events are the exclusive and source of marketing, learning and meeting all the fellow community people around you. So, please mark your agenda with the following events to consider attending or volunteering near you!

Upcoming Events (Dec 2010 - Feb 2011)

  • North America (NA)[1]
  • Central & South America (LATAM): [2]
  • Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA)[3]
  • India, Asia, Australia (India/APJ)[4]
