Queued but Unowned
Task Name Owner Target Date Notes
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
