Proposed Packaging Guidelines for Documentation Packages generated by Publican
Package naming convention
Proposed: Documentation packages be named with version numbering in the package name to allow parallel installation of multiple versions.
Example: fedora-security-guide-11-en-US
Rationale: There are several use cases where installing multiple versions of documentation on the same system is desirable.

Desktop .spec file
Proposed: Allow the Desktop entry to be included inline in the %install section of the spec file rather than requiring it as a separate file.
for example:
cat > %{name}.desktop <<'EOF' [Desktop Entry] Name=fedora 11: security-guide Comment=A Guide to Securing Fedora Linux Exec=%{viewer} %{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}/index.html Icon=%{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version}/images/icon.svg Categories=Documentation;X-Red-Hat-Base; Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Terminal=false EOF
