The only relevant documentation for us (that is, relevant to be shipped
in the package as %doc) would be COPYING, and the beaker-server upgrade
notes. We do this correctly already I believe.
I suppose that's right. What is confusing is it talks about docs 'included in the
source distribution'.
We have a lot more in the source distribution than what we have in our binary RPMs.

Not sure which guideline you are referring to here but I doubt it
applies, since Beaker is pure Python.
Apparently any package that meets the following criteria (amongst possible others):
"Your package is long running. This means it's likely to be started and keep
running until
the machine is rebooted, not start on demand and quit on idle."
Beaker meets that criteria.

Did you also look over the Python guidelines? I think we already adhere
to them all.
Hmm, I saw it was for 'Python addon modules'. I assumed that would be something,
that is actually packaged as python-*. I'll double check though and see if it
is relevent to us, and if so, what is needed to be in compliance with it.
