Two changes have recently been made to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines.
Specifically:
The main Fedora Packaging Guidelines now has a section which forbids packages to own files or directories under /srv. This new section can be found here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#NoFilesOrDirectoriesUnder...
As a reminder, any Fedora packages which are currently owning files or directories under /srv need to be fixed before the release of Fedora 10.
The guidelines describing how to deal with GCJ compilation in Java packages have been amended to conditionalize GCJ: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/GCJGuidelines
These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee (FPC) and ratified by FESCo.
Many thanks to Lubomir Kundrak, and all of the members of the FPC and FESCo, for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines.
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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Committee#GuidelineChangeProcedure
Thanks,

Or what? And who's going to verify that?

yum whatprovides /srv/* ?

That's a way to detect packages yes. My question was more directed at what happens to packages that aren't fixed and _who_ is actually going to verify they are fixed. Not how.

I volunteered to audit packages for compliance in the F10 cycle.
