Hi Fedorans!
The Fedora Packaging Committee has made some updates to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines. All of these changes were approved by the Fedora Packaging Committee and ratified by FESCo.
Specifically:
* There are now language specific guidelines for Haskell and Lisp See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Haskell https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Lisp
* The Packaging/Guidelines have new sections covering: - Noting Patch Upstream Status https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#All_patches_should_have_... - Bundling multiple upstream items in a single package https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Bundling_of_multiple_pro... - Avoiding font bundling https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Avoid_bundling_of_fonts_...
In addition, the Desktop files section has been updated to reflect the permitted usage of desktop-file-install: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Desktop_files
Thanks to everyone who helped in the process of amending the Fedora Guidelines.
