True. As the (co-)maintainer of most Lua-related packages in Fedora I'd
really love to see more people involved, packaging and helping with
maintenance of packages.
For the guidelines I made some up for myself, especially regarding the
naming of packages. We (Jason Tibbitts as reviewer and me) came across a
few pitfalls if it comes to Packaging of Lua packages, especially the
ones that contain C code. For example passing correct CFLAGS to get
useful debuginfo packages. This should probably also be covered in the
guidelines. I'd just give it a start if no one objects.
Is there anything specific involved in creating a SIG besides having
interested people and setting up a Wiki page?
That's probably it. I've put up the Wiki page at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Lua
This might need to be added to the guideline: Lua seems to search for
libraries only in the current directory and in %{_libdir}. This means
that even packages that are actually noarch cannot be declared as
such, to make sure that they are built separately on each platform.
Best,
