I requested it to be imported somewhere in CVS after Warren asked
whether there's something that needs to be saved in cvs.fedora.us.
Elliot Lee imported it to docs.
I think the packager's handbook, while very much work in progress and
partially outdated, still does contain some useful information, and that
having things in docbook format has some advantages over Wikis. Your
thoughts?
I thought it might be a fine idea to get "spot's" stuff from the Wiki
integrated in it wherever necessary and reasonable; that may already be
done, but I haven't read through the whole thing. Certainly we're happy
to house it, as long as there's a mintainer! :-) There are a few docs
people who are maintainers in Extras CVS, so certainly someone can be
roped into helping out.
The packager's handbook does not need anything right now, but if
people
see it being useful and fits the plans of the docs project, I'd be
interested in contributing every now and then in order to "finish" it
and make it generally better. But the primary reason right now in
importing it *somewhere* is to get it out of the way when Warren needs
to shut cvs.fedora.us down.
That sounds great to me.
We have a steering committee meeting this afternoon, and I'll work on
getting some additional components that are appropriate for this kind of
bug, and post here to the list with a Cc to you. Then you can file the
bug under Fedora Documentation with summary "New document: Packagers
Handbook" or some such.

It was a direct CVS repository copy from cvs.fedora.us in order to
preserve history, not the usual add + commit.
Cool, thanks for the info. I am not a big CVS junkie, so I didn't even
realize one could do this!
(Please Cc me in replies, I'm not subscribed to the docs list at
the
moment. And Marius is currently taking time off the project; I'm sure
he wouldn't mind being dropped from Cc.)
I removed him from Cc on this thread, thanks.
