Sorry, this went out to just Stanislav by accident. I'll recheck the
list settings; I thought I configured it so Reply-To gets set to the

Heh, funnily enough just yesterday I was talking to thrcka about proposing some
mailing list to simplify coordination and communication
Get out of my brain! :-)

Uhmm, that's was just my goal with Java guidelines since they have become
bloated over time :-) In any case I believe it's a good idea to separate policy
and common trips & tricks so +1 for this endeavor
Well one member of FPC +1ed your idea at least, so it seemed worth it
to go that route since I need to update the guidelines anyway.
Yeah, this seems like a good idea. I wonder if npm2rpm and stuff like
that should live in this package, or in it's own?
Last thing from me: in Java it became apparent only after a
while...It might be good
idea to create a separate "nodejs-local" or similarly named package used for
RPM
builds. This would pull in macros and all dependencies needed to build RPMs.
Otherwise we'll possibly pollute user systems with rpm macros and additional
dependencies even though they are not interested in packaging RPMs, just using
node/npm.
I'm not sure this is necessary in node's case. The only thing RPM
builds need that normal node use doesn't require is the RPM macros,
which will end up in their own package eventually anyway.
