@toshio: I'm totally fine with manual -> automatic transition period. More
comments in-line:
Replying to [comment:28 toshio]:
SCLs need to Require both things within the SCL's namespace and
things
in the general package namespace.
Right, but as soon as the requirements are sane (there are no requirements
on non-existing symbols), we should be fine. I still think this can be
checked by a script (or by trying to install the packages manually in case
of human reviewer).
SCLs need to place some files in SCL directories and others in the
general file system namespace (files that add configuration to an external
service, for instance.)
I know about cases like that, but there are not many of them, so we should
rather white-list those -- not only for making it easily script-able
(rpmlint already has a module for SCL, so the white-list can be used there
as well) but also to limit spoiling the main root. What is more, all such
filenames outside of sclroot need to include the collection name anyway,
so again -- it should be possible to check it automatically (some day).
