requires into /bin and /sbin =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NoBinDeps
Change owner(s): Ales Kozumplik <ales(a)redhat.com>
Disallow dependencies on files under /bin, /sbin, /lib and /lib64.
== Detailed description ==
The current packaging guidelines read:
"Whenever possible you should avoid file dependencies outside of /etc, /bin,
/sbin, /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin."
I propose changing this to:
"Whenever possible you should avoid file dependencies outside of /etc,
/usr/bin, or /usr/sbin."
Related FPC ticket [1]: FPC wanted this change to be created.
== Scope ==
Proposal owners: None
Other developers: replace all explicit /bin/<foo> requires with
/usr/bin/<foo>.
Release engineering: N/A
Policies and guidelines: update the packaging guidelines accordingly.
