Dear list,


There is an ongoing thread in debian-devel on their Standards-Version usage. Reading this, it strikes me that Fedora lacks this info.

The basic package lifecycle is that it is reviewed to current standards, and after that start lagging from the actual standards. To which extent depends on the maintainer.

Debian addresses this by actually versioning their guidelines, and tracking the last version checked in  the package. There are checklists how to update between each version of the standard.

Could we learn anything from this? Fedora is not a rolling distribution, but the guidelines are. Would it be a good idea to actually provide versions of the guidelines? To track the last version checked in the packages?

If not for anything else., it would certainly make the life of fedora-review maintainers easier.

That said,  I'm turning a blind eye to the obvious technical hassles versioning a wiki.

Just my 5 öre
