Is filterutil a library that can be used in any zikula module or is
it
something that can only be used in pagemaster? If it's the latter then
it can stay in the pagemaster package as it's really just a part of
that. If the former: Is FilterUtil distributed as its own backported
module or is each new release a part of the pagemaster release? If
it's only distributed inside the pagemaster module then it's a library
provided by pagemaster. If the latter, it needs to be packaged
separately.
So FilterUtil will become a core Zikula library, available to all. However,
in Zikula 1.x (i.e. the deployment we are talking about) FilterUtil is not
available. The pagemaster developers have backported it for their uses -
it's not publically available as a download from anywhere except the Zikula
SVN.
No other modules should access the FilterUtil provided by pagemaster - it's
something they have backported for themselves only. From what I know of the
Fedora packaging guidelines in this case there is no need to package
FilterUtil separately - there will be no external dependencies.
