license of the binary policy
by Jilayne Lovejoy 25 Mar '24

25 Mar '24

Hi Fedora legal and packaging, I'm cross-posting this, as I think it's relevant to both groups. The current policy for filling out the license field of the spec file (as described at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/LicensingGuidelin… ) states, "The License: field refers to the licenses of the contents of the binary rpm. When in doubt, ask." As we consider how to improve documentation related to Fedora licensing, it would be helpful to hear people's thoughts on the following: 1) how do you (package maintainers) interpret this policy in practice? 2) what further information/documentation about this policy would be helpful? 3) should this policy be different, and if so, how? 4) any other related thoughts or observations Thanks! Jilayne

Automatic virtual provides for RPM macros?
by Miro Hrončok 10 Mar '23

10 Mar '23

Hello, today at Nest, somebody said "unfortunately, there is no way to tell what package to install to get a particular RPM macro". I think that having an RPM provides generator for "rpm-macro(__python3)" or similar should be a fairly simple exercise. Would you folks consider that useful? -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

Janus: doxygen web dependencies
by Renich Bon Ćirić 09 Nov '22

09 Nov '22

Hello, Recently, I started packaging janus-gateway. I've run into a wall when dealing with the documentation and demos, though. They require jquery, bootstrap (js library only) bootswatch (themed bootstrap) in order to be able to function properly. The docs and demos are available here respectively: https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/docs/ https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/demos.html In order to make them available in Fedora, I was told to follow: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/JavaScript/ https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Web_Assets/ So, do I have to package and build bootswatch, bootstrap and jquery (v1.9 it seems) and all their dependencies; then patch the documentation so it consumes them in order to provide them (the documentation and demos sub-packages)? If so, can I omit these two for now so I can publish the package ASAP; while I continue to work on the documentation and demos sub-packages? Thank you.
