Could you cover the directory ownership, too?
Dir ownership is incomplete/inconsistent.

Create a devassistant-filesystem package if necessary, which could be
reused where appropriate.

Unowned:

# repoquery --whatprovides  /usr/share/devassistant/meta
  # repoquery --whatprovides  /usr/share/devassistant/doc
  #

Multiple owners (and incorrect naming of the package?):

# repoquery --whatprovides  /usr/share/devassistant/assistants
  openlmi-devassistant-0:0.5.0-5.fc21.noarch
  openlmi-devassistant-0:0.6.0-1.fc21.noarch
  devassistant-0:0.9.3-2.fc21.noarch
  devassistant-0:0.9.3-1.fc21.noarch

Correct ownership:

# repoquery --whatprovides  /usr/share/devassistant
  devassistant-0:0.9.3-2.fc21.noarch
  devassistant-0:0.9.3-1.fc21.noarch
  # repoquery --whatprovides  /usr/share/devassistant/files
  devassistant-0:0.9.3-2.fc21.noarch
  devassistant-0:0.9.3-1.fc21.noarch
  # repoquery --whatprovides  /usr/share/devassistant/files/crt
  devassistant-0:0.9.3-2.fc21.noarch
  devassistant-0:0.9.3-1.fc21.noarch
  # repoquery --whatprovides  /usr/share/devassistant/icons
  devassistant-0:0.9.3-2.fc21.noarch
  devassistant-0:0.9.3-1.fc21.noarch
  # repoquery --whatprovides  /usr/share/devassistant/icons/crt
  devassistant-0:0.9.3-2.fc21.noarch
  devassistant-0:0.9.3-1.fc21.noarch

Fixed by adding the section "Directory ownership" [1].

All directories in question will be owned by the package devassistant-core. We have a COPR build of DevAssistant 0.10.1 at [2], which conforms to the layout described in the guidelines. You can examine the packages therein to verify my claims. Should these guidelines be accepted, the package of DevAssistant in Rawhide would be very similar to the one in COPR.

The package openlmi-devassistant was not created in accordance to these guidelines, and will have to be changed/dropped. We will talk to the maintainers to rectify the situation.

Please, bear in mind that the version of DevAssistant present in Fedora 21 and Rawhide at the moment (0.9.3) is not subject these guidelines. They will not take effect in Fedora 21, and the version 0.9.3 is to be replaced by version 0.10.1 in Rawhide.
