[Guidelines Change] Changes to the Packaging Guidelines

[Miro Hrončok]

Hi, the GitHub rule is not working, if the name of the package isn't the 
same as the name of the repository on GitHub.

%setup -qn %{name}-%{commit}

Should be

%setup -qn $PROJECT-%{commit}

> Some changes to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines have been made:
>
> ---
>
> If a package is exempt from multilib, it may use %{_prefix}/lib instead
> of %{_libdir}. Packages that contain architecture specific files that
> would ordinarily be installed into %{_libexecdir} are always considered
> ineligible for multilib. However, you should be sure that the
> (sub)package that they are in does not have other content that would be
> considered eligible for multilib. If this is not the case for the files
> you wish to do this in for your package or you are just unsure, ask
> FESCo for an explicit multilib exemption.
>
> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Multilib_Exempt_Locations
>
> Please note that FESCo granted an explicit exemption for systemd (and
> any packages with systemd unit files) to use %{_prefix}/lib/systemd.
> The core systemd packages were also given permission to be excluded from
> multilib.
>
> ---
>
> The section of the Guidelines covering how to handle Troublesome URLs in
> SourceURL fields has been amended:
>
> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL#Troublesome_URLs
>
> Additionally, a new section has been added to cover how to handle GitHub
> source files:
>
> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL#Github
>
> ---
>
> The Java packaging guidelines were updated for the following changes:
>
> * No longer require 2+ jars to be in subdirectory (there was no
> technical need)
> * Add standardization for compatibility packages
> * Remove no longer needed parts about Maven 2
> * Improve add_maven_depmap documentation
> * Add suggestions for pom_ macros instead of patching
> * installation/use of J2EE APIs standardization (initial version)
> * JNI guidelines simplification & examples
>
> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java
>
> ---
>
> These guideline changes were approved by the Fedora Packaging
> Committee (FPC).
>
> Many thanks to leamas, Stanislav Ochotnicky (and the Java SIG), Kamil
> Páral, and all of the members of the FPC, for assisting in drafting,
> refining, and passing these guidelines.
>
> As a reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If
> you find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can
> suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here:
> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Committee#GuidelineChangeProcedure
