As we said during our first meeting, the idea is to avoid +NIH syndrome and reuse what already exists. + +Here is a list of some of Mandriva policies for review. I tried to +organize them in sections, some of them might be rather incomplete, or +outdated. Please announce which subsection you’re going to proofread, +that will allow us to get through them faster (2 or 3 people max per +page should be good) + +As for the process, I would be in favor of creating one thread per +policy review, because that could help people having knowledge in some +area to sort out these mails and reply to them specifically. + +Some of these policies have already been discussed in previous threads, +in that case we shouldn’t create a new one. + +New packagers might want to take a look at some of these policies +too, it will help you getting faster on par with the prerequisites to +become a packager too. + +WARNING, long list coming. + +Licenses +- Licensing policy + <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Licensing_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Licensing_policy</A> -> this policy will have + to be reviewed to match our mirroring layout, otherwise, it should + also include allowed licenses (those can be retrieved with rpmlint -i) +- Mandriva Linux Valid Licenses + <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Mandriva_Linux_Valid_Licenses">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Mandriva_Linux_Valid_Licenses</A> -> seems + outdated + +Common Packaging Practices +- RPM Groups + <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Policies/GroupTag">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Policies/GroupTag</A> + -> there has been some discussions this evening about having more + fine-grained groups. IMHO, I think we have already a lot of things to + do to review packages for import, I think we should postpone this + after the first release. +- RPM specs file syntax + <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/RPM_specs_file_syntax">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/RPM_specs_file_syntax</A> -> maybe add a + section about subpackages, where to put the %files section, use of + spaces/tabs. + tbh I just discovered this one while making this list. +- Versioning scheme + <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Distribution_specific_release_tag_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Distribution_specific_release_tag_policy</A> + -> this one needs a bit of cleaning IMHO, there are quite some + discussions inside the page, while these should happen in discussion. + Some information might need to be adapted to Mageia (ie mdk->mga) +- Preversions + <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/packaging/Policies/PreVersions">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/packaging/Policies/PreVersions</A> + -> old, needs to be reworked (what about changesets in hg or git ?) +- Post-Release Support Policy + <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Support">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Support</A> -> This one needs to be + adapted to match our mirroring structure (see the mirror layout thread + and the mirror policy item below) +- Freeze policy + <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Freeze">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Freeze</A> -> draft +- Maintainers Policy + <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Roles/Maintainer">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Roles/Maintainer</A> + <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Maintainers_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Maintainers_policy</A> -> this one is + quite recent, and is still discussed, not sure we will follow this + every convention mentionned here either. +- XDG menu system policy + <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/XDG_menu_system_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/XDG_menu_system_policy</A> +- Charset + <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Charset_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Charset_policy</A> -> not sure we need to keep + this one, should be UTF-8 by default (though C is the default on the + mandriva cluster).
