><i> Hi,
</I>><i>
</I>><i> As promised, you’ll find a list of existing policies that we could use
</I>><i> for Mageia. As we said during our first meeting, the idea is to avoid
</I>><i> NIH syndrome and reuse what already exists.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Here is a list of some of Mandriva policies for review. I tried to
</I>><i> organize them in sections, some of them might be rather incomplete, or
</I>><i> outdated. Please announce which subsection you’re going to proofread,
</I>><i> that will allow us to get through them faster (2 or 3 people max per
</I>><i> page should be good)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> As for the process, I would be in favor of creating one thread per
</I>><i> policy review, because that could help people having knowledge in some
</I>><i> area to sort out these mails and reply to them specifically.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Some of these policies have already been discussed in previous threads,
</I>><i> in that case we shouldn’t create a new one.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> New packagers might want to take a look at some of these policies
</I>><i> too, it will help you getting faster on par with the prerequisites to
</I>><i> become a packager too.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> WARNING, long list coming.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Licenses
</I>><i> - Licensing policy
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Licensing_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Licensing_policy</A> -> this policy will have
</I>><i> to be reviewed to match our mirroring layout, otherwise, it should
</I>><i> also include allowed licenses (those can be retrieved with rpmlint -i)
</I>><i> - Mandriva Linux Valid Licenses
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Mandriva_Linux_Valid_Licenses">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Mandriva_Linux_Valid_Licenses</A> -> seems
</I>><i> outdated
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Common Packaging Practices
</I>><i> - RPM Groups
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Policies/GroupTag">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Policies/GroupTag</A>
</I>><i> -> there has been some discussions this evening about having more
</I>><i> fine-grained groups. IMHO, I think we have already a lot of things to
</I>><i> do to review packages for import, I think we should postpone this
</I>><i> after the first release.
</I>><i> - RPM specs file syntax
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/RPM_specs_file_syntax">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/RPM_specs_file_syntax</A> -> maybe add a
</I>><i> section about subpackages, where to put the %files section, use of
</I>><i> spaces/tabs.
</I>><i> tbh I just discovered this one while making this list.
</I>><i> - Versioning scheme
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Distribution_specific_release_tag_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Distribution_specific_release_tag_policy</A>
</I>><i> -> this one needs a bit of cleaning IMHO, there are quite some
</I>><i> discussions inside the page, while these should happen in discussion.
</I>><i> Some information might need to be adapted to Mageia (ie mdk->mga)
</I>><i> - Preversions
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/packaging/Policies/PreVersions">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/packaging/Policies/PreVersions</A>
</I>><i> -> old, needs to be reworked (what about changesets in hg or git ?)
</I>><i> - Post-Release Support Policy
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Support">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Support</A> -> This one needs to be
</I>><i> adapted to match our mirroring structure (see the mirror layout thread
</I>><i> and the mirror policy item below)
</I>><i> - Freeze policy
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Freeze">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Freeze</A> -> draft
</I>><i> - Maintainers Policy
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Roles/Maintainer">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Roles/Maintainer</A>
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Maintainers_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Maintainers_policy</A> -> this one is
</I>><i> quite recent, and is still discussed, not sure we will follow this
</I>><i> every convention mentionned here either.
</I>><i> - XDG menu system policy
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/XDG_menu_system_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/XDG_menu_system_policy</A>
</I>><i> - Charset
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Charset_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Charset_policy</A> -> not sure we need to keep
</I>><i> this one, should be UTF-8 by default (though C is the default on the
</I>><i> mandriva cluster). Besides, translations aren’t in specs AFAIK
</I>><i> - Alternatives policy
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Alternatives_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Alternatives_policy</A> -> not sure we want to
</I>><i> have a lot of packages with alternatives, I was always told these are
</I>><i> a pain to maintain, shall we take this ?
</I>><i> - Multiarch policy
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Multiarch_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Multiarch_policy</A>
</I>><i> - SSL Certificates
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/SSL_certificates_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/SSL_certificates_policy</A>
</I>><i> - LSB
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Howto/LSB_Package">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Howto/LSB_Package</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Subpackages Packaging Practices
</I>><i> - Locales
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Packaging_%26_Localisation_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Packaging_%26_Localisation_policy</A>
</I>><i> - Libraries
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Libraries_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Libraries_policy</A> -> maybe add a section
</I>><i> about header files for devel packages
</I>><i> - Libtool archives (*.la) policy
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Libtool_archives_%28*.la%29_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Libtool_archives_%28*.la%29_policy</A> ->
</I>><i> maybe merge it into the library policy ?
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Language Specific Policies
</I>><i> - Perl
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Perl_library_packaging_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Perl_library_packaging_policy</A>
</I>><i> - Python
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Python_packaging_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Python_packaging_policy</A>

</I>><i> - Ruby
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Ruby_packaging_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Ruby_packaging_policy</A>
</I>><i> (draft too, some things need to be discussed too, ie naming
</I>><i> conventions)
</I>><i> - Java
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Native_Java_Packaging_Policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Native_Java_Packaging_Policy</A>
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Java_Packaging_Policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Java_Packaging_Policy</A>
</I>><i> (Do we need to merge these pages ?)
</I>><i> - TCL
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Policies/Tcl">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Policies/Tcl</A>
</I>><i> - OCaml
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Ocaml_library_packaging_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Ocaml_library_packaging_policy</A>
</I>><i> (are there people interested in maintaining OCaml packages ? if yes,
</I>><i> please add it on <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=packaging">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=packaging</A>
</I>><i> - Haskell
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Policies/Haskell">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Policies/Haskell</A>
</I>><i> same as above
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Specific types of packages
</I>><i> - Kernel

</I>><i> - Drakxtools
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/DrakXGui">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/DrakXGui</A>
</I>><i> - Xorg
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Packaging/Modular_X">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Packaging/Modular_X</A> (outdated)
</I>><i> - Fonts
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Fonts_packaging_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Fonts_packaging_policy</A>
</I>><i> - KDE 4
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/KDE_4_packaging_policies">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/KDE_4_packaging_policies</A>
</I>><i> - Web applications policy
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Web_applications_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Web_applications_policy</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Mirror policy
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Mandriva_Mirror_Structure_Policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Mandriva_Mirror_Structure_Policy</A> ,
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Mirror_Structure">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Mirror_Structure</A> and
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/SoftwareMedia">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/SoftwareMedia</A>
</I>><i> Well, as we are going to a different mirroring structure, I think these
</I>><i> ones need to be fully reworked from the discussions (see
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=mirrors_policy">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=mirrors_policy</A>)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Bug policy
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Bug_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Policies/Bug_policy</A>
</I>><i> This one should be handled in coordination with (or by) the triage team.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Some hidden policies might also be included in various howtos, I might
</I>><i> miss some of them :
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Tools/RPM/Howto">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Tools/RPM/Howto</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Finally, the following links are not policies, but I think they could be
</I>><i> included too :
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Problems">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Problems</A>
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Problems/Overlinking">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Problems/Overlinking</A>
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Problems/Underlinking">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Problems/Underlinking</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I’m not sure this list is complete, most are taken from these pages :
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Packaging/Tools">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Packaging/Tools</A>
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Category:Packaging_Policies">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Category:Packaging_Policies</A>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Thanks in advance to all reviewers,
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Regards,
</I>Very good job, shika! :)
