I would think this work directly falls under releng jurisdiction ( given that releng is ultimately responsible for the bits being shipped to end users and at the same time are the once most familiar with the inner packaging process ) in accordance with what FPC or FESCO decide. How does FPC handle packagers that violate the packaging guidelines? JBG -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
