I was reviewing the guidelines and maybe I'm over thinking things but one part that doesn't seem to be clear... Ok I understand that if you have a pure python module it goes in %{python_sitelib} (/usr/lib) and if you have a C extension module it goes in %{python_sitearch} (/usr/lib for 32bit or /u

Hi, Just something I wanted to bring to attention: Java 7 is slated for release (after years of hassle and heated debate) on 28 July, 2011. I think this would be an important feature to include for the Fedora 16 release, and the months between Java's release and Fedora 16's 25 October release wou
