Matthew recommended that it be a functional package and others have suggested that it should also be part of a Badge series. I think we could make this work fairly easily: 1) We write a simple application to include in the package. Its purpose will be to display a web page that lists the names of all of the CONTRIBUTORS up to this point and then, after 30 seconds, automatically redirects to the badge-claim link. 2) The application would also be designed to throw an error if the binary is located anywhere but /usr/bin. Essentially "you built the package and were able to install it successfully". 3) The application would generate the list of CONTRIBUTORS from a drop directory (CONTRIBUTORS.d) instead of a single file, so we can avoid the potential conflicts. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
