[cloud] #33: File F21 change: use %license for cloud image packages
#33: File F21 change: use %license for cloud image packages +-- Reporter: mattdm | Owner: Type: task| Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Fedora 21 (Feature Deadline) Component: --- | Keywords: +-- See https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/411 (the first part of which I am repeating here): Background: 1. Right now, license files are required to be marked as %doc files. 2. There has long been a nodocs parameter to RPM which skips all doc files. 3. In addition to the desired space-savings, this installs packages without their possibly-mandatory license files This interaction hasn't been problematic before, because generally using nodocs is an endpoint choice with no distribution after that. But now, we are looking at building some official cloud and container images with nodocs, so it suddenly becomes important. As a bonus, it's my understanding that this tag can automatically handle hardlinking identical license files. Specifically, I propose: 1. We change the guidelines 2. We start doing it for new packages 3. We file a F21 system-wide change for a proven packager to change all the packages that land in the cloud image for F21 (roughly, @core + dependencies plus a few extras) 4. We file a system-wide change for F22 to update all other packages which are part of the base design 5. Other packages updated on a as-time-permits/best-effort basis -- Ticket URL: https://fedorahosted.org/cloud/ticket/33 cloud https://fedorahosted.org/cloud Fedora Cloud Working Group Ticketing System ___ cloud mailing list cloud@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct

Nevertheless, I really like the idea. This is a process, not necessarily required to be completed at a specific point of time. Why don't we propose a badge for this and let users submit patches to specs? -- Ticket URL: https://fedorahosted.org/cloud/ticket/33#comment:2 cloud https://fedorahosted.org/cloud Fedora Cloud Working Group Ticketing System ___ cloud mailing list cloud@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
