Icon tag in spec files
by Bruno Wolff III 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

I have a request (bz 787335) to add an Icon tag to the spec file for freecol so that the appropriate icon will be displayed at: https://community.dev.fedoraproject.org/packages/freecol I don't remember running across any guidelines covering this. Is this something I missed? Is this something new that should be documented?

Packaging legacy sysv initscripts and native systemd unit
by Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 02 Mar '12

Personally I never understood why this was allowed in the first place but given that we have all GA release on systemd now I'm wondering if the relevant section in the Fedora packaging guidelines "However, packagers who wish to include SysV initscripts may also do so" cant be changed to "However, packagers who wish to include SysV initscripts may no longer do so" ( or something similar ). Basically strictly forbid shipping both. It serves absolute no purpose shipping both legacy sysv init script and native systemd units. It did not do so from the start and it certainly does not do so now. There where few packages that went this route ( those supporting RHEL and Fedora put in an if statement if on red hat then install sysv init from what I observed ). Thanks. Jóhann B.
