Hi,
I'm trying to meet a (probably overly aggressive) personal goal of
having zero NEW rawhide bugs (which are not Package Reviews) by the time
of Fedora 10 GA. Along the way I thought I'd post some of the questions
and issues I see while triaging these bugs so we can all learn. I
encourage others to do the same. I've just knocked the list down to
close to 500!
If you want to join in and help the query for NEW rawhide bugs excluding
package reviews is here:

Here is what I have so far:
# Is there a general policy around using perl in pre/post ?

Not that I know of, but it is good practice to avoid creating unneccessary
dependancies if there are alternatives, particularly if the choice is between
a large package & small package. Many perl scripts can be done just as well
with a short piece of awk/sed. This makes it much easier for people who want
to build minimal/small Fedora images because they don't unneccessarily
bring in the entire of Perl just for a %post script. Not that I want to single
out perl - the same rationale would apply to unneccessary use of python, if
the use in question could be easily written in awk/sed.
