[Guidelines Change] Changes to the Packaging Guidelines

["Tom \"spot\" Callaway" <tcallawa redhat com>]

Two changes have recently been made to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines.

Specifically:

The main Fedora Packaging Guidelines now has a section which forbids packages 
to own files or directories under /srv. This new section can be found here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#NoFilesOrDirectoriesUnderSrv

As a reminder, any Fedora packages which are currently owning files or directories 
under /srv need to be fixed before the release of Fedora 10.

The guidelines describing how to deal with GCJ compilation in Java 
packages have been amended to conditionalize GCJ:

These guidelines (and changes) were approved by the Fedora Packaging
Committee (FPC) and ratified by FESCo.

Many thanks to Lubomir Kundrak, and all of the members of the FPC and FESCo, 
for assisting in drafting, refining, and passing these guidelines.

A reminder: The Fedora Packaging Guidelines are living documents! If you
find something missing, incorrect, or in need of revision, you can
suggest a draft change. The procedure for this is documented here:

Thanks,
