Summary:
The following drafts are now official guidelines, having been accepted
by FESCO last week:
* RubyGems with C code -
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/RubyGem_with_C_code
* Font packaging automation -
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Fonts_packaging_automation
* Updates to the Eclipse plugin guidelines
* Make adherence to the FHS a MUST, with the added exception of
/usr/<target> for cross toolchains.
These should be written into the guidelines soon if this hasn't
already been done by the time you read this.
Issues pending FESCO ratification:
* Font package splitting rules

Misc business:
* Font package naming -
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Font_package_naming_%282008-12-22%29
o Passed back to the submitter with comments and questions.
* Use of absolute symlinks in packages -
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Absolute_symlinks_in_fonts_templates_%282009-01-02%29
o Turns out that rpm can be made to convert all symlinks to relative
ones transparently, so that's being experimented with first.
