Hi,

In reviewing https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204417
I found something I am not sure about:

"You have:
%dir %{_datadir}/telepathy/
%dir %{_datadir}/telepathy/managers/
is it ok for other packages to have this as well, or can there be only one owner?
If only one owner, telepathy-gabble should not be the owner."

This package is one of potentially many packages that are all optional
and that all place their files here. Is it ok if all those packages own
the directories, or if not, what would the best way to handle this?

"One thing I can think of is having a telepathy-managers package
which would be required by all tp connection managers and owns those dirs, but I
don't know how such a package is viewed upon, and if there are better solutions."

Sander
