Executive summary:
The following drafts are now official guidelines, having been accepted
by FESCO last week:
* Minor clarifications to the filename encoding guidelines:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2007-April/msg00156.html
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:
* No proposals are submitted for FESCO consideration this week.
Misc business:
* Switching the guidelines to recommend the use of %global instead of
%define in specfiles. See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237448 for a
reference. A draft on the differences between %global and %define
in specfiles is being prepared and should be presented next week.
* FPC's obligations to present information to FESCO and the manner in
which that's done. We'll continue to use the current method until
FESCO decides they'd like it done differently.
