Same with the openSUSE wiki concerning package submissions: There is a lot of "best practice", where it does not matter how exactly this is done, only that it is done. Like it makes no difference if you use a brown or a black bag.
Best practices can also be specified for the how, not just the what. In fact, the wiki is chock-full of "how"-type documents, because the "what" is often quite self-evident as people go about scratching their initial itches. The entire shared library guideline is a giant pile of cosmetical "how", since you could just as well ignore it and collect all files in a single package. It certainly worked in SUSE 6.0. Best practices exist to be achieved. Otherwise, having these BP would be quite pointless. If anyone does not like spending time trying to achieve them, that is fine, and there is no need to feel bad about it either. openSUSE is (supposed to be) a collaborative effort. Others are very much willing to step in to further the project. What puzzles me is that you are actively working against that. If you feel the $best has problems, you can propose a new value for $best. The collective will evalute and maybe come to the impression it is time to switch. I mean, the board does it all the time with version numbers... ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
