So main questions are: - how could be Packaging/ maintained (eg. we would have a Docbook original somewhere and convert it to wiki as SUSE packaging conventions [2])? - how could we structure existing information to be more readable and useful for community? - what is missing, or unclear and needs to be improved? (- and who will do this all ;-))
Can't we simply adopt the Fedora doc and make it a cross-distribution documentation? (we might have some differences, but I'm sure we can drop some, and work with Fedora people on a good way to highlight the differences)

Good idea.
I'm sure Fedora would be happy and willing to co-operate on this. Having spoken to several people and been approached by several whilst at FOSDEM about ways in which they can work with openSUSE and other projects, they are keen to help in the cross pollination of information.
If Fedora would be interested, why not. I'm afraid that this would be better, but rather impossible way. Stanislav Brabec told me about his effort on unification of RPM macros used by various distributions, but it failed. It failed on a simple reason - no one want to change his policy/macros/etc. I CCing him, so he should be able provide more details about current state of discussion on rpm-devel (or rpm-maint, I'm not sure) mailing list.
90% of Fedora guidelines applies on openSUSE too. It would be relatively easy to just take the Fedora guidelines and do some adjustments.
Another question is how to keep the Fedora and openSUSE versions of the guidelines synced in the future.
Work together with them on it. We have discussed this before already with Fedora and they were interessted in a joint approach as well. I can tell you the contacts in PM, in case you do not have them anymore. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
