Subject: Agreeing on some "rules" for packaging.
Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2013 23:46:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <521D1E38.9090604@gmail.com> (raw)

Hey!

At the GHM, a Fedora hacker (whose name I forgot) suggested that it 
might be time for us to write down some "rules" as to how packaging 
should be done.

For instance, Andreas suggested that patches should only be used if we 
think they might be applied upstream, thus keeping the patches/ 
directory as small as possible; modifications specific to Guix should be 
written in Scheme.

I would also like to define a standard way to order the "#:use-module" 
at the beginning of each file, and agree on other "cosmetic" rules.

What do you think ?

Cyril.
