#210 Fedora packages as canonical upstreams
Closed Opened by tibbs.

Reopen Issue

There are a few packages where the package itself is the canonical upstream. The packaging guidelines include mention of this procedure:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL#We_are_Upstream

Recently a draft was submitted to FPC:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/No_more_exception_where_we_are_upstream%28draft%29

The wording in the draft is not actually correct in that the exception is not specifically related to Red Hat-maintained content, but the aim seems to be the same regardless. FPC doesn't believe it is within our bailiwick to simply ban this practise and thus pass the potato to FESCo. If FESCo decides to end this procedure then FPC can trivially amend the guidelines.

This exception was dropped.
