CfP Submission for Flock 2019 is now open
= Questions/Requested Information
I'm a long-time Fedora user (since the beginning) and contributor (since 2006). I'm a proven packager, sponsor and I served on the Fedora Packaging Committee for many years.
This talk will cover examples of the most egregious violations of best packaging practices I encountered in the wild personally. I will present real-life spec file excerpts, show which packaging guidelines are violated and explain how to do things properly. The audience is encouraged to bring their own examples.
Present and future package maintainers, not just in Fedora, but in any (including private) distribution.

Hi Dominik! We're looking forward to this talk. However, we do want to make sure that it stays positive and is not "shame oriented".

Thanks!

I'm definitely making a positive spin here. I won't be naming any names, just highlighting mistakes made most likely by people who are under pressure to produce "working" packages quickly or simply don't know any better.
