== Wiki Draft ==
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Per-Product_Configuration_Packaging_Draft
== Goal == Establish a mechanism by which we can deliver different default configuration sets depending on which Product (or lack thereof) a user has installed.
== Contributing Factors == * Both yum and DNF have issues with handling Conflicts: at the appropriate phase of dependency-checking. As a result, we need to have a strict Requires: system-release-[standard|$PRODUCT] on the foo-config-* sub-packages to ensure that we don't ever try to pull in a Product-specific system-release package. * This design is heavily-dependent on deep knowledge of the depsolving mechanisms used by yum and DNF. * This design is a temporary measure and will be better and more cleanly handled by the advanced dependency methods planned for future (F23?) versions of RPM and DNF.
I'm asking the FPC to review and comment on this draft, ideally with a quick turnaround (as it will have direct influence on the Alpha deliverables). I've discussed it at length with Toshio when I was drawing it up; it should only have minor modifications to it after also discussing it with the yum and dnf developers.

Announcement text: """
Fedora.next Products may need to configure some packages differently from each other (for instance, firewall rules). There are now guidelines for how to achieve this using RPM subpackages that will be pulled in on the specific product on which they are needed.
