The way I read this bit is that the packages listed in the policy have 'permanent' exceptions; if you don't have one of those 'permanent' exceptions, you must request a one-time exception from FESCo every time you want to do a bump, and those one-time exceptions don't get written into the 'permanent' list. I agree it's not super clear, though. And clearly we aren't 100% following those rules. There's another point where we lack clarity, I think. The policy mixes the words "must" and "should" a lot. But it doesn't make it very clear if it's really following a strict meaning for those, like the packaging policy, or if some of the "shoulds" are really intended as "musts"... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA IRC: adamw | Twitter: adamw_ha https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
