I don't believe it's in violation of the packaging guidelines and should probably be taken to the Fedora Packaging Committee or FESCo (Fedora Engineering Steering Committe, it can't be resolved in this bug as the fedora-repos package is purely for fedora repository configuration data so it's not actually a bug in a package per se but a policy decision which can't be solved here. |
Created attachment 1562619 [details] Screen grab Description of problem: Searching for steam on dnf, amongst the results, I saw this: python2-fuckit.noarch : The Python Error Steamroller python3-fuckit.noarch : The Python Error Steamroller I think the use of expletives should be removed from packaging as this is seen as unprofessional and could result in uncomfortable situations in the workplace. These packages are part of the 'fedora' repo. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 29 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open terminal 2.Do 'dnf search steam' 3.Observe the results Actual results: Result include packages with profanity in it. I.e. the words 'fuck'. Expected results: A less profane package names. e.g. python2-fixit.noarch : The Python Error Steamroller python3-fixit.noarch : The Python Error Steamroller Additional info:
