Description marcindulak 2011-03-26 13:31:52 UTC
Description of problem:

Introduce an RPM branding package that contains
vendor references, icons, etc.
Then all packages in need would depend on that one RPM package.
This would help releasing of Fedora/Red Hat clones (CentOS, SL, ...).

Currently the branding removal process on the clones is
error prone and just plain waste of time.
For example Fedora's thunderbird package contains general.useragent.vendor
variable set 'Fedora' (see http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4590),
and SL package thunderbird-3.1.9-3.el6_0.i686 fails to remove the
corresponding value 'Red Hat'.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2011-03-28 17:20:44 UTC
For anything that includes trademarked artwork, please file those as separate issues (you can have them block this, if you so desire.) From looking at the CentOS page, there seemed to be a number of false positives in this area.

Comment 2 marcindulak 2011-03-29 08:21:25 UTC
I apologize for misunderstanding, but i'm suggesting here a
FutureFeature, not talking about a particular failure of
removal of trademarks an a particular clone of Red Hat.
I believe Fedora is the right system
to introduce such a feature (vendor branding RPM package).

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2011-03-30 16:25:01 UTC
The point is that a lot of those issues are about trademarked artwork being in packages... that needs solved in those packages above and beyond any vendor branding package.

Comment 4 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-07-27 18:48:37 UTC
Not sure why this is blocking FE-Legal. Bill, if you decide to do this and need my help here, let me know.
