-== Different Kinds of Packages
-
-* *https://drupal.org/project/modules[Modules]*: Modules extend and customize Drupal functionality.
-* *https://drupal.org/project/themes[Themes]*: Themes allow users to change the look and feel of their Drupal site.
-
-== Naming Scheme
-
-Every package *MUST* be named `+drupal7-+`__`+<drupal_machine_name+`__`+>+`. Drupal itself enforces unique machine names for each of its projects and there is a single namespace for all modules, themes, and distributions/profiles. The __`+<drupal_machine_name+`__`+>+` *MUST* match the drupal.org project name (i.e. drupal.org/project/__`+<drupal_machine_name+`__`+>+`).
-
-== Macros and Scriptlets
-
-Macros provided by the `+drupal7-rpmbuild+` package:
-
-[cols=",,",options="header",]
-|==========================================================================================
-|Macro |Value |Description
-|`+%drupal7+` |`+%{_datadir}/drupal7+` |Drupal 7 base directory
-|`+%drupal7_modules+` |`+%{drupal7}/modules+` |Drupal 7 modules directory
-|`+%drupal7_themes+` |`+%{drupal7}/themes+` |Drupal 7 themes directory
-|`+%drupal7_libraries+` |`+%{_sysconfdir}/drupal7/all/libraries+` |Drupal 7 libraries directory

-|==========================================================================================
-
-== File Placement
-
-* *Modules*: A module package *MUST* be placed in the `+%drupal7_modules+` directory
-* *Themes*: A theme package *MUST* be placed in the `+%drupal7_themes+` directory
-* *Libraries*: A library package *MUST* be placed in the `+%drupal7_libraries+` directory
-
-== Requires and Provides
-
-* Every package *MUST* require "`+drupal7(+``+)+`" virtual resources instead of "`+drupal7-+`" packages.
-* Every package *MUST* include the following in its' spec:
-** The `+drupal7-rpmbuild+` package automatically requires `+drupal7(core)+` and scans files for provides (from *.info files) and automatically adds them to the package during build time as "`+drupal7(+``+)+`" virtual resources. https://drupal.org/node/542202#hidden[Hidden projects] are ignored. The use of virtual provides and requires helps alleviate the confusion of sub-modules and which modules actually provide those sub-modules.
-+
-....
-BuildRequires: drupal7-rpmbuild &gt;= 7.23-3
-....
-** For compatibility with RPM < 4.9 (i.e. EPEL 5/6):
-+
-....
-%{?drupal7_find_provides_and_requires}
-....
-* Every package *MUST NOT*:
-** explicitly require "`+drupal7+`" or "`+drupal7(core)+`" (*unless* a specific core version is required) because `+drupal7-rpmbuild+` auro-requires "`+drupal7(core)+`"
-** explicitly provide "`+drupal7(+``+)+`" virtual resources because `+drupal7-rpmbuild+` auto-provides these
-
-=== Other Packages
-
-See xref:PHP.adoc#Other_Packages[PHP packaging guidelines].
-
-=== PHP Extensions
-
-See xref:PHP.adoc#Extensions_Requires[PHP packaging guidelines].
-
-To get a list of required PHP extensions, use https://github.com/llaville/php-compat-info[PHP_CompatInfo (phpcompatinfo)]:
-
-....
-phpcompatinfo print --recursive --report=extension unpacked_package_source_directory
-....
-
-To install https://github.com/llaville/php-compat-info[PHP_CompatInfo (phpcompatinfo)], run "`+yum install php-bartlett-PHP-CompatInfo+`".
-
-=== Requiring a Minimum PHP Version
-
-See xref:PHP.adoc#Requiring_a_Minimum_PHP_version[PHP packaging guidelines] but note that this should not normally be required by most packages (see https://drupal.org/node/542202#php[1]).
-
-=== Common Issues
-
-* On RHEL 5/6 there is an issue with the standard auto-requires script (`+/usr/lib/rpm/find-requires+`). When there is no "`+#!+`" (she-bang) line at the beginning of an executable PHP file, the script tries to add an invalid "
-+
-+
-" as a dependency. Rpmbuild then errors out with something similar to the following:
-+
-....
-RPM build errors:
-    line 53: Dependency tokens must begin with alpha-numeric, '_' or '/': -
-....
-+
-To fix this issue, find the files that incorrectly have their executable bit set and remove the executable bit in the spec's `+%prep+` section. If there should be no executable files in the package then the following could be added to the spec's `+%prep+` section:
-+
-....
-find . -type f -executable -print0 | xargs -0 chmod -x
-....
-+
-
-== Additional Hints
-
-* Every module package *SHOULD* list the Drupal modules it provides in its description:
-+
-....
- This package provides the following Drupal module(s):
- * %{module}
-....
-+
-For example, the `+drupal7-domain+` package contains the following in its description:
-+
-....
-This package provides the following Drupal modules:
-* %{module}
-* %{module}_alias
-* %{module}_conf
-* %{module}_content
-* %{module}_nav
-* %{module}_settings
-* %{module}_source
-* %{module}_strict
-* %{module}_theme
-....
-+
-
-== Templates
-
-=== RPM README
-
-....
-After installation, you must enable this module from the Drupal administration
-page.
-
-If upgrading this module separately from the core Drupal package, be sure to
-run the https://hostname/drupal7/upgrade.php script after this RPM is upgraded.
