-Packages adhere to the same basic set of rules as standard KISS packages. -Packages under sys/core should NEVER be listed as an explicit dependency. -Packages will only be accepted if they are available from an HTTPS source; a good place to find secure sources is the Debian repositories. You can also look at fossies.org. -Packages are expected to provide the bare-minimum necessary to get a program to run. In the event that there are multiple options for a given program (e.g what UI toolkit to use), always take the option that results in the fewest overall dependencies. Remember that forking is encouraged. -Internationalization should always be disabled by default. English is the only official language of this distribution. -Unless necessary for an existing package, arbitrary libraries will not be accepted. -Packages with git+ sources will not be accepted. Git support was a mistake.
