Description Matthias Clasen 2010-01-30 04:11:51 UTC
spec: http://mclasen.fedorapeople.org/accounts/accountsdialog.spec
srpm: http://mclasen.fedorapeople.org/accounts/accountsdialog-0.4-1.fc12.src.rpm

notes: 

1) the dialog depends on a dbus service under review here: bug 560178

2) the dialog depends on the git version of cheese for the webcam functionality. 

3) a gdm patch to get the user information from the service is currently under development

N/A - SHOULD: Scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane.
N/A - SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base package using a fully versioned dependency.
N/A - SHOULD: pkgconfig(.pc) files should be placed in a -devel pkg
N/A - SHOULD: If the package has file dependencies outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin consider requiring the package which provides the file instead of the file itself.


Other items:
OK - latest stable version
OK - SourceURL valid
OK - Compiler flags ok
OK - Debuginfo complete


Issues:
- The package doesn't build against the Polkit in F12, so please add the minimim required version to the polkit-devel BuildRequires.
- You are not using desktop-file-install or desktop-file-validate for accountsdialog.desktop
- The Exec= line in the desktop file should not have an absolute path.
- Add INSTALL='install -p' to make install to preserve the timestamps of the data files (pixmaps etc).


Notes:
- The source code is a mixture of GPLv2+ and GPLv3, src/locarchive.h is LGPLv2+. Can this be cleaned up?
- There are files from fprint and GDM included in the source, which violates the "No duplication of system libraries" policy. I assume this code will be moved into it's proper upstream packages once it's mature and you will build against these packages then, so for now this is not a problem.


Please fix the items marked as issues and consider the package APPROVED.

Hmm, I just tried, and it build fine in mock here. What failure are you seeing ?

I'll add that.

Not sure there is any rule about this, and I don't think it makes a difference either way. But I've remove the path in git, will be in the next release.

I don't think it makes any difference whatsoever, but I'll add it to make you happy.

No. These are files that are copied from elsewhere.

Not sure where you are going with this, but copying and adapting sources from elsewhere is quite normal, and the system library rule doesn't even come into play since we are not building any libraries here at all.

Fine with me.

It's not to make me happy but to follow the guidelines:

Please take a look at the bugs blocking the duplication of system libraries tracker bug 504493, for example at but 495310. Duplication of system libraries not only means that you must not build new, modified libs but also that you should not contain forked copies of other code in your tarballs to build against them. The focus should be on upstreaming the changes and I'm sure you will be going the right thing here.
