Spec URL: http://sherry151.fedorapeople.org/python-plwm.spec SRPM URL: http://sherry151.fedorapeople.org/python-plwm-2.7-0.1.rc1.fc12.src.rpm Description: PLWM is a Python package, containing classes suitable for implementing a window manager. PLWM is also a window manager, using the PLWM package.
[ Assuming you are only interested in maintaining this for Fedora 13 and above] You don't have to define the Python macros on top. They are done automatically by RPM itself in Fedora 13. Read the Fedora Python packaging guidelines carefully. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python You should also inquire with upstream about the Python 3 status of this module You can remove the buildroot definition and cleaning of buildroot in %install section. These are not necessary anymore. Also remove the commented out %clean section You should also add a comment on each of the patches with a short description of what it does and upstream status of the patches. Of course, you haven't filed it upstream or informed the upstream developer yet of these changes, now would be a good time to do so.
I want to maintain this for F12 as well. Also I have a F12 installation and so it will be easier for me to test the packages. So the python macros are necessary and so are the %clean and the buildroot cleanup in the %install section. Tested build on F-13 as well.
I am taking this package up for review.!

Updated Spec file http://sherry151.fedorapeople.org/python-plwm.spec http://sherry151.fedorapeople.org/python-plwm-2.7-0.3.rc1.fc13.src.rpm Reverting back to the name python-plwm as it is not a Window manager by itself and is rather a python module.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
