Comment 1 Peter Lemenkov 2011-07-22 05:17:00 UTC
I'll review it (and sponsor you as well)

Comment 2 Nathan Owe 2011-07-22 15:06:43 UTC
Thanks, and also while I remember rpmlint didn't give a error on the SPEC/SRPM/RPM except missing enchant-dictiionary-not-found en_US, from which I heard installing it on my system will fix that error.

Comment 3 Peter Lemenkov 2011-07-24 09:52:36 UTC
I't almost ok exept what isn't :)

I made two patches (and rebased them all as well):

http://peter.fedorapeople.org/newlisp/

Patch #2 allows us to pass additional Fedora flags (in fact it overrides default newlisp's ones, so, please examine which additional flags are required for normal operation. For your info - I added them in comments above the line with 'make' invocation.

Also I properly claimed ownership on all directories and removed excessive stuff (no need to explicitly claim man-pages as %doc).

Please, take a look at this spec-file:

http://peter.fedorapeople.org/newlisp/newlisp.spec

and make sure that all these commented out gcc flags are not required (or otherwise):

# -pedantic -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-long

After you confirm that it does work with the current CFLAGS, I'll continue review.

Comment 4 Nathan Owe 2011-07-24 13:48:16 UTC
Confirming it does work fine. Also I have added the official man page that got revised in SCM after I submited the patch to one of the developers of the software.

Updated SPEC: http://github.com/ndowens/Fedora-Rpms/raw/master/SPECS/newlisp.spec
Updated SRPM: http://github.com/ndowens/Fedora-Rpms/raw/master/SRPMS/newlisp-10.3.2-2.fc15.src.rpm

sulaco ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES: 

+ The package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at least one primary architecture:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3226119

+ All build dependencies are listed in BuildRequires.
0 No need to handle locales.
0 No shared library files in some of the dynamic linker's default paths.
+ The package does NOT bundle copies of system libraries.
0 The package is not designed to be relocatable.
+ The package owns all directories that it creates.
+ The package does not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files listings.
+ Permissions on files are set properly.
0 The package DOESN'T have a %clean section, so it won't build cleanly on systems with old rpm (EL-4 and EL-5, not sure about EL-6). Beware.
+ The package consistently uses macros.
+ The package contains code, or permissible content.
0 No extremely large documentation files.
+ Anything, the package includes as %doc, does not affect the runtime of the application.
0 No C/CPP header files.
0 No static libraries.
0 No pkgconfig(.pc) files.
0 The package doesn't contain library files without a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so).
0 No devel sub-package.
+ The package does NOT contain any .la libtool archives.
0 Not a GUI application.
+ The package does not own files or directories already owned by other packages.
+ At the beginning of %install, the package runs rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
+ All filenames in rpm packages are valid UTF-8.

So the only issue is the "License" tag - please, fix it. This package is

APPROVED.
