Bug 614653

rpmlint on installed package:

# rpmlint libXcm
libXcm.x86_64: W: unused-direct-shlib-dependency /usr/lib64/libXcm.so.0.2.6 /usr/lib64/libXfixes.so.3
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.
[root@liet ~]# rpmlint libXcm-devel
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.

koji scratch build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2320286

I am not an approved reviewer but spec looks good beside two uneeded dependency:
graphviz & libGL-devel

Additional comment on spec:
Maybe it's good to add :
Requires(post): /sbin/ldconfig
Requires(postun): /sbin/ldconfig

* Naming is ok
* spec file correctly named
* Meets packaging guidelines
* Meets Licensing Guidelines MIT
* Does not install a desktop file, but should not (no program)
* Does install manual pages

Taking for review.

No, this is not needed. rpm will automatically add deps on executables specified with "%post -p" or "%postun -p".

You have added doxygen and graphviz as BuildRequires to build docs, but the generated docs don't appear in the final rpms. Why?

> %exclude %{_mandir}/man3/Xcm.3x.gz
Please add a comment to the spec file why this file is removed.

> %description
> The library allows to attach color regions to windows for color management.
Take a look at the included README file which has a slightly more elaborate description, perhaps you can use something from that.

The installed /usr/include/X11/Xcm.h includes <X11/Xlib.h> and <X11/Xatom.h>, which means that the -devel package needs to depend on the packages which provide the headers: libX11-devel and xorg-x11-proto-devel.

> %{_includedir}/*
This glob also makes the package own /usr/include/X11/ directory, but it looks like that the convention so far has been to have xorg-x11-proto-devel own the dir and the rest of the libX*-devel packages just depend on xorg-x11-proto-devel. I would not suggest to depend on xorg-x11-proto-devel solely for /usr/include/X11 directory ownership, but since this package already gets pulled in to solve header deps, it's better for libXcm-devel to not own this dir.

So, in summary, I'd suggest to add libX11-devel and xorg-x11-proto-devel to -devel Requires, and use %{_includedir}/X11/Xcm.h instead of the glob above.

Please address the issues mentioned here and I'll evaluate the package for final approval.

If you want to, you can change colour -> color (US spelling) before importing the package, but otherwise the warnings are harmless and can be ignored.

> Requires:       xorg-x11-xtrans-devel
! Looks like you copy-pasted the wrong package name. Please change it to Requires: xorg-x11-proto-devel as it's the *proto* package that contains X11/Xatom.h, not *xtrans*.

I trust that you fix this before importing the package. Besides that, the package looks good.

APPROVED

Thx, fixed locally.
