Description Andreas Thienemann 2006-03-29 22:25:40 UTC
Spec Name or Url: http://home.bawue.net/~ixs/perl-Authen-Radius/perl-Authen-Radius.spec
SRPM Name or Url: http://home.bawue.net/~ixs/perl-Authen-Radius/perl-Authen-Radius-0.12-1.src.rpm
Description:
This is RadiusPerl version 0.11. RadiusPerl is a Perl 5 module (Radius.pm)
which allows you to communicate with a Radius server from Perl. You can
just authenticate usernames/passwords via Radius, or comletely imitate
AAA requests and process server response.

Comment 1 Jason Tibbitts 2006-04-08 01:14:54 UTC
I'm not a Radius user but I can do a review.  The package builds fine in mock
(devel branch) and rpmlint is silent.

Issues:
BuildRequires: perl is not allowed; cpanspec should be able to generate a proper
specfile that doesn't do this.
There's no point in the BuildRequires: for perl(IO) and perl(Digest::MD5) as
these are part of base perl, but I don't supposed there's any harm in keeping
them.  The only thing that's strictly necessary is
BuildRequires: perl(Data::HexDump)

Review:
* package meets naming and packaging guidelines.
* specfile is properly named, is cleanly written, uses macros consistently and
conforms to the Perl template.
* license field matches the actual license.
* license is open source-compatible.  It's not included separately in the
package, but this is not necessary as the upstream tarball does not include it.
* source files match upstream:
   8427f931a4e0e689ecf8ddf30e5a0ea7  RadiusPerl-0.12.tar.gz
   8427f931a4e0e689ecf8ddf30e5a0ea7  RadiusPerl-0.12.tar.gz-srpm
* package builds in mock.
X BuildRequires: perl not permitted.
* no shared libraries.
* package is not relocatable.
* owns the directory it creates.
* no duplicates in %files.
* file permissions are appropriate.
* %clean is present.
* code, not content.
* documentation is small, so no -docs subpackage is necessary.
* %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package.
* no headers.
* no pkgconfig files.
* no libtool .la droppings.
* not a GUI app.
* The package owns %{perl_vendorlib}/Authen, which will probably also be owned
by any module under the Authen:: namespace.  However, there are no dependencies
which could create this directory so there is no alternative but for this
package to own it.

Thx for the review.

Comment 3 Jason Tibbitts 2006-04-13 03:49:04 UTC
Looks good and builds properly.  BTW, you left the perl(IO) and
perl(Digest::MD5) buildreqs in, but this isn't a blocker.

APPROVED
