Created attachment 135122 [details]
file lists of geda-symbols

First review.

1. From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines :

  * Timestamps 
    - Well, it seems this package has many text files. So 
    preserving timestamps is very desirable. 
    Try to change "make install" option so that (perhaps) 
    most files can keep timestamps. In xscreensaver case (I maintain
    xscreensaver), I use 

	  make INSTALL="install -p" install

    Check if this package accepts such options, or, if not,
    change Makefile so that install command is used with -p option.

  * File and Directory Ownership

  - %{_datadir}/gEDA/scheme
    %{gedadocdir}/man

    I don't know why these empty directories needs to be 
    included in this package. 

    Usually if other packages install
    some files in these directories, it is the package
    which should own these directories, not this package. However,
    * if you aim to sumbit other packages and
    * the packages install some files in that directories and
    * the packages surely requires this package,
    these directories can be owned by this package.

    Let me know your opinion about these directories.

2. From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines :
   okay.

3. Other things I have noticed :


  - Consider if /usr/share/gEDA/docs can be moved
    to usual document files' location, i.e.
    /usr/share/doc/geda-symbols-%{version}

  - I will attach the file entry of geda-symbols rebuilt in
    mock. Please check if all files you want to install in
    this package are correctly packaged.

---------------------
BTW, could you review my package (bug 204461) ? Again, this package
is aimed for Japanese users......

It accepts "-p" ::)
make INSTALL="install -p" install DESTDIR=%{buildroot}

Actually geda-gsymbols are required by geda-gschem geda-gsymcheck geda-doc
geda-gattrib geda-gnetlist geda-utils.
And all these are required by geda which is a suite.  (though i haven't YET
included them as Requires in the geda package)

Hence these act as a centralised repository for geda.

Yes, everything is included :) luckily

Updated:
SPEC: http://chitlesh.googlepages.com/geda-symbols.spec
SRPM: http://chitlesh.googlepages.com/geda-symbols-20060123-4.src.rpm

Okay.

Now this package is APPROVED by me.

Closing as it seems that geda-symbols is released
under FE-5, FE6-devel.

Well...

A problem of owning the directory %{_datadir}/gEDA/bitmap
between geda-symbols <-> geda-gsymcheck
        geda-symbols <-> geda-gschem .

I reopen this bug to fix directory owning problem.

# geda-symbols is the Owner of the following directories
#%dir %{_datadir}/gEDA
#%dir %{_datadir}/gEDA/bitmap
#%dir %{_datadir}/gEDA/docs
#%dir %{_datadir}/gEDA/docs/man
#%dir %{_datadir}/gEDA/examples
#%dir %{_datadir}/gEDA/scheme

fixed.
