rpmlint on SRPM: alchemist.src: E: non-utf8-spec-file /tmp/alchemist-1.0.37-2.fc8.src.rpm.5684/alchemist.spec The character encoding of the spec file is not UTF-8. Convert it for example using iconv(1). alchemist.src:10: W: prereq-use /sbin/ldconfig The use of PreReq is deprecated. In the majority of cases, a plain Requires is enough and the right thing to do. Sometimes Requires(pre), Requires(post), Requires(preun) and/or Requires(postun) can also be used instead of PreReq. alchemist.src:13: W: buildprereq-use libxml2 >= 2.3.8, libxslt >= 0.9.0, libxslt-devel >= 0.9.0 The use of BuildPreReq is deprecated, build dependencies are always required before a package can be built. Use plain BuildRequires instead. alchemist.src:14: W: buildprereq-use doxygen >= 1.2.7, python-devel, zlib-devel The use of BuildPreReq is deprecated, build dependencies are always required before a package can be built. Use plain BuildRequires instead. alchemist.src: W: summary-ended-with-dot A multi-sourced configuration back-end. Summary ends with a dot. alchemist.src: E: tag-not-utf8 %changelog The character encoding of the value of this tag is not UTF-8. alchemist.src: W: no-url-tag The URL tag is missing. All need fixing. rpmlint on RPMS: alchemist-devel.i386: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/lib/alchemist/blackbox/libforgeblackbox.so libforgeblackbox.so.0.0.0 The relative symbolic link points nowhere. Should be OK. In addition, the Source0 tag should include a URL, which should match what I'd find on the site in the URL. Static libs need to be in a -static package or dropped entirely. .la should be removed unless critically needed. Otherwise, looks good, no other blockers. Fixed in 1.0.37-4.fc9, except for: URL tag: there is no upstream URL for this project, and never has been. Dangling symlink: the devel package requires the main package, which provides the target of this symlink. There are many other packages that do the same thing. Ok on the symlink. A few of mine do that too. :) As for upstream, you'll need to get a spot on hosted.fp.org, and update this accordingly. Not worth the effort -- no new development should be made against alchemist. It is only kept around for the (very few) remaining packages that still use it. Ok, that makes sense. Document that in the Spec, approximately where the URL tag would be, and I'll be happy. I see that only s-c-httpd and s-c-netboot require this. What is replacing this, that these will be migrating to, just out of curiosity? Documented in spec. The replacement is for configuration tools to directly configure the files they are configuring. Beautiful. Thank you! APPROVED. |
