Bug 226202

rpmlint on SRPM:

Unversion obsoletes for mozilla-nspr and mozilla-nspr-devel.  Probably want to
correct this.

nspr.src: E: no-cleaning-of-buildroot %install
You should clean $RPM_BUILD_ROOT in the %clean section and just after the
beginning of %install section. Use "rm -Rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT".

MUST fix this.

nspr.src: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 13, tab: line 1)
The specfile mixes use of spaces and tabs for indentation, which is a
cosmetic annoyance.  Use either spaces or tabs for indentation, not both.

Cosmetic, but since you're making changes anyway. . .

There are no documentation files in either the main package or -devel.

If there are none, this is OK, which seems to be the case.

The Source0 tag lacks a URL, and I can't locate the appropriate tarball on the
upstream site, so I can't compare the upstream tarball and SRPM tarball.  If
this a modifed upstream tarball or cvs snapshot, please include a script that
creates this tarball from upstream.

Otherwise, it looks pretty good, no other blockers.

It obsoletes *any* mozilla-nspr package, because we've stopped shipping NSPR as
part of the mozilla packages, but started to ship it as a standalone package.

Do you still think a version number must get included?
I would have to research which version number was last, at some point before FC6.
Would it have to be the exact version number?

The %clean section already has a rm statement.
I've changed it to use uppercase -R
I've added it to the beginning of the %install section.

I looked at all the files this command produced.

./nsprpub/pr/src/threads/combined/README
./nsprpub/lib/libc/README
./nsprpub/lib/libc/src/README
These look like a developer oriented quick dump of thoughts from 1996/7, but
they don't seem to be worthy to be called "documentation".

I've added a comment that points to the download directory where official
releases are available.
Sometimes we do package non-release snapshots. If we do, there is no matching
tarball available, but it always will be based on a CVS tag (the changelog shall
make it clear what CVS tag is being used).

I think the above should be sufficent, once committed to cvs. :)

Any updates?

All changes addressed, approved.

Might want to fix
nspr-debuginfo.i386: W: spurious-executable-perm /usr/src/debug/nspr-4.7.1/dist/include/nspr/prvrsion.h
The file is installed with executable permissions, but was identified as one
that probably should not be executable.  Verify if the executable bits are
desired, and remove if not.

but I won't hold up the review on it.
