Bug 226434

It's about time someone reviewed this, isn't it?  Rpmlint shows some things that need to be fixed.

star.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/doc/star-1.5/AN-1.5
star.spec:84: E: hardcoded-library-path in %{_prefix}/lib
star.spec:201: W: macro-in-%changelog files
star.spec: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 36, tab: line 51)
2 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 4 errors, 3 warnings.

The first warning is triggered because of some ISO8859-1 characters in the file.  Please convert that file to UTF-8.

The second warning is harmless.

To fix the third warning, change "%files" to "%%files" in the changelog entry of Fri Aug 26 2005.

Please also fix the fourth warning by using either spaces or tabs, but not both.

Thanks for taking this merge review.

-Relevant rpmlint warnings fixed (rm .%{_prefix}/lib kept)

-Comments on patches added - although it is SHOULD and not MUST item to have commented patches, it could be useful and star has not so many patches - so no problem with this...

-Buildroot from spec file is no longer used by newer rpm, so this is harmless too - anyway, fixed for sanity...

Built as star-1.5-7.fc12.

Looks good.  APPROVED.
