- Need to fix the above errors & warnings.
 * Summary is inexact: switchdesk also works for Fluxbox, FWVM, Icewm etc. Maybe generalize it to "A desktop environment switcher"? Fix also description.
 * Since url is missing and we are upstream add disclaimer from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL#We_are_Upstream

- Missing %doc: AUTHORS COPYING Changelog

- Enable smp make or add note if it doesn't work.

- Remove blank space from end of spec file.

ping??

- Consider adding INSTALL="install -p" to make install, to preserve time stamps.

- Source URL is incorrect.

this binany is backend and the user should not launch it. no manual page is needed. It's OK
> switchdesk-gui.noarch: W: no-documentation
there's no documentation atm, but i don't think it's a blocker for this review

fixed in switchdesk-4.0.9-7.fc13, you can download it from http://than.fedorapeople.org/

MUST:
- Desktop-file-validate must be run in %install, not in %check. See
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#desktop-file-install_usage

- The source URL works now, but is this a long-term solution? The sources should be moved to fedorahosted.org.

SHOULD:
- I usually like a bit more verbosity in %files; statements such as 
 %{_bindir}/*
and
 %{_mandir}/man1/*
can be a bit dangerous. You can easily fix this by changing them into
 %{_bindir}/%{name}*
and
 %{_mandir}/man1/%{name}*


The remaining issues are cosmetic. Please fix at least the MUST items before a cvs push. This package has been

APPROVED

fixed in 4.0.9-8.fc14

OK, the project (switchdesk) exists now in fedoraproject.org, but there's nothing there in the repo.

Anyway, I think we can close this now.
