Oops.  Fixed :)

Comment 3 Jochen Schmitt 2007-06-21 16:50:34 UTC
Good:
+ Naming seems ok.
+ Package contains the most recent upstream version.
+ Tab ball matches with upstream.
+ License seems ok (Artistic 2.0)
+ Local build works fine.

Bad:
+ Rpmlint show following warnings for the source RPM:
W: parrot invalid-license Artistic 2.0
W: parrot strange-permission parrot.spec 0600
- Devel package contains static library
- Requires %{_libdir}/pkgconfig should changes into pkgconfig
- Package should contains BR flex and byacc
- A log of error from rpmlint on the binary RPM:
W: parrot invalid-license Artistic 2.0
W: parrot strange-permission parrot.spec 0600
- Mock build fails:
Parrot Version 0.4.13 Configure 2.0

Hello, I'm Configure. My job is to poke and prod your system to figure out
how to build Parrot. The process is completely automated, unless you passed in
the `--ask' flag on the command line, in which case it'll prompt you for a few
pieces of info.

Since you're running this program, you obviously have Perl 5--I'll be pulling
some defaults from its configuration.

I'm going to take over submission of this package, so I've opened a new bug.
