Description:

Dotbot makes installing your dotfiles as easy as 'git clone $url && cd dotfiles && ./install', even on a freshly installed system. It is designed to be lightweight and self-contained, with no external dependencies. Dotbot can also be a drop-in replacement for any other tool you were using to manage your dotfiles.

rpmlint output (SRPM):
python-dotbot.src: E: spelling-error ('dotfiles', 'Summary(en_US) dotfiles -> dot files, dot-files, defiles')
python-dotbot.src: E: spelling-error ('dotfiles', '%description -l en_US dotfiles -> dot files, dot-files, defiles')
python-dotbot.src: E: spelling-error ('url', '%description -l en_US url -> URL, URLs, Ural')
python-dotbot.src: E: spelling-error ('cd', '%description -l en_US cd -> CD, Cd, CAD')
python-dotbot.spec: W: no-%check-section

rpmlint output (binary RPM):
python3-dotbot.noarch: E: spelling-error ('dotfiles', 'Summary(en_US) dotfiles -> dot files, dot-files, defiles')
python3-dotbot.noarch: E: spelling-error ('dotfiles', '%description -l en_US dotfiles -> dot files, dot-files, defiles')
python3-dotbot.noarch: E: spelling-error ('url', '%description -l en_US url -> URL, URLs, Ural')
python3-dotbot.noarch: E: spelling-error ('cd', '%description -l en_US cd -> CD, Cd, CAD')
python3-dotbot.noarch: W: no-manual-page-for-binary dotbot

All spelling errors are false positives: "dotfiles" is the standard domain term, "url" and "cd" are shell command/variable references in example text. Upstream does not provide a man page for the dotbot binary.

Test:
%check is disabled because tests require filesystem symlink operations and a real home directory that are unavailable in the mock build environment.
