Bug 442787

I would like to point out that the license may change. It is currently being
investigated (see
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2008-April/msg00163.html).

Your spec has a lot of missing BR:
gettext perl(XML::Parser) gtk2-devel gnome-python2-applet

and it also has a problem with %files:
RPM build errors:
    File not found by glob:

It looks like you need to patch the install script to place files in the correct
folder, now it enforces /usr/lib (and fails on x86_64)

I have made a new fixed version:

Spec URL: http://krakoa.dk/fedora/hamster-applet.spec
SRPM URL: http://krakoa.dk/fedora/hamster-applet-0.1.7.4-1.fc9.src.rpm

Changes I have made:

- New upstream version
- Updated license (as per
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2008-April/msg00173.html)
- Added missing BuildRequires
- Correctly use python_sitelib instead of python_sitearch

I now correctly build on all architectures. I tested this using a koji scratch
build on dist-f9 (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=573875).

Seems OK now. There is a single warning from rpmlint:
  conffile-without-noreplace-flag /etc/gconf/schemas/hamster-applet.schemas
It is up to you to decide if it is worth marking that file as %config(noreplace)
(but I would do it)
S
For cosmetical reasons, please split the BR line in 2, so as to not exceed 80
columns (you now have 151)

I'll test the program a bit later and follow with a full review.

I have split up the BuildRequires into more lines.

In regards to the schema file I have been reading the packaging guidelines again
and (to me at least) it seems that the schema file isn't meant as a
user-editable configuration file. So I see two options: Either leave it like it
is (without the noreplace flag) or not mark it as a config file at all (which
gives the non-conffile-in-etc rpmllint warning).

I looked at deskbar-applet and gedit for instance, and they don't mark their
schema files with %config.

So unless you have any objections I have decided to not mark the schema file as
a config file.

New versions available here:

Spec URL: http://krakoa.dk/fedora/hamster-applet.spec
SRPM URL: http://krakoa.dk/fedora/hamster-applet-0.1.7.4-2.fc9.src.rpm

What's the proper way to start this app ? I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/hamster-applet/hamster-applet", line 28, in <module>
    import gtk, gnomeapplet
ImportError: No module named gnomeapplet

Also, as hamster-applet ships icons in the hicolor directory, it should have
"Requires: hicolor-icon-theme"

It is a panel applet, so the correct way to start it is to right click on a
gnome panel and add the Hamster applet.

The gnomeapplet should be provided by the gnome-python2-applet package - which I
mistakenly only have as a BuildRequires.

I have added a lot of Requires in the new version, so it should actually now
have a proper list of the packages required at runtime.

I have also added hicolor-icon-theme as a Requires.

New versions available here:

Spec URL: http://krakoa.dk/fedora/hamster-applet.spec
SRPM URL: http://krakoa.dk/fedora/hamster-applet-0.1.7.4-3.fc9.src.rpm

Sorry for the delay, switching from a minimal F8 to something in which gnome
works was a PIA.
