Spec URL: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~agoode/fedora/minirpc.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~agoode/fedora/minirpc-0.3-1.fc9.src.rpm
Description: miniRPC is a RPC library designed with modern systems in mind. It has a simple wire protocol to allow for future interoperability with other languages and systems.

I suggest addint INSTALL='install -p' to the make install line to 
keep header file timestamps.

Given that the date appears in doxygen generated files, you could
have a look at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/MultilibTricks
to avoid conflicts in multilib settings.

Everyting else looks good.

I could do this, but it doesn't seem to matter with multilib. Plus, one of the
headers is a generated file anyway, so the timestamps don't mean much. Is there
a reason for doing this?

Ok, I have fixed this:

For the file which is not generated the timestamp is an interesting 
information in any case.

For the generated file, it does matter if you install both arch and 
do a rpm -V.

there is also some simple related hints on 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/MultilibTricks

But since the doxygen files are generated too, I won't make it a
blocker.

The timestamps could be kept with (untested):

touch -c -r minirpc/minirpc.h.in minirpc/minirpc.h
touch -r CHANGES doc/html/*

No there isn't.

The time-stamps are technically completely irrelevant in the vast majority of
cases (like yours) - Some people refuse to understand this.




Comment 5 Patrice Dumas 2008-05-21 09:12:10 UTC
Anyway these are not blockers, only suggestions, so

* rpmlint is silent
* follow guidelines
* free software license included
* match upstream:
892e83621ee9f840a99f2707adbd2aa3  minirpc-0.3.tar.gz
* %files section right
* library properly packaged

I don't think it is useful to duplicate the README/CHANGES/COPYING
files in the -devel subpackage since it depends on the main package
and these files are already in the main package. I also won't make it 
a blocker.


APPROVED

Thanks for the review. I think your other suggestions are good, I will try to
incorporate them.
