Bug 449879

This is my third package and I am still seeking a sponsor.

A zile package already seems to be in the distribution.

>A zile package already seems to be in the distribution.
distribution version is 2.2.19 and this on is 2.2.59 

It was packaged long time back and after pinging to maintainer there was no
response.
See:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-June/msg00023.html and 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447125

So, going by Non-responsive Maintainer Policy I have packaged zile and posted bug

Updated to 2.2.61

    + To preserve timestamps you could consider using:
      make install INSTALL="%{__install} -p" DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT

      https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Documentation the
      INSTALL file should not be distributed.

xx - Fedora approved license and meets Licensing Guidelines
    + Wrong value of License field.

xx - License field meets actual license
    + It should be GPLv3+ instead of GPLv3, since the license notice in the
      sources say:
      "GNU Zile is free software; ...

You know, I just committed to the existing zile package in the distribution (to fix up the license tag.)  Why don't you just add yourself as a comaintainer and then work on the package we have?

Fixed -- all above mentioned issues.

Package Name: zile

I contacted Rakesh by email about adding Zile to EPEL6, and offering to maintain it in EPEL if he didn't want to.  He replied that I was welcome to request and maintain the el6 branch, and also maintain the Fedora branches.

I've done a local build on Centos 6.3, which seems to work fine.
