Bug 461429

Only minor issue I see:

rpmlint /var/lib/mock//fedora-9-i386/result/*rpm
zsync.i386: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/doc/zsync-0.5/README

Can be fixed with iconv

Otherwise builds and runs well for me on fedora 9 and rawhide.

Hello again, I'm doing a preview. This is not a full review, as I am not sponsored yet, but it should help get it in shape.

FIX - MUST: rpmlint, zsync.i386: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/doc/zsync-0.5/README
OK - MUST: package named according to the Package Naming Guidelines
OK - MUST: package %{name} matches spec in the format %{name}.spec
FIX - MUST: Packaging guidlines, zlib is in the source, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Duplication_of_system_libraries
OK - MUST: Fedora approved license
FIX - MUST: The License field must match the actual license. It looks like they're actually using Artistic 2.0
OK - MUST: package includes the text of the license(s) in in %doc.
OK - MUST: The spec file must be written in American English.
OK - MUST: Spec file is legible
OK - MUST: The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source 08beaf3fa95f16d8a2db2f7f3ea21196
OK - MUST: The package must successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at least one supported architecture.
OK - MUST: No excludes needed
FIX - MUST: Dependencies, add zlib to BuildRequires when you patch it to not use the one in the source
OK - MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly.
OK - MUST: The package is not designed to be relocatable
OK - MUST: A package must own all directories that it creates.
OK - MUST: A package must not contain any duplicate files in the %files listing.
OK - MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly.
OK - MUST: Each package must have a %clean section
OK - MUST: Each package must consistently use macros
OK - MUST: The package contains code
OK - MUST: No large documentation files for a -doc subpackage
OK - MUST: Files in %doc don't affect the runtime of the application
OK - MUST: The package does not contain any .la libtool archives ( once zlib is gone )
OK - MUST: Console app, no .desktop needed
OK - MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages.
OK - MUST: At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf %{buildroot} ( or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT ). See Prepping BuildRoot For %install for details.
OK - MUST: All filenames in the package are valid UTF-8
OK - SHOULD: Builds in mock
OK - SHOULD: The package compiles on all arch
OK - SHOULD: Package runs as described

So it still needs a little work.

Action items:
  - Can you please check out the license and confirm that it is indeed artistic 2.0?
  - The one warning on rpmlint as mentioned before
  - You would have to take care of the zlib situation to get this to pass review

Hope this helps! Once again, not a full review.

@ Debarshi:
Sorry for "stealing" your review, but I promised to finish John's pre-review for educational purposes before I sponsor him. I hope you don't mind.

@ John:
Sorry I missed your review because you CC'ed me after you did it. Most things look good so far, nevertheless here is a complete re-review. Here we co

REVIEW FOR 180523f1a837f61076563cef5929f72d  zsync-0.5-1.fc9.src.rpm
FIX - MUST: rpmlint /var/lib/mock/fedora-rawhide-i386/result/zsync-*
zsync.i386: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/doc/zsync-0.5/README
3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.
Although this is minor please fix with iconv as John said in comment #1

OK - MUST: The package is named according to the Package Naming Guidelines
OK - MUST: The spec file name matches the base package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Duplication_of_system_libraries

    - NEWS is missing from %doc

OK - MUST: The package is licensed with a Fedora approved license (Artistic License v2) and meets the Licensing Guidelines

FIX - MUST: The package does not consistently use macros. Use

    because then you only need to change the version tag on updates

No problem. I got a bit busy with fixing some of my packages before the freeze deadline, so it is good that you took it. :-)

Ian, is there anything we can do for you to get this review going again?

*** Bug 478617 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Hopefully Ian will react soon, otherwise we might as well close this bug and reopen #478617

Closing this bug now in favor of bug # 478617 because Fabian still wants to maintain the package.
