Bug 464308

I would have allowed rpmbuild to compress the man page, but I guess that your method works too. 
A couple of questions :
- Why did you trim the sources list and not use the one included in the package?
- Where did you get the license tag from? I see no mention of a specific license anywhere in the tarball or on the project's web site. If there is none, I am afraid that (please correct me if I am wrong) I cannot approve your package until you get a clarification from the author (either via mail or by releasing an updated version)

=== Issues ===
1. License tag
     License type as declared by our spec : GPLv2
     License type as declared by the sources : I have not find any place specifying it
Could you please explain why did you use GPLv2 as license?
2. Your last line in %files packages only the folders below /var/spool/apt-mirror but not the directory itself, thus leaving it unowned.
3. There is no need for perl as a specific "Requires". rpmbuild adds /usr/bin/perl automatically.

hi manuel

1. the mirror.list in the source is too old...
sarge is the current oldstable and I would rather work with releases than with codenames
oldstable = sarge
stable = etch
testing = lenny
in a few weeks (or months we don't know it) is lenny stable and sarge will run out of support
oldstable = etch 
stable = lenny
testing = squeeze


2. the license is not tricky ;-)
----
This package was debianized by Dmitry N. Hramtsov <hdn> on
Sat, 27 Jul 2002 12:44:33 +0700.

It was downloaded from http://apt-mirror.sourceforge.net/

Upstream Author(s): Dmitry N. Hramtsov <hdn>

Copyright: GPLv2
----
This is from the tarball of version 0.3.0; the first public version.
The upstream author and the debian package author is the same person :-)
no changes to the current release


3. Removed "Requires: perl"


4.Correct %files-section


5. I don't know a better way to extract a manpage from a perl script


6.
SPEC (updated):

SRPM:

OK to replies 1, 3-5.
Yet I still fail to see where is the license specified. Whatever it was at version 0.3.0, you have packaged 0.4.5 and despite reading once again the source and the web site, I cannot locate a single place referencing a license. The closest thing that I could find is http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/a/apt-mirror/apt-mirror_0.4.5-1/apt-mirror.copyright, but as this is just _related_ to the package and not included as such... I do not know what to say. Calling in fedora-legal for help.

The sourceforge project page at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/apt-mirror/

states that the license is GPL. Maybe you should contact the author at hdn.ru to get him to clear up the license on the project website.

  I have no doubt that the application is GPL, otherwise Debian would not have claimed that on their server. But AFAIK we need a clear proof for that (if I am mistaken, please correct me and I will gladly approve the package. I jumped into the review less than an hour after submission because I WANT it in Fedora).
  Not to mention that GPL has several flavors and the license tag in the spec must specify the correct one.

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/a/apt-mirror/apt-mirror_0.4.5-1/apt-mirror.copyright is enough proof of licensing (GPLv2+), because the debian package maintainer is the same as upstream.

You need to update the licensing tag to reflect this (currently, you have GPLv2, which is not correct).

You should still email the author and ask him to include a proper license attribution in the header of the apt-mirror script, and a copy of the GPL (COPYING).

Lifting FE-Legal.

package APPROVED. please do not forget to change the license tag to GPLv2+ before uploading to CVS
