Description Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-10-17 18:33:25 UTC

Spec URL: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/new/nwsserver.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/new/nwsserver-1.5.2-1.fc10.src.rpm
Description: 
NetWorkSpaces (NWS) is a powerful, open-source software package that makes it
easy to use clusters from within scripting languages like Python, R, and
Matlab. It uses a Space-based approach, similar to JavaSpaces (TM) for
example, that makes it easier to write distributed applications. NWS looks and
feels like a conventional workspace in the base scripting language, enables
network script processes to share data, provides general distributed/parallel
script execution, runs network script processes either uncoupled or
coordinated, and dramatically increases developer productivity in implementing
and maintaining distributed applications because of its anonymous
communication.

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-03-06 15:25:13 UTC

rpmlint is silent.

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-03-06 15:34:30 UTC

+ rpmlint output
+ package name satisfies the packaging naming guidelines

Although implemented in python, this is just a general program,
and the name of the program is acceptable to Fedora.

+ specfile name matches the package base name
+ package should satisfy packaging guidelines

Also checked Python guidelines, and OK.

+ license meets guidelines and is acceptable to Fedora
+ license matches the actual package license
+ %doc includes license file

There isn't a license file, but %doc includes the nearest thing,
and all source files are marked with the license anyway.

+ spec file written in American English
+ spec file is legible
+ upstream sources match sources in the srpm

d321ae5fd3a363167ac27f7959b56c8a / 22331 bytes

+ package successfully builds on at least one architecture
n/a ExcludeArch bugs filed
+ BuildRequires list all build dependencies
n/a %find_lang instead of %{_datadir}/locale/*
n/a binary RPM with shared library files must call ldconfig in %post and %postun
+ does not use Prefix: /usr
+ package owns all directories it creates
+ no duplicate files in %files
+ %defattr line
+ %clean contains rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
+ consistent use of macros
+ package must contain code or permissible content
n/a large documentation files should go in -doc subpackage
+ files marked %doc should not affect package
n/a header files should be in -devel
n/a static libraries should be in -static
n/a packages containing pkgconfig (.pc) files need 'Requires: pkgconfig'
n/a libfoo.so must go in -devel
n/a -devel must require the fully versioned base
n/a packages should not contain libtool .la files
n/a packages containing GUI apps must include %{name}.desktop file
+ packages must not own files or directories owned by other packages
+ %install must start with rm -rf %{buildroot} etc.
+ filenames must be valid UTF-8

Optional:

? if there is no license file, packager should query upstream
n/a translations of description and summary for non-English languages, if available
+ reviewer should build the package in mock
+ the package should build into binary RPMs on all supported architectures
- review should test the package functions as described
n/a scriptlets should be sane
n/a pkgconfig files should go in -devel
+ shouldn't have file dependencies outside /etc /bin /sbin /usr/bin or /usr/sbin
