Comment 1 Pavel Alexeev 2008-10-30 12:23:55 UTC
If it fuse filesystem may be name should be like "fuse-bind" or "fuse-bindfs"?

> If it fuse filesystem may be name should be like "fuse-bind" or "fuse-bindfs"?

There is nothing about fuse in the naming guidelines and there are already other fuse filesystems in Fedora that do not use fuse in their name, e.g.
curlftpfs
funionfs
obexfs

===Notes ===
1. Author's intent seems to be GPLv2+. Both the website and the bundled COPYING specify this, but the sources do not. I recommend getting in touch with the author and asking him to include the license in the source files.
2. There is no need to manually require fuse. rpmbuild already adds:
libfuse.so.2()(64bit)
libfuse.so.2(FUSE_2.2)(64bit)
libfuse.so.2(FUSE_2.5)(64bit)
libfuse.so.2(FUSE_2.6)(64bit)
3. Timestamps of the bundled docs are not preserved. Maybe you can fix that. The traditional INSTALL="install -p" did not work here but I might have made an errror during testing.

Package APPROVED but please solve before commit at least "Note 2" mentioned above.

Comment 5 Till Maas 2008-12-12 14:56:10 UTC
Thank you very much for this fast review, it was perfect timing, because upstream just fixed a bug this morning that hit me. :-D

- Using this makes it preserve the timestamp of the manpage:
%configure INSTALL="%{_bindir}/install -p"

- I filed a ticket upstream about the license:

http://code.google.com/p/bindfs/issues/detail?id=6

- The Requires: fuse is removed
