# MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec unless your package has an exemption.
- OK

# MUST: The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines .
- ok

# MUST: The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the Licensing Guidelines .
- OK

# MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license. 
- OK 

# MUST: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package must be included in %doc.[4]
- OK

# MUST: The spec file must be written in American English.
- OK

# MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible.
- IMHO OK

# MUST: The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source, as provided in the spec URL. Reviewers should use md5sum for this task. If no upstream URL can be specified for this package, please see the Source URL Guidelines for how to deal with this.
- OK

# MUST: The package MUST successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at least one primary architecture.

- OK, builded on 
uname -a
Linux fetaciq 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 23 23:37:54 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

# MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires
- OK

# MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the %find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden
- OK

# MUST: Every binary RPM package (or subpackage) which stores shared library files (not just symlinks) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths, must call ldconfig in %post and %postun.
- OK

# MUST: If the package is designed to be relocatable, the packager must state this fact in the request for review, along with the rationalization for relocation of that specific package. Without this, use of Prefix: /usr is considered a blocker.

- not relocatable package, OK

# MUST: A package must own all directories that it creates. If it does not create a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does create that directory. 
- OK

# MUST: A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files listings.
- OK

# MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be set with executable permissions, for example. Every %files section must include a %defattr(...) line.

# MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content.
- ok

# MUST: Large documentation files must go in a -doc subpackage. (The definition of large is left up to the packager's best judgement, but is not restricted to size. Large can refer to either size or quantity). 
- OK, no large files present

# MUST: If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the runtime of the application. To summarize: If it is in %doc, the program must run properly if it is not present. 
- OK

# MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package.
- no header files are installed by make install

# MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package.
- OK

# MUST: Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig' (for directory ownership and usability). 
- OK, no .pc files present

# MUST: If a package contains library files with a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so.1.1), then library files that end in .so (without suffix) must go in a -devel package. 
- OK

# MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}
- No devel package

# MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be removed in the spec if they are built.
-OK, removed during %install

# MUST: Packages containing GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop file, and that file must be properly installed with desktop-file-install in the 
%install section. 
- not gui

# 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). 
- OK

# MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8.
-OK
