Description Christoph Wickert 2009-07-23 15:12:31 UTC
Spec URL: http://cwickert.fedorapeople.org/review/whaawmp.spec
SRPM URL: http://cwickert.fedorapeople.org/review/whaawmp-0.2.12.1-1.fc12.src.rpm
Description: Whaaw! Media Player is written in pygtk and will play any audio/video files that GStreamer can play. It supports fullscreen mode, seeking, changing video colour settings and more. It is intended to be a basic media player similar to totem but without any GNOME dependencies.

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2009-07-23 16:55:09 UTC
One small sugggestion, no need to mention the language in the apps' Summary, ie, 
Summary: Media Player
should be sufficient.

Comment 2 Christoph Wickert 2009-07-23 17:01:10 UTC
Agreed, but Media Player is a bit generic. How about "Media Player based on GStreamer" then?

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2009-07-23 17:17:50 UTC
I personally don't believe gst should be mentioned either, ie, describe the app, what it does, what distinguishes it without resorting to jargon or mentioning technical details like toolkits or media engines.  Just my $0.02

Comment 4 Christoph Wickert 2009-07-23 17:36:44 UTC
Lightweight Media Player

Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2009-08-04 09:56:45 UTC
And you can remove the mention of "Totem" (wrongly capitalised) in the summary as well, seeing that the author's description is factually wrong.

Ok, I will remove totem, but where is it capitalized?

Erm, sorry, I don't understand. What's wrong with it?

It's not, which is why it's wrong.

"similar to totem but without any GNOME dependencies"? It's not anything like Totem in terms of features, and the only somewhat GNOME-y dependency is GConf.

I see. I don't want to argue, but both the tarball and the package are not capitalized ether.

> It's not anything like Totem in terms of features, 

Agreed

> and the only somewhat GNOME-y dependency is GConf.

Please don't forget gnome-themes (why?) and control-center and evolution-data server (through totem-pl-parser) plus all their deps. Totem's dependency chain is rather long, at least in Fedora.

I will change summary and description as soon as somebody picks up this review.

P.S.: Bastien, would you mind replying to bug 488558, which is in NEEDINFO for 6 more than 6 weeks now? TIA!

No, and that's expected.

Because nobody bothered to file a bug, should really be gnome-icon-theme. Fixed in rawhide.

> and control-center

It doesn't.

>  and evolution-data
> server (through totem-pl-parser)

It doesn't either.

Answered there.

Comment 10 Peter Robinson 2009-08-06 14:38:10 UTC
I'll take this for review.

Comment 11 Jason Tibbitts 2009-08-10 23:36:07 UTC
Setting the fedora-review flag as that seems to have been overlooked.

Comment 12 Peter Robinson 2009-09-03 22:28:16 UTC
An initial review. The summary and description still need to be fixed. Other than that there's only a couple of small bits.

Reworked summary and description. Rpmlint is silent.

Ping.

Comment 15 Peter Robinson 2009-10-13 09:46:23 UTC
All looks OK. Still don't see why the package needs to own the below directory. If its needed by more than one package surely it should be added to one of the filesystem packages.

# We need to own this dir although it's already owned by Thunar
%dir %{_datadir}/thumbnailers/

APPROVED.

Agreed, but so long, we need to own it.
