Bug 565958

Is it also possible to create .conf files for the touchpad?

fdi files won't be used, starting at F-13, so your programm should also create a 10-synaptics.conf file.

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Input_device_configuration

Thanks. I did not know about this change however my brother mentioned about Ubuntu making a switch and i thought about this in Fedora.

I have to add this feature and i will. Thanks again

rpmlint -v of SPECfile and SRPM:

# rpmlint -v SynapticsConfig.spec SynapticsConfig-0.1.3-1.src.rpm
SynapticsConfig.spec:23: W: setup-not-quiet
SynapticsConfig.spec: W: no-cleaning-of-buildroot %install
SynapticsConfig.src: I: checking
SynapticsConfig.src:23: W: setup-not-quiet
SynapticsConfig.src: W: no-cleaning-of-buildroot %install
1 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 4 warnings.

It would appear that your .SPEC needs some cleanup....

1.  remove the %defines at the top for the version, name, release and put them directly in the corresponding tags (Name, Version, Release)
2. not 100% sure about the "unmangled_version" - suspect it needs to go away in favor of a straight "version"
3. It's complaining about the setup -n...... once you perform step 1 above, you can replace this simply with a %setup -q and the rpmlint warning disappears
4. the Source0 should be a publicly accessible URL to the source code I think rather than just the local filename
5. I think you need to leave out the Vendor tag
6.  the %install section needs to clean the buildroot -  rm -rf %{buildroot}

This is an initial pass at the SPEC.  I'll try to delve more into a review over the next day or two...

you'll need a "BuildRequires:" tag to include python and python-devel.  Without it, mock will not complete properly (mock can't find python interpreter)....

As-is without the BuildRequires: python python-devel ......

I think you're also going to need to decide if this is under GPLv2+ or GPLv3.  The SPEC states GPLv2+ and a "strings" on the embedded SynapticsConfig_pl_PL.qm denotes:

"Software is distributed under GPLv3 license
Copyright 2009 Michal Klich"

Whatever is decided, the license file needs to be included in the source and added to a %doc section in the SPECfile.

you should have a dist tag (Release: 1%{?dist}   )

also they'll need a koji scratch build completed with output included in the case here.

just a little note about the %files section...

the %defattr should be:  %defattr(-,root,root,-)

Please reference:  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingGuidelines#File_Permissions

Also, please change my item #6 in my first post to be "rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT" -for the %install - either that or use the macro style suggested - but of course then you will need to change the other occurences of $RPM_BUILD_ROOT in the SPEC.  They're looking for consistency - it doesn't matter which style, just that there is consistency.  

Please reference:  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingGuidelines#Macros

Thank you for your suggestions. 
I have altered my SPEC file and rebuilt SRPM file. Both are know hosted on http://rudebwoy.fedorapeople.org/. Please do not use locations from my first comment.

You realize that starting with f13, this setup will no longer work, right?

See: http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/02/fedora-rawhide-and-x-server-input.html

Given that, does it make sense to include this now? 
Or will upstream for this project set it up to work with the new /etc/xorg.conf.d/ ?

Thank you, i already know about this.
Well, i am working on version that would allow to configure touchpads in F13 and i think that it would be  nice to have this tool also in F12.
I want to have ability to support both versions.

Is there any point in moving forward with this given that F12 goes EOL in 2 weeks and we no longer accept new F12 packages?

No, there is none.

OK, I'll close this ticket.
