Bug 576724

Oh, you made a new review. Assigning.

*** Bug 226375 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

$ rpmlint rng-tools-*
rng-tools.src: W: invalid-url Source0: http://download.sourceforge.net/gkernel/rng-tools-2.tar.gz HTTP Error 404: Not Found

- Change
 Requires:       /sbin/chkconfig /sbin/service
to
 Requires: chkconfig initscripts
to speed up dependency resolution.

- Patch1 but no Patch0?

- Must Obsoletes: rng-utils <= 1:2.0-4 .

- Source URL should be
 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gkernel/rng-tools-2.tar.gz
not
 http://download.sourceforge.net/gkernel/rng-tools-2.tar.gz
Ideally %{version} macro should be used here.

- %configure picks up correct compiler flags.
 make CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS"
should be
 make %{?_smp_mflags}
to enable SMP compilation.

- Macros are mixed. After correction of above (make) problem, there aren't any macro problems any more.

- You can drop
 mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_sbindir}
 mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_initrddir}
 mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/sysconfig
 mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_mandir}/man{1,8}
as this is (or at least should be!) automatically done by make install.

- If you
 %define _sbindir /sbin
at the top of the spec file, you can use plain %configure and %{_sbindir} in
%files.

- You might want to change the .gz suffixes of the man pages to .* in %files.

- Add AUTHORS, ChangeLog, COPYING, NEWS and README to %doc.

Addressed these comments.  Thanks for the review.

Updated SPEC (same URL): http://gtf.org/garzik/rng-tools/rng-tools.spec
Updated SRPM: http://gtf.org/garzik/rng-tools/rng-tools-2-2.fc11.src.rpm

- The sbindir define should actually be a global.

- The buildroot tag is obsolete, use
 BuildRoot: %(mktemp -ud %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-XXXXXX)
instead.

How does one make the sbindir define global?

Just use %global instead of %define.

Thanks.  Updated for your comments, here is the latest:

Spec URL: http://gtf.org/garzik/rng-tools/rng-tools.spec
SRPM URL: http://gtf.org/garzik/rng-tools/rng-tools-2-3.fc11.src.rpm

Still approved. Continue by applying for cvs branch, marking rng-utils as dead in cvs and requesting its removal from rawhide.
