Bug 589144

Sorry, I didn't see the older bug.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 582721 ***

Reopening - the "package review" and the "distribution" bug are tracked as separate items.

I took the EL6 spec, removed the cmake patch and added in a couple of patches that fix some install issues and also installs a few extra utilities (xml-rpc-api2cpp and xmlrpc_pstream).

Spec file: http://rcritten.fedorapeople.org/packagereview/xmlrpc-c.spec
SRPM: 
http://rcritten.fedorapeople.org/packagereview/xmlrpc-c-1.16.24-1201.1840.src.rpm

The package is not parallel buildable, new spec and srpm generated:

Spec file: http://rcritten.fedorapeople.org/packagereview/xmlrpc-c.spec
SRPM: 
http://rcritten.fedorapeople.org/packagereview/xmlrpc-c-1.16.24-1202.1840.src.rpm

Adding myself.  When xmlrpc-c lands in EL5, I can reconfigure cmake to use it.

The URL and Source0 entires need to be corrected.  I think the comment from the spec file:

"# generated by 'make svn-sources [SVN_VER=%version SVN_REV=%svnrev]'. Unfortunately,
# upstream does not tag versions so we must fetch from the branch and
# check which version was used for it    "

Is no longer correct.  The version used for this build can be downloaded from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlrpc-c/files/Xmlrpc-c%20Super%20Stable/1.06.24/xmlrpc-c-1.06.24.tgz/download



Here are the four errors from rpmlint:
/home/ayoung/rpmbuild/SPECS/xmlrpc-c.spec:16: W: macro-in-comment %version
/home/ayoung/rpmbuild/SPECS/xmlrpc-c.spec:16: W: macro-in-comment %svnrev
/home/ayoung/rpmbuild/SPECS/xmlrpc-c.spec:20: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 20, tab: line 1)
/home/ayoung/rpmbuild/SPECS/xmlrpc-c.spec: W: invalid-url Source0: xmlrpc-c-1.16.24.tar.bz2

I think they will all go away with removing the comment and correcting the URL

That URL is for the super-stable release, we want the stable release which is only available from SVN.

I fixed the comment and the white space issue. The warning about Source0 is going to need to be waived.

Spec file: http://rcritten.fedorapeople.org/packagereview/xmlrpc-c.spec
SRPM: 
http://rcritten.fedorapeople.org/packagereview/xmlrpc-c-1.16.24-1203.1840.src.rpm

Other than the above issues, RPM lint passes.

+ MUST: package named according to the Package Naming Guidelines
+ MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}
+ MUST: The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines .
+ MUST: The package licensed with a Fedora approved license and meets the Licensing Guidelines
+ MUST: The License field in the package spec file matches the actual license

= MATCHES

+ MUST: The package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at
least one primary architecture
 - tested on x86_64, no problems
0 MUST: If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on an
architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec in
ExcludeArch
+ MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any
that are listed in the exceptions section of the Packaging Guidelines
0 MUST: The spec file handles locales properly. This is done by using the
%find_lang macro
+ 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.
+ MUST: Packages must NOT bundle copies of system libraries
+ 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
+ MUST: 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
+ MUST: Package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files
listings
+ MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. Every %files section must
include a %defattr(...) line.
+ MUST: Each package must have a %clean section, which contains rm -rf
%{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
+ MUST: At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf %{buildroot}
(or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT)
+ MUST: Each package must consistently use macros
+ MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content
+ MUST: Large documentation files must go in a -doc subpackage
+ MUST: If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the runtime
of the application
+ MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package
0 MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package

- MUST: Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig'

Package -devel contains %_libdir/pkgconfig/*.pc files, but doesn't require pkgconfig.

+ 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
+ MUST: devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned
dependency: Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}
+ MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be
removed in the spec if they are built
0 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
+ MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other
packages
+ MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8

One MUST thing didn't pass. Otherwise, the package seems to be very clean.

Feel free to ignore my last comment. As I'm new to this review process thing, I've accidentally made xmlrpc-c review for Fedora rawhide.

Sorry for the noise.
