Bug 620898

Hi Damian,

your package looks almost fine. Just a few minor notes:

- remove "A" from the Summary

- drop "Requires: bluez-libs" (it's added automatically as a dependency)

- The manpage contains the invalid comment prefix ." instead of .\" 
  You can fix this with
  sed -i 's/^\." /.\\" /' nxtrc.1

- add file Readme.txt as %doc


$ rpmlint /var/lib/mock/fedora-13-x86_64/result/*.rpm
nxtrc.x86_64: E: explicit-lib-dependency bluez-libs
nxtrc.x86_64: W: manual-page-warning /usr/share/man/man1/nxtrc.1.gz 1: warning: `"' not defined
3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 1 warnings.


BTW, if you don't have a sponsor yet, I can sponsor you if you're willing to do two or three informal reviews of other packager's submissions in order to show a (basic) understanding of the packaging guidelines. This is important because you're allowed to formally review and approve packages, once you're sponsored.
If you're still interested in joining the packager group, let me know. :)

It would be really appreciated. I'll try to review some packages as well, but I'll probably need a little bit more time to have a possibility to be prepared appropriately to do that in accordance with the Package Review Guidelines.

Damian, the tarball in the SRPM doesn't match the upstream one:

$ md5sum nxtrc-2.3.tar.gz*
6066b8cad2dd78d8d3e76c30cf196451  nxtrc-2.3.tar.gz
d4be8bafe65e6336363a515ed5199ccc  nxtrc-2.3.tar.gz.upstream

Indeed, it looks that the author has changed the tarball in the meantime.
I'll contact author to avoid similar issue in the future.
