Bug 676941

(This is not normal review, because I am novice packager, but a bit of of
feedback):

1) host files somewhere other than 4shared.com - it's impossible to download them using wget :(
Public dropbox dir or hosting files on http://fedorapeople.org would work better :)

2) Source0 url: better use:
http://eiskaltdc.googlecode.com/files/eiskaltdcpp-%{version}.tar.bz2

3) unfortunately, %build step failed for me:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindOpenSSL.cmake:93 (MESSAGE):
  Could NOT find OpenSSL
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:70 (find_package)

4) I don't think you need this:
%install
rm -rf %{buildroot}

buildroot is always cleaned before %install step

5) Why does %dir do? I can't find it in guidelines/documentation anywhere - I don't think it's necessary.

6) change %doc to
%doc COPYING LICENSE
You could also add ChangeLog files in doc

7) update date in %changelog, it says February 2010 ;)

Actually, I was wrong about point (4). By looking at different reviews I see that is required after all.

It is not required, the reviews you have looked at have been performed incorrectly, were done a long time ago or were targeting EPEL.

I was misguided by last comment in this, quite recent, review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673919
(there is no mention in there, that it targets EPEL)
> At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf %{buildroot} - OK

Thanks for clarification, Jussi :)

Some more items:


> Requires:       gtk2 >= 2.10
> Requires:       glib2 >= 2.10
> Requires:       libglade2 >= 2.4
> Requires:       gettext
> Requires:       libeiskaltdcpp = %{version}-%{release}

For a Fedora Packager it is very important to understand rpmbuild's automatic dependencies on library SONAMEs.


> 5) What does %dir do?

It includes a directory (and just the dir, not any files within the dir) in the RPM package with proper ownership and permissions. 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:UnownedDirectories
Under certain circumstances, %dir and recursive inclusion of a directory compete with eachother with regard to adding an entry for the directory to the package.


> %files -f %{name}.lang
> %{_datadir}/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/eiskaltdcpp-gtk.mo

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Handling_Locale_Files


> %{_mandir}/man1/eiskaltdcpp-gtk.1.gz

Acceptable, but please notice that the gzip compression is applied by rpmbuild and may change. So, %{_mandir}/man1/eiskaltdcpp-gtk.1* would be safer.


> make install/strip DESTDIR=%{buildroot}

Please investigate what this "/strip" here does.


> rm -f %{buildroot}/%{_libdir}/libeiskaltdcpp.so.2.2
> rm -f %{buildroot}/%{_datadir}/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/libeiskaltdcpp.mo

Two commands that ask for an explanation in a comment.


> %{_datadir}/applications/eiskaltdcpp-gtk.desktop

No response from the submitter, and in addition I cannot download the spec or srpm at all.  Marking as notready; I'll close this if nothing reviewable appears soon.

Closing per #6. Feel free to reopen if you want to continue.
