Bug 711848

This shares the drumstick library with my kmid2 package. If you want to comaintain drumstick, just apply for it in pkgdb. (You can also comaintain kmid2 if you want.)

Your kmetronome.spec looks good at a first glance, but that's not a formal review: I or somebody else will have to run through the complete review checklist before approving it.

One remark: Are you sure the direct "BuildRequires: alsa-lib-devel" is needed? I think drumstick-devel should be sufficient.

I have request co-maintainership on drumstick.

OK, I will remove BR alsa-lib-devel in next update.

Just some more comments:

- The package doesn't build in mock because of missing BR gettext.

- Remove folder drumstick/ in %prep to ensure that the bundled library is not
  linked.

- The .desktop file must be properly installed/validated as described here:
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Desktop_files
  I'm not sure if there's an exception for KDE applications now.

- Drop %doc from the manpage. It's automatically tagged as doc file.

> I'm not sure if there's an exception for KDE applications now.

There isn't any. .desktop files in /usr/share/applications or its subdirectories are interpreted by all desktops, so they must be validated.

(In reply to comment #4)

OK, thanks for the info. In this case, some KDE packages (like kdbg, kst and krusader) are missing this validation by mistake.

I fixed Krusader (which I comaintain) in Rawhide. The others are not my packages, please file bugs.

SRPM URL: http://cheeselee.fedorapeople.org/kmetronome-0.10.0-2.fc15.src.rpm

Changes:
- Add kde4-macros(api) requirement
- BR: gettext and desktop-file-utils added, alsa-lib-devel removed
- Check the desktop entry file
- Drop explicit %%doc tag from the manpage

The package looks almost fine. There are just two things left to be fixed:

- correct the typo in %prep: drumstikc/ -> drumstick/

- add the missing scriptlets to update the icon cache:
