Bug 992963

Hi,

I would say there is no need for the -devel rpm.

The instructions point to trunk. That's not a big problem, since the tar.gz you specify is the right one, but those steps won't allow anyone to get the same snapshot as you used. It would be better if you specify the revision.

Do not have a dependency on fts-libs with the release number. The release number may be increased externally (i.e. rebuild because of a boost change, as actually happened), and then you got your dependencies broken for no reason.

Spec URL: https://grid-deployment.web.cern.ch/grid-deployment/dms/fts3/epel_release/fts-mysql.spec

SRPM URL: https://grid-deployment.web.cern.ch/grid-deployment/dms/fts3/epel_release/fts-mysql-3.1.1-1.el6.src.rpm

- the '-devel' rpm has been removed
- now the instruction points to the tag with the right snapshot 
- fts-lib dependency has been removed

Two more things:

- Do not detail the changes done by upstream in the spec file's changelog. Only changes that apply to the packaging itself belong there.
You can add a link to upstream's changelog if you wish, though.

- /usr/share/doc/fts3/ isn't owned by anybody, and the rpm is putting files there.
Additionally, those files _are_ needed for the rpm to work properly, since they are the sql files needed to initialize the db.

"""Also, if a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the runtime of the packaged application(s). To summarize: If it is in %doc, the included programs must run properly if it is not present."""

My suggestion: move them to /usr/share/fts-mysql/, and remember to own the directory.

Thanks for your comments.

- changelog has been cleaned
- sql scripts have been moved to datadir as you suggested
