I take the review

Comment 2 Michael Cronenworth 2014-12-30 16:44:12 UTC
It looks like Lameire Alexis took this in the middle of my review. I will post my review results anyway. If Mr. Alexis wants to back out, I will take over.

SHOULD, but not must, fix
-------------------------
- Ask upstream to include a copy of the GPL text
- Send patches upstream


MUST fix
--------
- License should be GPLv2+ instead of GPLv2

Comment 3 Lameire Alexis 2014-12-30 18:02:16 UTC
Cmake patch to disable the external library should be partialy rewrited. Insted of simply patching to use system library you should add a new option to let the user choice and send the patch to upstream. (blocker)


You should submit the flag patch to upstream (not a blocker)


cppmyth.x86_64: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US january -> January (blocker)


One file in BSD licence :
cppmyth-1.1.0.2/cppmyth/src/private/platform/windows/inttypes.h

GPLv2+ should be used, licence field should be "BSD and GPLv2+" (blocker)

Not blockers, just shoulds.

The header is not used to produce the final binary and is not part of the License of the package. Only GPLv2+ is necessary.

Comment 5 Lameire Alexis 2014-12-30 18:50:10 UTC
Ok, seen legit 
For the header, it's my fault. With double looking it's right.

With a new spec with the typo and the license issue, I approve it.
