Main issue: Offsite (https://github.com/mcrapet/plowshare-modules-legacy) said it "Plowshare legacy & unmaintained modules". So, it useless for packaging. Do you plan maintain that repository if author do not willing do that? It is stop issue.
As we discuss in mail list apparently you should choose different method of packaging that.

Comment 2 Elder Marco 2015-05-19 10:50:09 UTC
Hello Pavel, thank you!

[!]: Package must own all directories that it creates.
     Note: Directories without known owners: /usr/share/plowshare,
     /usr/share/plowshare/modules

Those directories belongs to plowshare package. Maybe, the package (and plowshare) must own the directory /usr/share/plowshare/modules. (?)


[!]: Each %files section contains %defattr if rpm < 4.4
     Note: %defattr present but not needed

I want to submit the package to EPEL. I think the section is needed in this case.

There are no tags or releases.

No, I don't. The core package depends on the modules, since it will not work without them. Thus, maintaining a base package without modules does not make any sense, in my opinion. This is the repository which users can install locally through plowmod.

Thank you!

Sure. And package listed as require.

For epel less then 7? Only epel 6 an early.

If upstream do not willing do them, it is OK to package just by commits.

Yes. EPEL 6.

OK.


Thank you!

Comment 6 Jason Tibbitts 2016-05-18 00:01:24 UTC
%defattr hasn't been needed since RHEL4.

Group:, BuildRoot: and %clean and the first line of your %install section are also not needed at all (on any release, including EPEL5).

Comment 9 Elder Marco 2021-08-04 15:53:25 UTC
Hi, 
Sorry for my late response. I've been busy working with new projects.

I really like plowshare, but I do not have time to mantain this package anymore. Feel free to take it, if you want.
