Description:
Zypper is a command line package manager tool from SUSE,
who often describes it as the "world's most powerful
command line package manager".

BuildRequires, Recommends should be specified one-per-line, for legibility and diffability.

"who often describes" — this is gramatically incorrect, "SUSE" is not a "who". It would be nice to say something about the capabilities this package provides: "can be used to install and update ..." or so.

%description should be wrapped to ~72 columns.

Requires:       /usr/bin/python
→ not necessary, dependency is generated automatically.

Requires:       /usr/bin/perl
→ the same

%make_build in %tests should be moved to %build.

Works OK here. No major issues apart from some cosmetics.

That's nothing better about %_libexecdir/zypper compared to %_lib/zypper. Those two directories are on the same partition always, FHS says both are OK. IMHO %_libexecdir is just cargo-culting of a non-solution to a non-problem. One could even argue that this change is in violation of Fedora guidelines, because it's a divergence from upstream without a reason. It's your choice, but fwiw, I think you're doing it wrong ;)

Does it support python3? If yes, it would be better to use /usr/bin/python3 instead.

Ah, OK, it doesn't. Looking at the code made my eyes bleed.

[ ]: Package must own all directories that it creates.
     Note: Directories without known owners: /usr/share/doc/zypper,
     /etc/logrotate.d, /etc/zypp

> %{_sysconfdir}/bash_completion.d/zypper.sh
Please move that to %{_datadir}/bash-completion/completions/.

zypp-apt-get is a symlink to "aptitude". When you rename aptidue to zypp-aptitude, you need to update the symlink too.

zypp-aptitude is a perl program. You need build deps [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl#Build_Dependencies] and Requires [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl#Versioned_MODULE_COMPAT_Requires].

I've fixed up the Perl and bash completion issues.

As for the libexecdir thing, I intend to fix this correctly upstream in libzypp and zypper, and this is just to ensure things are sane before that lands.

+ license is acceptable
+ license is specified correctly (GPLv2+)
