Description:
Sort::Versions allows easy sorting of mixed non-numeric and numeric strings,
like the 'version numbers' that many shared library systems and revision
control packages use. This is quite useful if you are trying to deal with
shared libraries. It can also be applied to applications that intersperse
variable-width numeric fields within text. Other applications can
undoubtedly be found.

Everything seems fine, except the License. Are you sure about 'GPL or Artistic'?
I believe it's only Artistic.

Allright. Makes sense.

Package is OK.

Comment 4 Paul Howarth 2005-08-17 12:52:30 UTC
Review:

- rpmlint clean
- naming of package and spec meets guidelines
- package meets guidelines
- license same as perl
- spec file written in English and is legible
- source matches upstream
- package builds ok in FC4 and in mock for devel (i386)
- no locales, libraries, subpackages, pkgconfigs etc. to worry about
- not relocatable
- no directory ownership issues
- no duplicate files
- permissions are fine
- %clean section present and correct
- macro usage is consistent
- code, not content
- no large docs
- docs don't affect runtime

Issues:

- rpmlint not clean:

E: perl-Sort-Versions non-executable-script
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/Sort/Versions.pm 0644
This script is not executable

I believe this is a spurious error caused by the shebang at the start of the
file, but you could get rid of it anyway by appending to %prep:

%{__perl} -ni -e 'print if (2 .. eof());' Versions.pm

or something equivalent.

- suggest adding README as %doc
- BR: perl redundant
- Finding empty .bs files not needed for noarch package

These can be addressed post-CVS.

I'm happy with this.

Approved.
