Spec Name or Url: http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/jpo/software/fedora/perl-Text-Template.spec SRPM Name or Url: http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/jpo/software/fedora/perl-Text-Template-1.44-1.src.rpm Summary : Expand template text with embedded Perl Description : This is a library for generating form letters, building HTML pages, or filling in templates generally. A 'template' is a piece of text that has little Perl programs embedded in it here and there. When you 'fill in' a template, you evaluate the little programs and replace them with their values.
Review: - rpmlint clean - naming of package and spec is fine - meets packaging guidelines - license is same as perl, text included in package - spec file written in English and is legible - sources match upstream - builds ok on FC4 and in mock for devel - no locale data, libraries, pkgconfig, subpackages etc. to worry about - not relocatable - no directory ownership issues - no duplicate files - permissions OK - %clean section present and correct - macro usage is consistent - code, not content - no large docs - docs don't affect runtime Needswork: BuildRequires: perl >= 1:5.6.1 perl is listed as being part of the minimal build environment in the packaging guidelines, so this BR appears to be redundant. The explicit version requirement doesn't seem to comes from the module itself. Nitpick: " || :" after %check isn't really needed for an Extras package, unless you're aiming for backwards specfile compatibility with legacy distros.

IIRC it is related to vendor directories. > Nitpick: > > " || :" after %check isn't really needed for an Extras package, unless you're > aiming for backwards specfile compatibility with legacy distros. Also from old Fedora.US/Extras perl template. I have already changed my perl specfile generation script to not include it. Future new perl module specfiles won't have it (present ones still have it).
I'm happy enough with this to approve it, but please do tidy it up in CVS :-)
OK. I will update it in CVS. But the other 40+ perl modules I maintain it will take much longer ;)
Closing ticket. 456 (perl-Text-Template): Build on target development succeeded.
