Spec Name or Url: http://www.kobold.org/~wart/fedora/tclhttpd.spec SRPM Name or Url: http://www.kobold.org/~wart/fedora/tclhttpd-3.5.1-2.src.rpm MD5SUMS: http://www.kobold.org/~wart/fedora/MD5SUM.asc Description: TclHttpd is a Web server implemented in pure Tcl. It works out of the box as a Web server, but is really designed to be a Tcl application server. It supports HTML+Tcl templates, and is extensible in a variety of ways.
Needs work. %prep fails at autoreconf, you'll need autoconf as a BuildRequires You will need to register the tclhttpd user. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageUserCreation
Created attachment 121279 [details] rpmlint ouptut
I tried adding an entry for the tclhttpd user on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageUserRegistry, but I don't have edit permission on that page. New spec file is available at: http://www.kobold.org/~wart/fedora/tclhttpd.spec This spec file cleans addresses the problems mentioned above, and cleans up some of the rpmlint warnings. I think that the rest of the remaining rpmlint warnings can be ignored for the following reasons (feel free to disagree and/or suggest workarounds): E: tclhttpd non-standard-uid /etc/tclhttpd tclhttpd E: tclhttpd non-standard-gid /etc/tclhttpd tclhttpd - Yes, it is a non-standard uid. This is a new uid created by the package so that the tclhttpd server doesn't have to run as root. W: tclhttpd hidden-file-or-dir /var/www/tclhttpd/htdocs/status/.tclaccess - Yes, these are hidden by design. The .tclaccess files are the tclhttpd equivalent of .htaccess files, except that they use tcl code for access control instead of standard .htaccess syntax. W: tclhttpd hidden-file-or-dir /var/www/tclhttpd/htdocs/templates/.tml - These are also hidden by design. .tml files are library template files that are loaded for all tcl application scripts in the current directory. E: tclhttpd htaccess-file /var/www/tclhttpd/htdocs/htaccess/.htaccess - This is not apache, but it allows the use of .htaccess files for access control. This error only pertains to apache .htaccess files. E: tclhttpd executable-marked-as-config-file /var/www/tclhttpd/htdocs/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi - The tclhttpd content directory /var/www/tclhttpd contains a default wwwroot that can be customized. Since these files can be customized after installation, they must not be replaced during an upgrade, thus, they are marked as %config(noreplace). This also includes a few cgi scripts which are triggering this error. E: tclhttpd zero-length /var/www/tclhttpd/htdocs/empty.html - Intentionally empty file used for web page layouts. E: tclhttpd script-without-shellbang /usr/bin/httpdthread.tcl - This isn't really meant to be invoked directly, but is instead sourced by the real startup script /usr/bin/tclhttpd. W: tclhttpd log-files-without-logrotate /var/log/tclhttpd - tclhttpd has its own builtin log rotation system. W: tclhttpd dangerous-command-in-%preun rm W: tclhttpd dangerous-command-in-%postun rm - Any better suggestions on how to get rid of these runtime files? I'm inclined to ignore this.

That sounds to me like the script should not be executable, and not installed in /usr/bin.
Good point about httpdthread.tcl. I've moved it to /usr/share/tclhttpd3.5.1. New files can be found at: http://www.kobold.org/~wart/fedora/tclhttpd.spec http://www.kobold.org/~wart/fedora/tclhttpd-3.5.1-5.src.rpm http://www.kobold.org/~wart/fedora/MD5SUM.asc

- package meets naming guidelines - package meets packaging guidelines - license (BSD) OK, text in %doc - spec file legible, well commented - source matches upstream - package compiles and runs on FC4 i386 - no missing BR - no unnecessary BR - no locales - not relocatable - no duplicate files (man page does not conflict with httpd either) - %clean ok - code, not content - no need for -docs - nothing in %doc affects runtime - no need for .desktop file - tclhttpd uid/gid registered - chkconfig compatible init script Macro use isn't entirely consistent, tclhttpd in some places and %{name} others, but not a blocker rpmlint still complains about tclhttpd user and group, .htaccess files, and hidden .tclaccess files, but these can be ignored for the reasons described in comment 3 APPROVED
