SRPM Name or Url: http://www.kobold.org/~wart/fedora/tcldom-3.0-2.src.rpm
Description: 

tcldom provides DOM bindings for the Tcl scripting language.  It provides DOM processing based on either a pure-tcl implemention or using the gnome libxml2 library.

Comment 2 John Mahowald 2005-12-13 21:46:50 UTC
- package meets naming guidelines
- package meets packaging guidelines
- license (BSD) OK, text in %doc, matches source
- spec file legible, in am. english
- source matches upstream
- package compiles on FC4 i386
- no missing BR
- no unnecessary BR
- no locales
- not relocatable
- owns all directories that it creates
- no duplicate files
- permissions ok
- %clean ok
- macro use consistent
- code, not content
- no need for -docs
- nothing in %doc affects runtime
- no need for .desktop file 

- devel package ok
- devel requires base package n-v-r 

However,
- Have you tested this on 64 bit? %{_libdir} may prove problematic
- BuildRoot should be cleaned at the beginning of %install. 
- A bunch of compiler warnings, particularly in tcldomlibxml2.c. Be sure to tell
upstream about this, and show them your patch.

Comment 3 Wart 2005-12-13 23:43:47 UTC
My primary development machine is dual x86_64, and I haven't noticed any build
or runtime problems with %{_libdir}.  But I did notice a minor problem loading
the pure-tcl dom library that has been fixed in an updated patch in this next
package.

BuildRoot is now cleaned at the beginning of %install

All patches have been sent upstream, and I've notified the upstream developers
about the compiler warnings.  Upstream doesn't release new packages very often,
so I don't expect to see them adopt the patches anytime soon.

New spec file and src rpm:
