Issues:
spectool cannot fetch the upstream source; your Source: URL is wrong.  I think
it should be http://dl.sourceforge.net/parchive/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz, which
I'll assume is the proper upstream.

To help those of us who won't understand why we would need this software, could
you perhaps include a quick description of a PAR2 file in %description?

Please use the recommended BuildRoot:
%{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)

Please remove Distribution: SuSE 9.1.

I'm not sure about your Obsoletes: and Provides:, but I'll assume you have some
previous package history that requires this.  I'll ask the list for a bit of
guidance.

rpmlint complains:

You should remove the executable bits from these files in %build; otherwise RPM
thinks they're executables and sticks them in the debuginfo package.

Review:
* package meets naming and packaging guidelines.
X specfile is properly named but the preamble needs minor cleanup.  %prep and
below look good.
* license field matches the actual license.
* license is open source-compatible and is included in the package as %doc.
* source files match upstream:
   1551b63e57e3c232254dc62073b723a9  par2cmdline-0.4.tar.gz
   1551b63e57e3c232254dc62073b723a9  par2cmdline-0.4.tar.gz-srpm
* BuildRequires are proper.
* package builds in mock (development, x86_64).
X rpmlint has a few complaints
X final requires are sane; final provides 
* no shared libraries are present.
* package is not relocatable.
* creates no non-%doc directories.
* doesn't own any directories it shouldn't.
* no duplicates in %files.
* file permissions are appropriate.
* %clean is present.
O %check not present; no test suite upstream.
* code, not content.
* documentation is small, so no -docs subpackage is necessary.
* %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package.
* no headers.
* no pkgconfig files.
* no libtool .la droppings.
* not a GUI app.

Fixed, I think. I cannot reach dl.sourceforge.net at the present time. :-(

> you perhaps include a quick description of a PAR2 file in %description?

I modified it:
"par2cmdline is a program for creating and using PAR2 files. PAR2 files are
usually published in binary newsgroups, on Usenet. They apply the
data-recovery capability concepts of RAID-like systems to the posting and
recovery of multi-part archives. On Usenet, PAR2 files are posted together
with multi-part archives. par2cmdline can detect and repair dammaged files
using the corresponding PAR2 files."

Perhaps somebody can help me to correct my english. I declare the hunt of 
frenchisms opened! ;)

(I personnaly use it to repair files from binaries of Lost, season 2, which 
will not be on french TV until next year. But do not tell to anybody!)

Done.

Sorry! Done. As you can see, I have adapted an existing (and trivial) spec 
file.

I do not understand. parchive-1.1.4 exists in Fedora Extras 4. See
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/SRPMS/parchive-1.1-4.src.rpm

par2cmdline provides the same functionalities as parchive, and has a 
symlink /usr/bin/par->par2. That's why I made this couple of 
Obsoletes:/Provides: Perhaps I am wrong. I must admit that I am not totally 
used with such a trick.

Done.

Thanks for fixing things up.  I'll just respond point by point:

The source URL is good; Sourceforge often fails to respond for me, but things
usually start to work if you try long enough.

Let me try to fix up the %description a bit, using what's in the README:
----
par2cmdline is a program for creating and using PAR2 files to detect damage in
data files and repair them if necessary.  PAR2 files are usually published in
binary newsgroups on Usenet; they apply the data-recovery capability concepts of
RAID-like systems to the posting and recovery of multi-part archives.
----

BuildRoot: is now good.
Distribution: SuSE 9.1 is gone.
The problem with Obsoletes: is that you's behavior can be counter-intuitive, but
what you have here is fine.

rpmlint is now silent.

The only remaining issue is that I didn't notice the test suite upstream (which
was dumb of me since it's pretty obvious).  Can you add this after %clean:

%check
make check-TESTS

to run the test suite?  I checked that it passes on i386 and x86_64.

APPROVED.  Just add the %check bit when you check in.

Thank you Jason for your review!

I am waiting now for my account creation approval.

Having read the guide again, it appears to me that I forgot one step: the 
sponsoring! :-( This my first review request for Fedora Extras, and I should 
have been reviewed by a sponsor! Jason, you did a good job with this review, 
however.
I have added FE-NEEDSPONSOR to blockers. I hope this will unblock the 
situation.

I will sponsor you; you can go ahead and set up your Fedora account.

par2cmdline-0.4-8.src.rpm eventually builds correctly.

The diff between releases 7 and 8 is a patch that removes warnings on all 
platforms, and fix a compilation error on ppc (see CVS for details).

I think this bug can be closed. Thank you Jason for your support.

Perhaps will I ask you a few question about branches and things like that...
