Review Request: cvs2svn

Spec URL: http://blues.mcgill.ca/~icon/fe/cvs2svn.spec SRPM URL: http://blues.mcgill.ca/~icon/fe/cvs2svn-1.4.0-0.1.rc1.src.rpm Description: cvs2svn is a Python script that converts a CVS repository to a Subversion repository. It is designed for one-time conversions, not for repeated synchronizations between CVS and Subversion. NB: License says "BSD" because it's the same license and subversion, and the core subversion package says the license is "BSD" (even though it's a modified BSD).
Okay... Should this not be Development/Tools rather than Languages? Could you also clarify if the licence for this software is modified BSD or straight BSD please?
Hey, Paul: You're right, I missed the Group bit -- will modify accordingly. I guess I could change the license to "Modified BSD", even though the modification is small: * 3. The end-user documentation included with the redistribution, if * any, must include the following acknowledgment: "This product includes * software developed by CollabNet (http://www.Collab.Net/)." * Alternately, this acknowledgment may appear in the software itself, if * and wherever such third-party acknowledgments normally appear. It's somewhere between the original BSD and current BSD -- the dreaded "advertise clause" is required, but only in documentation, so it's not a big deal. Like I said, the subversion package in core lists the license as "BSD", so I figure it's safe to leave it as just "BSD" for this one as well.

Updated group: http://blues.mcgill.ca/~icon/fe/cvs2svn.spec http://blues.mcgill.ca/~icon/fe/cvs2svn-1.4.0-0.2.rc1.src.rpm
Added Requires: rcs http://blues.mcgill.ca/~icon/fe/cvs2svn.spec http://blues.mcgill.ca/~icon/fe/cvs2svn-1.4.0-0.3.rc1.src.rpm
Builds without a hitch. rpmlint is happy, mock is happy. The licence does seem correct as BSD. ACCEPTED
Wow, this is the fastest package review I've had in my life. :) Thanks, Paul!
