Spec URL: ftp://perl.di.uminho.pt/pub/fedora/eventlog.spec SRPM URL: ftp://perl.di.uminho.pt/pub/fedora/eventlog-0.2.5-1.src.rpm Description: The EventLog library aims to be a replacement of the simple syslog() API provided on UNIX systems. The major difference between EventLog and syslog is that EventLog tries to add structure to messages. EventLog provides an interface to build, format and output an event record. The exact format and output method can be customized by the administrator via a configuration file. Notes: * This package is a syslog-ng v2 build requirement (static library) A syslog-ng v2 test srpm is available at the above download directory
This builds fine for me; rpmlint on the insatlled rpm says: W: eventlog-devel ldd-failed /usr/lib64/libevtlog.a which is sort of expected as ldd will just return "not a dynamic executable". This package pretty well fits the exception to the no-static-libs rule, being a dependency of a package that needs to be statically linked so that it can run early in the boot sequence.
It's not necessary to have: Requires(post): /sbin/ldconfig Requires(postun): /sbin/ldconfig since you are using the %post -p /sbin/ldconfig form for your scriptlets. Not a blocker, of course, but /sbin/ldconfig does show up four times in the dependency list. * source files match upstream: a6bdba91f88540cc69b398fd138d86cd eventlog-0.2.5.tar.gz * package meets naming and packaging guidelines. * specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently. * dist tag is present. * build root is correct. * license field matches the actual license. * license is open source-compatible. License text included in package. * latest version is being packaged. * BuildRequires are proper. * compiler flags are appropriate. * %clean is present. * package builds in mock (development, x86_64). * package installs properly * debuginfo package looks complete. * rpmlint has one acceptable warning. * final provides and requires are sane: eventlog-0.2.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm libevtlog.so.0()(64bit) eventlog = 0.2.5-1.fc6 = /sbin/ldconfig libevtlog.so.0()(64bit) eventlog-devel-0.2.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm eventlog-devel = 0.2.5-1.fc6 = eventlog = 0.2.5-1.fc6 libevtlog.so.0()(64bit) * %check is not present; no test suite upstream * shared libraries are added to the regular linker search paths; ldconfig called as necessary. * owns the directories it creates. * doesn't own any directories it shouldn't. * no duplicates in %files. * file permissions are appropriate. * scriptlets are OK (ldconfig) * code, not content. * documentation is small, so no -docs subpackage is necessary. * %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package. * headers are in the -devel subpackage. * pkgconfig file is in the -devel subpackage. * static libraries and unversioned .so files are in the -devel subpackage. * static libraries are acceptable in this instance. * no libtool .la droppings.

Thanks for the review.
