Spec URL: http://people.redhat.com/dlutter/yum/spec/ruby-fam.spec SRPM URL: http://people.redhat.com/dlutter/yum/SRPMS/ruby-fam-0.2.0-1.src.rpm Description: FAM-Ruby is a Ruby interface to SGI's File Alteration Monitor (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/). FAM allows you to monitor files and directories for changes (file modification, creation, and removal) -- in an event-driven manner.

Should there really be a devel subpackage just for docs? If there does need to be one for some reason it should Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}, but I don't see a reason to have one, unless I am missing something... 2. Should the 'Requires: gamin' be needed? rpm already puts in a requires on libfam.so.0 which is provided by the gamin package.

The main reason why I did that is because the docs wind up being several times the size of the actual library; and they are only of interest to developers. But if you think saving space/bandwidth this way is a bad idea, I'll put them into the main package. > 2.

Yeah, you could create a -doc subpackage. I personally don't think it's really worth it. The docs amount to about 25k when they are compressed in the rpm, and about 120k on disk. Thats not really worth the overhead of another package IMHO. If you do want to keep them in another subpackage, I think -doc makes more sense than devel. If they are in a devel package people might think they need that devel package to do any development, rather than just being full of docs.
Ok, you guys convinced me; now there's only one package for everything, no subpackages. (Though I still somehwat cringe at the idea of wasting people's disk space, even if it's only 100k) New stuff: Spec URL: http://people.redhat.com/dlutter/yum/spec/ruby-fam.spec SRPM URL: http://people.redhat.com/dlutter/yum/SRPMS/ruby-fam-0.2.0-3.src.rpm
ok. Keep in mind that if someone is really tight on disk space they can always install with '--excludedocs' and not have to worry about them. :) I see no further issues, so this package is APPROVED. Don't forget to close this review request NEXTRELEASE once it's been imported and built.
