Congrats, a pretty clean package!

Disable building the static library and I'll approve it.



Minor issue: The website doesn't mention version 5.0.4 yet. ATM, the tarball
only seems to be accessible when directly accessing it (I could access and
verifiy it)

A note to upstream (seemingly you): Your configure scripts supports building
bz2-compressed tarballs - It might we worth considering to using the bz2'ed
tarball instead of the gziped versions. Spares a couple of bytes on disks/CDs etc.

MUSTFIX:

- Disable building the static lib (%configure --disable-static)
  and reflect this change where needed.

- Remove commented out duplicate %configure.
  rpm expands comments which causes %configure to be invoked twice.
  If you want to use % in comments you must use %% instead of %.

COSMETICS:

- Minor typo in changelog:
  ...
  Fri Sep 2 2005 .. server.com?
  ...

  This should read ...server.com>

Ping?

Ping... Thank you so much.    I will fix and bump today!!

Once again, thank you for your review.

I have disabled building the static library.  I also removed the 
corresponding %{_libdir}/*.a from the relevant %files section.

I removed the commented out duplicate %configure 
(thank you for the information regarding rpm expansion of comments)

I fixed the typo that was found in the comment section.  I addressed the same 
typo in the the ChangeLog file.

As per your advice, I have switched to using the bz2'ed tarball instead of the 
gzip'ed ones. (thanks for that advice)

I have increased the release number from 1 to 2.  I apologize in advance if my 
assumption to bump that number was wrong.

I have added comments reflecting the major changes for this release in NEWS, 
ChangeLog, and the specfile.

The URLs for the updated files are:

Spec URL: http://www.rudeserver.com/config/download/rudeconfig.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.rudeserver.com/config/download/rudeconfig-5.0.4-2.src.rpm

I am in the process of making version 5.0.4 "visibly" available on the 
website.

Thank you!

> %{_includedir}/rude/config.h

The directory itself is not included!

I am sorry, but I do not understand the problem.  
Looking at the following extract of the current spec file:

--------- current extract of spec file-----
%files devel
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%doc 

%{_includedir}/rude/config.h
%{_libdir}/*.so
%{_mandir}/man3/*
--------------------------------------------

Do you mean that I have ommitted the directory, and should add something like:

%{_includedir}/rude

Or are you saying that I should omit the directory "rude" and just have:

%{_includedir}/config.h

Or is the blank line that I (accidently) introduced below %doc and before
%{_includedir}/config.h a problem (maybe messed up a diff result)?

Or something else that is way over my head - admittedly, my brain is a bit
slodgy today..

Thank you:)

The former.

And that's either:

| %files devel
| %defattr(-,root,root,-)
| %{_includedir}/rude/
| %{_libdir}/*.so
| %{_mandir}/man3/*

Or:

| %files devel
| %defattr(-,root,root,-)
| %dir %{_includedir}/rude
| %{_includedir}/rude/config.h
| %{_libdir}/*.so
| %{_mandir}/man3/*

When you list the binary rpm, you want to see a "drwxr-xr-x" entry
for "/usr/include/rude".

The difference between

| %dir %{_includedir}/rude
| %{_includedir}/rude/config.h

and

| %{_includedir}/rude/

is that the latter includes the directory "rude" and the entire
tree below it. On the contrary, with %dir you can include specific
directories, but you need to specify any files in addition to that.

Thank you so much for explaining that to me.  I have used the 

%dir %{_includedir}/rude
%{_includedir}/rude/config.h

The URLs for the updated files are:

Spec URL: 
http://www.rudeserver.com/config/download/rudeconfig.spec

SRPM URL: 
http://www.rudeserver.com/config/download/rudeconfig-5.0.4-3.src.rpm

Thanks again!

Packaging-wise *-3.src.rpm seems fine.

There remains one (upstream) issue:

/usr/include/rude/config.h
uses INCLUDED_CONFIG_H as header guard.

This isn't necessarily a clever choice, because INCLUDED_CONFIG_H is a pretty
generic name which likely to conflict with other package's defines.

I'd recommend to use _RUDE_CONFIG_H or similar.

Thank you.  I have modified the config.h to use the more unique include guard:

INCLUDED_RUDE_CONFIG_H

As a result, I bumped the package version up to 5.0.5 and set the release to 1

http://www.rudeserver.com/config/download/rudeconfig.spec
http://www.rudeserver.com/config/download/rudeconfig-5.0.5-1.src.rpm

OK, if you prefer it this way :)

BTW: I can't find your name in owners.list - Could it be you need to a sponsor?

Yes, this is my first review.  I failed to set the FE-NEEDSPONSOR block, my
apologies. Should I add it now?

Not necessary - I am going to sponsor you.

Please proceed with step 10 as described on

Matt? What is the status of this package?

The package doesn't seem be imported into FE's cvs, yet.

My apologies, 
  I am currently hung up on the "Identify Yourself as the Owner of the 
Package". It seems that "CVSAdminProcedure" is different now than it was 2 
weeks ago when I went out of town for a conference.  At the time, I had to 
modify some wiki page to get the cvs directories built.  Now I cannot find 
that wiki and this seems to be the first time I have seen the 
CVSAdminProcedure, which I did not do. Nevertheless, the cvs directories were 
created, and I have just imported the package, but I don't seem to have 
requested FC5 and FC6  branches.  Is this something I need to do as a comment 
here?  Or are FC5 and FC6 not applicable for development libraries?
