Hey Matt. I see this review is assigned to you, but still in the NEW state with
the fedora-review flag not set. 

Do you intent to review here? 

Comment 3 Matt Wringe 2007-07-06 22:07:05 UTC
Package cannot be build this the current version of gcj in Fedora due to enum
now being a reserved keyword. Please fix this by setting the source level or by
patching the files.

MUST:
* package is named appropriately
 - match upstream tarball or project name
 - try to match previous incarnations in other distributions/packagers for
consistency
 - specfile should be %{name}.spec
 - non-numeric characters should only be used in Release (ie. cvs or
   something)
 - for non-numerics (pre-release, CVS snapshots, etc.), see
   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#PackageRelease
 - if case sensitivity is requested by upstream or you feel it should be
   not just lowercase, do so; otherwise, use all lower case for the name
OK
* is it legal for Fedora to distribute this?
 - OSI-approved
 - not a kernel module
 - not shareware
 - is it covered by patents?
 - it *probably* shouldn't be an emulator
 - no binary firmware
OK, look ok to me 
* license field matches the actual license.
OK
* license is open source-compatible.
 - use acronyms for licences where common
OK (its BSD-style)
* specfile name matches %{name}
OK
* verify source and patches (md5sum matches upstream, know what the patches do)
OK, the md5sums match
* skim the summary and description for typos, etc.
OK
* correct buildroot
 - should be:
   %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
OK
* if %{?dist} is used, it should be in that form (note the ? and %
locations)
OK
* license text included in package and marked with %doc
OK
* keep old changelog entries; use judgement when removing (too old?
useless?)
OK
* packages meets FHS (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/)
OK, looks OK to me
* rpmlint on <this package>.srpm gives no output
rpmlint castor-0.9.5-1jpp.9.src.rpm 
W: castor non-standard-group Development/Libraries/Java

OK (group warnings can be safely ignored)

* changelog should be in a proper formats:
OK
* Packager tag should not be used
OK
* Vendor tag should not be used
OK
* Distribution tag should not be used
OK
* use License and not Copyright 
OK
* Summary tag should not end in a period
OK
* if possible, replace PreReq with Requires(pre) and/or Requires(post)
OK
* specfile is legible
OK
* package successfully compiles and builds on at least x86
X package does not build
* BuildRequires are proper
? Will check when it builds properly
* summary should be a short and concise description of the package
OK
* description expands upon summary (don't include installation
instructions)
OK
* make sure lines are <= 80 characters
X Can you make line 134 multiple lines instead?
* specfile written in American English
OK
* make a -doc sub-package if necessary
OK
* packages including libraries should exclude static libraries if possible
* don't use rpath
* config files should usually be marked with %config(noreplace)
* GUI apps should contain .desktop files
* should the package contain a -devel sub-package?
* use macros appropriately and consistently
OK
* don't use %makeinstall
OK
* install section must begin with rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT or %{buildroot}
OK
* locale data handling correct (find_lang)
 - if translations included, add BR: gettext and use %find_lang %{name} at the
   end of %install
* consider using cp -p to preserve timestamps
OK
* split Requires(pre,post) into two separate lines
OK
* package should probably not be relocatable
* package contains code
OK
* package should own all directories and files

* there should be no %files duplicates
* file permissions should be okay; %defattrs should be present
OK
* %clean should be present
OK
* %doc files should not affect runtime
* if it is a web apps, it should be in /usr/share/%{name} and *not* /var/www
* verify the final provides and requires of the binary RPMs
? Waiting until package builds properly
* run rpmlint on the binary RPMs
? waiting until package builds properly

SHOULD:
* package should include license text in the package and mark it with %doc
?
* package should build on i386
?
* package should build in mock
?


Comment 4 Permaine Cheung 2007-07-09 16:05:49 UTC
The latest version of the spec file is in Fedora cvs, I just tried that and it
built fine. Please try that one.

Comment 5 Matthias Saou 2007-09-01 16:11:23 UTC
Same remark as Kevin, here. I guess it's an oversight, so I'm changing from NEW
to ASSIGNED.

Comment 6 Alexander Kurtakov 2011-12-20 22:58:00 UTC
I have done major revamp of the package, Matt are you interested to review it again?

Comment 7 Mat Booth 2013-08-21 15:29:47 UTC
I too have revamped the package to confirm with modern guidelines and bootstrap the building of extra modules using castor-maven-plugin.

Alexander, would you care to review?

Comment 8 Alexander Kurtakov 2013-08-21 15:34:51 UTC
I'll try to do it soon.

Comment 9 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-11-24 07:16:18 UTC
Suggestions from me
1) Epoch :0 not needed

2) if multiple licenses are specified in license tag then add comments which part of source is in which license

3) Group: tag is not needed anymore

4) local mock build failed for rawhide, submit working spec for further review.

5) Generally patch name should start with %{name}-%{version} against which its created.

Comment 11 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-11-28 03:54:54 UTC
Thanks for fixing this issue.

Package is APPROVED.

Closing this review as required changes are already in rawhide package.
