Package Review
==============

Key:
 - = N/A
 x = Check
 ! = Problem
 ? = Not evaluated

=== REQUIRED ITEMS ===
 [x] Package is named according to the Package Naming Guidelines.
 [x] Spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec.
 [x] Package meets the Packaging Guidelines.
 [x] Package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at least one supported architecture.
     Tested on: devel/x86_64
 [x] Rpmlint output:
source RPM:
gedit.src: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 30, tab: line 18)
==> cosmetic, but please fix
gedit.src: W: %ifarch-applied-patch Patch1: gedit-2.13.90-libdir.patch
=> ignorable, fixes the autotools chain
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings.

binary RPM:
gedit.x86_64: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/gconf/schemas/gedit.schemas
gedit.x86_64: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/gconf/schemas/gedit-file-browser.schemas
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings.
=> those are ignorable, if memory serves well. right?

 [x] Package is not relocatable.
 [x] Buildroot is correct (%{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n))
 [x] Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging Guidelines.
 [x] License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
                                                   [!] License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
     License type: GPLv2+ and GFDL
See note 1
 [x] If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package is included in %doc.
 [x] Spec file is legible and written in American English.
 [x] Sources used to build the package match the upstream source, as provided in the spec URL.
     SHA1SUM of source file: 54feda7411f32d401d075c160fc5b9c16f58e8f4 gedit-2.25.7.tar.bz2
 [x] Package is not known to require ExcludeArch
 [x] All build dependencies are listed in BuildRequires, except for any that are listed in the exceptions section of Packaging Guidelines.
 [x] The spec file handles locales properly.
 [-] ldconfig called in %post and %postun if required.
 [x] Package must own all directories that it creates.
 [x] Package requires other packages for directories it uses.
 [x] Package does not contain duplicates in %files.
 [x] Permissions on files are set properly.
 [x] Package has a %clean section, which contains rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
 [x] Package consistently uses macros.
 [x] Package contains code, or permissable content.
 [-] Large documentation files are in a -doc subpackage, if required.
 [x] Package uses nothing in %doc for runtime.
 [x] Header files in -devel subpackage, if present.

=== SUGGESTED ITEMS ===
 [x] Latest version is packaged.
 [x] Package does not include license text files separate from upstream.
 [-] Description and summary sections in the package spec file contains translations for supported Non-English languages, if available.
 [x] Reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
     Tested on: koji build (it passed the F11 rebuild phase)
 [x] Package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported architectures.
     Tested on: all archs supported by koji
 [x] Package functions as described.
 [x] Scriptlets must be sane, if used.
 [-] The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files is correct.
 [-] File based requires are sane.
 [x] %check is present and the test passes.


=== Issues ===
1. There is a minor cosmetic fix needed in order to make rpmlint happier: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 30, tab: line 18)
2. The spec does not use parallel build. If it is not supported, please note it in the spec, otherwise please use it.
3. There are some duplicate BRs:
glib2-devel (by pango-devel), automake (by gtk2-devel), pango-devel (by gtk2-devel), gtk2-devel (by gtksourceview2-devel), pygobject2-devel (by pygtk2-devel), pygtk2-devel (by pygtksourceview-devel), gtksourceview2-devel (by pygtksourceview-devel), autoconf (by automake). You can also ditch which, according to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Exceptions_2 it is supposed to be in the minimum build environment. However I will not object if you choose to leave them in.


=== Final Notes ===
1. Could you please let me know which part of the application is licensed under GFDL? All references I have found in the source are for GPLv2+.

suggested patch

I just thought to volunteer what I think would be an improvement of the spec which covers all suggested objections.

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2013-01-31 14:16:40 UTC
- there's redundant whitespace changes in %changelog. You shouldn't touch changelog, imo - otherwise, it looses its log nature

- i'm not sure the file list changes are an improvement - if you list files explicitly, you notice if something goes missing. globbing makes you vulnerable to silent loss of stuff

- the rest looks fine to me

Comment 6 Cole Robinson 2014-03-24 19:47:06 UTC
The patch was pushed, there's been no further discussion. I think it's safe to say this is done.
