Why is the "fedora-review" flag set on this?  If someone's reviewing this
package, they should assign it to themselves and change the status to ASSIGNED.

Better use the ``pkgname'' instead of ``/some/path/app''

Still necessary?

F-11 is going to be i586, %{ix86} is your friend.

`-^^^^^^

I guess it's not necessary in recent Fedora.

``kernel-utils'' does not seeems to be present in Fedora anymore. Dump it?

Use %defattr(-,root,root,-)

no response and no change in their cvs, I'll ping them again...

Any update so far?

(Now installed the new smartmontools.)

newman ~ $ rpmlint smartmontools

I guess this is OK.

Should be better automake.

I don't see such file there. Just keep the filename part. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL#Using_Revision_Control

Shouldn't we have "Version: 5.39" + "Release: 0.20091119svn%{?dist}", since the tarball's version is "5.39"? I'd rather call it 5.39 pre-release than 5.38 release bump.

5.39 in setup section is there because smartmontools package is created by "make dist" and (as usual) upstream bumbs version in autotools config files just after releasing any new version. I think it's better to use snapshot versioning as specified in:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Snapshot_packages

OK.

Just verified in CVS. APPROVED.
