Just a quick note: there are several duplicate BuildRequires: libXfixes-devel
(by libXdamage-devel), libICE-devel (by libSM-devel), libogg-devel (by
libtheora-devel) (all those are minor problems) and at least one missing BR
(zlib-devel probably - that is a MUSTFIX):

RPM build errors:

here is a short patch which fixes the above and also preserves timestamps of
installed files. Please use it to fix your package and I guess we have a winner.

Changes:

- Remove duplicate BR
- Add missing zlib-devel BR
- Applied patch to Preserve timestamps

Updated:

SPEC: http://folk.ntnu.no/sindrb/packages/recordmydesktop.spec
SRPM: http://folk.ntnu.no/sindrb/packages/recordmydesktop-0.3.3.1-2.src.rpm

Good:

- rpmlint checks do not return anything on source and binary rpm; the debuginfo
package reports:
W: recordmydesktop-debuginfo spurious-executable-perm
/usr/src/debug/recordmydesktop-0.3.3.1/src/load_cache.c
W: recordmydesktop-debuginfo spurious-executable-perm
/usr/src/debug/recordmydesktop-0.3.3.1/include/rmdtypes.h
W: recordmydesktop-debuginfo spurious-executable-perm
/usr/src/debug/recordmydesktop-0.3.3.1/src/cache_frame.c
Probably a chmod -x on these three files in %prep should make rpmlint happy.
- package meets naming guidelines
- package meets packaging guidelines
- license (GPL) is OK, text in %doc, matches source
- spec file legible, in am. english
- source matches upstream, is latest version, sha1sum
3eb2ffe79a0fcf5e04962bd3d120c1e5587c178b recordmydesktop-0.3.3.1.tar.gz
- package compiles on devel (x86_64)
- no missing BR
- no unnecessary BR
- no locales
- not relocatable
- owns all file/directories that it creates, does not take ownership of foreign
files/directories
- no duplicate files
- permissions ok (see rpmlint output on -debuginfo above)
- %clean ok
- macro use consistent
- code, not content
- no need for -docs
- nothing in %doc affects runtime
- not a GUI, so no need for .desktop file
- no need for a separate -devel package
- no .la files
- no scriptlets
- no static files

 SHOULD:
- builds in mock for devel/x86_64
- works as advertised

APPROVED
