This is my first package and I am seeking a sponsor. Spec URL: http://deadbytes.net/packages/fedora/specs/surfraw/surfraw.spec SRPM URL: http://deadbytes.net/packages/fedora/srpms/surfraw-1.0.7-1.src.rpm Description: Surfraw provides a fast unix command line interface to a variety of popular WWW search engines and other artifacts of power. It reclaims google, altavista, babelfish, dejanews, freshmeat, research index, slashdot and many others from the false-prophet, pox-infested heathen lands of html-forms, placing these wonders where they belong, deep in unix heartland, as god loving extensions to the shell. Surfraw abstracts the browser away from input. Doing so lets it get on with what it's good at. Browsing. Interpretation of linguistic forms is handed back to the shell, which is what it, and human beings are good at. Combined with netscape-remote or incremental text browsers, such as links (http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/links/), w3m (http://www.w3m.org/), and screen(1) a Surfraw liberateur is capable of navigating speeds that leave GUI tainted idolaters agape with fear and wonder.
Builds on F7. rpmlint: E: surfraw no-binary E: surfraw-debuginfo empty-debuginfo-package Need to fix: only sh scripts, make noarch Wrong license. COPYING (which you should include in %doc) indicates public domain links, screen, lynx, and w3m are mentioned in the config and description. Did you want to Require these? Are we going to assume users already have these installed or can figure out how to?
Spec URL: http://deadbytes.net/packages/fedora/specs/surfraw/surfraw.spec SRPM URL: http://deadbytes.net/packages/fedora/srpms/surfraw-1.0.7-2.src.rpm Added dependencies for lynx, links, screen, and w3m. Changed the license to Public Domain. Added COPYING into the doc directory.
Still needs to be set BuildArch: noarch Now it Requires three different browsers. They all do the same thing, so you are not missing anything if you pick one and don't Require the others. The config file mentions all though. Your choice. As it is now the config file requires user editing to select a browser or it'll error. Which is fine, as a comment in /etc/surfraw.conf says "text browser users can work it out how to change it."
Spec URL: http://deadbytes.net/packages/fedora/specs/surfraw/surfraw.spec SRPM URL: http://deadbytes.net/packages/fedora/srpms/surfraw-1.0.7-3.src.rpm Added BuildArch to build as noarch and removed dependencies again for the text browser as I don't want all three installed and I'm sure other users don't either.
Good: rpmlint clean License: public domain BuildArch: noarch source archive matches proper file ownership BuildRoot %clean section use of macros APPROVED I will sponsor.
