In my opinion html2text.py should be in a separate package. 
It is clearly usefull without rss2email.

Well, I have thought about that as well. But each package more in our repos is
more work to do for mirrors, yum (downloading headers, depsolving), pungi and
other stuff. So I decided against it for now, as the package is only 34k in
total. But thinking about it again I'm not that sure myself. So what do other
people think?

Okay, I've thought about it some more and split it of. pythong-html2text now in

* there are 2 patches in the debian patcheset, one for html2txt and
  one for rss2email that may be relevant.

* Maybe you could ask the debian maintainer to avoid directly patching
  the sources, but instead put all the debian patches below debian/ 
  such that you can apply the debian patcheset and use the patches 
  and files directly.
 
* the debian template file seems to be better than yours, with a lot
  of comments, but you may disagree ;-)

* I have some remarks on rss2email-r2e:

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that [[ ]] is not an sh feature.
Also = in conditional is more portable than ==. I can make a patch
if you like.

* I suggest doing 
sed -e -i 's;/usr/share;%{_datadir}/g' 
on r2e.

* dos2unix issue

* suggestion:
  remove / after $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

* I also suggest that you get in touch with the debian packager
  to share your r2e script and your patch.

Better (but still unteted):
sed -e -i 's;/usr/share;%{_datadir};g'

Patrice, thx for looking over this.

Applied one of them; the others are non-obvious to me ATM, and I prefer to go
without them for now.

Yes, I want to avoid maintaining a copy of what is already documented and
maintenanced in another place. I also dislike to have many comments that
describe each option in config files, as that IMHO hurts badly when you have to
merge older and new configurations, because you end up merging lots of changed
comments over if you do it with diff/meld or similar tools.

> I have some remarks on rss2email-r2e [...]
Fixed

> I suggest doing sed [...] on r2e.
Done 

> dos2unix issue
Fixed (stupid me)

> remove / after $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
Done.

Contacting upstream and the debian maintainer is the plan after I have been
using it for some days first and see if everythings works as expected.

* Updated package:

I am not sure that
[ "${2}" ]
is portable either. I would have used

[ z"${2}" != z ]



* rpmlint is silent
* free software, no license, but only one file
* follow guidelines
* match upstream, for CHANGELOG there is this expected diff

I'll look into it when discussing it with the debian and upstream developers.
thx for the hint.
