Spec URL: http://www.cs.usu.edu/~jerry/Projects/RPMS/perl-Text-Aspell/perl-Text-Aspell.spec SRPM URL: http://www.cs.usu.edu/~jerry/Projects/RPMS/perl-Text-Aspell/perl-Text-Aspell-0.07-1.src.rpm Description: This module provides a Perl interface to the GNU Aspell library. This module is to meet the need of looking up many words, one at a time, in a single session, such as spell-checking a document in memory. I need this package to enable the spell-checking facility in moodle. Rpmlint produces no output on either the binary or the source RPM. There is no distinct license file, but the man page describes the licensing terms.
A couple comments -- *the canonical way to indicate requirements against perl modules is to cite the perl module itself, rather than the package (e.g. perl(Test::Pod) vs perl-Test-Pod) *due to the impending-maybe-sometime-who-knows perl/devel split, there are a couple deps that have to be listed as explicit BR's: perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker), perl(Test::More) * typically, the license is written as "GPL or Artistic", rathern than "Artistic or GPL" (don't ask me -- just convention, really) *Requires(check) is neat, but doesn't work correctly. BuildRequires(check) just might (or just plain BuildRequires).
Thanks for the review, Chris. I'll note that the perl package itself says its license is "Artistic or GPL", so that's where I got it. No big deal, though. I changed it to the order you indicated. I've changed the BuildRequires to reflect your other comments.

Have you posted them yet? :) I seem to be getting a 404 on that srpm...
Oops. Me and my fumble fingers. The SRPM now has the name I posted earlier.
Mondays, bah :) I'll take a look at it later on today, unless anyone else gets to it first...
I question the explicit dependency on the aspell package, as the resulting binary rpm has a versioned library dependency aspell provides. However, it does not appear to be a blocker. + source files match upstream: a456444cb3320634e218426273227cb4 Text-Aspell-0.07.tar.gz a456444cb3320634e218426273227cb4 ../Text-Aspell-0.07.tar.gz + package meets naming and versioning guidelines. + specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently. + dist tag is present. + build root is correct. + license field matches the actual license. + license is open source-compatible.
