Package APPROVED.

There is only one problem: The specfile you've provided is not the same specfile you have in the SRPM - the difference is in the description:

Both versions of the description are fine for me so it doesn't matter which version of the specfile you will use.

Comment 7 Fabio Valentini 2025-07-07 14:16:31 UTC
Why was this packaged as "du-dust"? That's wrong for crates from crates.io.

The spec file in general is a mix-and-match from the templates for Rust crates from crates.io and non-crates.io projects, which is very strange.

Comment 8 Lumír Balhar 2025-07-07 19:32:46 UTC
(In reply to Fabio Valentini from comment #7)
> Why was this packaged as "du-dust"? That's wrong for crates from crates.io.

Why? The name of the RPM is an exact copy of the name of the crate on crates.io. It also has the same name in Debian and Nix. It's an application, so the rust prefix is not necessary in this case, I believe.

Comment 9 Fabio Valentini 2025-07-07 19:37:48 UTC
Well ... ok, it is technically *allowed* to do it this way, but it's not *supported* by rust2rpm.

Doing it this way requires manually rewriting the spec file for every update (i.e. working *against* the tooling) instead of being able to mostly just on rust2rpm (working *with* the tooling). As such, naming the package "du-dust" ***but*** still using the sources from crates.io is highly unusual (because you just get more work for no benefit whatsoever).

Comment 10 Fabio Valentini 2025-07-16 13:53:39 UTC
Side note:

> The name of the RPM is an exact copy of the name of the crate on crates.io.

The "rust-" prefix only applies to the name of *source packages*, not the built binary packages.
So it would *always* have been the case that the user-installable package name would have been "du-dust".
The way it's done now is just more work and deviates from best practices.
