Spec URL: http://www.ioa.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~mtasaka/dist/extras/development/SPECS/ruby-gettext-package.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.ioa.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~mtasaka/dist/extras/development/SRPMS/ruby-gettext-package-1.9.0-1.fc7.src.rpm

Description: 
Ruby-GetText-Package is a Localization(L10n) Library and Tools 
which is modeled after GNU gettext package.

The library converts the messages to localized messages properly 
using client-side locale information. And the tools for developers 
support to create, use, and modify localized message files
(message catalogs) easily.

Comment 1 Jasper O. Hartline 2007-05-01 14:58:39 UTC
Chitlesh Goorah has asked me to do an informal review of this package.
Upon installing all BuildRequires, the package builds cleanly in Fedora Core 6
with a single warning from rpmlint:
W: ruby-gettext-package invalid-license Ruby License/LGPL

This should be LGPL rather than Ruby License/LGPL

In examining your SPEC file, I see you can collapse some Requires and
BuildRequires using this format:
BuildRequires:  irb, ruby-devel, ruby(abi = %{rubyabi}
Requires:       irb, ruby(abi) = %{rubyabi}

rather than:
BuildRequires:  irb
BuildRequires:  ruby-devel
BuildRequires:  ruby(abi) = %{rubyabi}
Requires:       ruby(abi) = %{rubyabi}
Requires:       irb

I also notice in the SPEC, the %files section has:
%files -f %{name}.lang
You might want to look into using:
%{find_lang} 
instead.

See: rpmbuild --showrc | grep find_lang

See the real COPYING text. This is licensed under
LGPL or Ruby License. This type of dual license is very
common for ruby related modules

I _strongly_ recommend the latter style (i.e. my style) and
also some other reviewers recommend the latter style
* This style makes it easy that what is really changed on
  taking diff when the dependency is changed.
* This style makes diff output smaller.
* For this package, the BuildRequires has only 3 packages so
  the difference is small.
  However, please consider the case in which one package has
  29 BuildRequires......

Already I use %find_lang. Note that there is no 
%{name}.mo files
--------------------------------------------
%find_lang rails
%find_lang rgettext
%{__cat} *.lang >> %{name}.lang
---------------------------------------------

Comment 3 Mamoru TASAKA 2007-05-05 18:19:34 UTC
Any issues left on this package?

Comment 4 Chitlesh GOORAH 2007-05-06 16:40:02 UTC
Same as ruby-amazon, the folders samples and test were omitted. Their contents 
should be added to one or more sub packages.

Comment 5 Mamoru TASAKA 2007-05-06 18:24:55 UTC
Well:

http://www.ioa.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~mtasaka/dist/extras/development/SPECS/ruby-gettext-package.spec
http://www.ioa.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~mtasaka/dist/extras/development/SRPMS/ruby-gettext-package-1.9.0-2.fc7.src.rpm
------------------------------------------------
* Mon May  7 2007 Mamoru Tasaka <mtasaka.u-tokyo.ac.jp> - 1.9.0-2
- Create -doc subpackage

For rpmlint:
------------------------------------------------
1 W: ruby-gettext-package invalid-license Ruby License/LGPL
1 W: ruby-gettext-package-debuginfo invalid-license Ruby License/LGPL
2 E: ruby-gettext-package-doc zero-length
/usr/share/doc/ruby-gettext-package-doc-1.9.0/samples/rails/public/favicon.ico
3 W: ruby-gettext-package-doc spurious-executable-perm
/usr/share/doc/ruby-gettext-package-doc-1.9.0/test/test.sh
1 W: ruby-gettext-package-doc invalid-license Ruby License/LGPL
------------------------------------------------
1: This type of dual license is very common for ruby related
   software
2: Well, I am not familiar with "ruby on rails" and I am not sure
   if I should (can) remove this file or not......
3: This is okay because this script is actually executable and
   only /bin/sh dependency is added to -doc subpackage due to
   this permission.

Comment 6 Chitlesh GOORAH 2007-05-10 18:32:30 UTC
