Description: 

Gammu is command line utility and library to work with mobile phones
from many vendors.
Support for different models differs, but basic functions should work
with majority of them. Program can work with contacts,
messages (SMS, EMS and MMS), calendar, todos, filesystem,
integrated radio, camera, etc.
It also supports daemon mode to send and receive SMSes.

any reason to have separate -libs rpms?

Created attachment 154387 [details]
Modified SPEC

I did some workaround for your SPEC to solve most of rpmlint errors and
warnings.
kindly update SPEC,bump release and provide a new SRPM

Comment 4 Parag AN(पराग) 2007-05-09 12:02:01 UTC
I saw neither python-gammu nor wammu uses gammu-libs rpm. So is there any other
package needs gammu-libs?

Comment 5 Xavier Lamien 2007-05-09 18:06:44 UTC
Wow..!!
It seem that the link above point to the obsolete built package.
here is the right below.

SRPM: http://download.tuxfamily.org/lxtnow/temp/gammu-1.10.0-1.fc6.src.rpm

-------------------------------------------------------------

These files are examples script that the end-user can use for more accebilities
in his action with the Gammu command line.
These files shouldn't be removed from its default executable permission.
These above warning are harmless and can be ignored.

As the upstream/developer mentioned for the build, the package can be build with
 or without share libraries where share libraries could be use with other
applications that aim to work with gammu-libs for developing (such as framework,
plugin, GUI, ...).

In this case, no...detached libs is not a bad thing.

Comment 6 Parag AN(पराग) 2007-05-10 10:29:41 UTC
Ok so new SRPM gave me following rpmlint warnings which can be ignored as I saw
some core packages are also allowing following rpmlint warnings

But I think you should solve follwoing easily
W: gammu mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 1, tab: line 12)
The specfile mixes use of spaces and tabs for indentation, which is a
cosmetic annoyance.  Use either spaces or tabs for indentation, not both.

Ok so no problem for -libs subpackage.


Comment 7 Parag AN(पराग) 2007-05-10 11:05:49 UTC
ohh I saw above warnings for FC6 packages and they got removed in devel branch.
So you also need to solve rpmlint warnings 
chmod 644 to docs/examples/ppp and docs/examples/fax

Comment 8 Xavier Lamien 2007-05-10 22:26:01 UTC
Huh ?

here is my rpmlint output (mock build) for devel branch:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[lxtnow@Herlzeiled]# rpmlint

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The same from fc6.


>> So you also need to solve rpmlint warnings 
>> chmod 644 to docs/examples/ppp and docs/examples/fax

The files which're included in docs/examples/ppp and docs/examples/fax
are (as i said above) examples script that the end-user or advanced user.
see comment #5 for more details.

 Strange you are not getting any rpmlint warning for doc-file-dependency?

Comment 10 Parag Nemade 2007-05-11 03:15:29 UTC
I even asked on #fedora-devel and got similar answer that 
it's best not to have things in examples executable - it can create false deps
and in your case its giving rpmlint warnings as
W: gammu doc-file-dependency /usr/share/doc/gammu-1.10.0/examples/fax/faxreceive
/bin/sh


Comment 11 Ville Skyttä 2007-05-11 14:15:09 UTC
From rpmlint 0.80-1 changelog:
- Filter messages about doc file dependencies on /bin/sh.

FWIW, I don't think a dependency on /bin/sh is anything to worry about, doc or not.

hmm. I was expecting something similar. Today was so busy working day that I
couldn't got time to upgrade rpmlint on FC6 machine.
So new version was already available. Ok

why don't you try to move then executable scripts to /etc then?

Comment 13 Parag AN(पराग) 2007-05-14 04:06:56 UTC
Ok. Taking your comment #5 as basis
Review:
+ package builds in mock (development i386).

>> why don't you try to move then executable scripts to /etc then?

Well, that implies to prevent from .rpmsave and .rpmnew and coulb be not the
right things to do for exemple script.

I think that /usr/share/doc/[packane_name_version] is more appropriate.


(in reply to comment #13)
is that missing something in this full review or if it's done, don't forget to
set review flag to +. ;-)

 That was done deliberately to first get some reply on above question.
