Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated

Issues
======
- While the few files with license headers mostly specify LGPL-2.1 without
  including the "or any later version" language, lib/rexical/generator.rb does
  include that language.  I think the License field should be:

  LGPL-2.1-only AND LGPL-2.1-or-later

- Please consider using https instead of http in the URL field

- Not an issue, just a note that the modern form of the find command in %install
  is:

  find %{buildroot}%{gem_instdir}/bin -type f -exec chmod a+x {} +

  That only spawns one subprocess instead of two, and avoids problems with
  pathnames that contain spaces.

===== MUST items =====

Generic:
[x]: Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets
     other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging
     Guidelines.

     Public License, Version 2.1", "*No copyright* GNU Library General
     Public License, Version 2.0", "GNU Lesser General Public License",

     files.
[x]: Reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
[x]: Buildroot is not present
[x]: Package has no %clean section with rm -rf %{buildroot} (or
     $RPM_BUILD_ROOT)

[x]: Gem package should exclude cached Gem.
[x]: Gem should use %gem_install macro.
[x]: gems should not require rubygems package
[x]: Test suite should not be run by rake.
[x]: Test suite of the library should be run.
