- Please use a full source url

- You probably need some requires(post) (pre), etc for
  ldconfig, useradd, etc

- I don't think it is a good idea to use / as the homedir, the wiki says: 
    should usually be a directory created and owned by the package, with 
    appropriately restrictive permissions. One good choice for the location of the 
    directory is the package's data directory in case it has one.

- have you requested an official user id for ohm ?

- please don't mix %{buildroot} and $RPM_BUILD_ROOT in one .spec file

- %dir %{_sysconfdir}/dbus-1/system.d
  should certainly be owned by dbus, no ?

- are libohm.so.* shared libs or modules ? if they are dlopened, they
  should better live in /usr/lib/ohm

new spec file

Attached is a new spec file with all the changes.

libohm_*.so.* are dlopened modules so I've made then un-versioned and put them
in /usr/lib/ohm/

Richard.

It misses at least

BuildRequires: perl(XML::Parser)
BuildRequires: dbus-glib-devel 

Still trying to get it to build in mock

one more:

BuildRequires: hal-devel

Ok, with these, I finally got it to build in mock. 

Initial impression from the built packages:

/usr/share/ohm-0.1.1/index.html

This looks unusual. Typically, datadirs are not versioned, and
if index.html is documentation, it should probably go into
/usr/share/doc/ohm-0.1.1 instead. The way to do that is to add

%doc index.html 

to the file list

Translations need to be handled with %find_lang

new spec file

Here you go, this should be everything okay. Cheers for the quick review.

rpmlint warns about

W: ohm incoherent-version-in-changelog 0.1.1-0.fc7.hughsie 0.1.1-0.fc8

and it might be a nice idea to add the LSB header to the initscript, to make
Harald feel warm and fuzzy...

Apart from that, I had to do a few more specfile tweaks to get it to build in mock:

Add a 

BuildRequires: libtool

Add 

rm -f %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/ohm-%{version}/index.html

Otherwise mock complains about an unpackaged file.

What about the following? Comments?

### END INIT INFO

Looks fine to me. You can omit the empty fields. And I think you probably want to
add 0 to Default-Stop, not sure if it makes any difference.

How about http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/temp/ohm-0.1.1-0.fc7.src.rpm

Should be okay, and seems to build in mock now.

both are ignorable, imo

Two mustfix items, and one whishlist item, then you are good to go:

- Should include AUTHORS and README in %doc  

Cool, thanks for that. I've fixed all the issues you mentioned.

New SRPM here: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/temp/ohm-0.1.1-0.fc7.src.rpm

Ok, approved.
