Spec URL: http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/g2clib.spec SRPM URL: http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/g2clib-1.0.4-1.fc8.src.rpm Description: This library contains "C" decoder/encoder routines for GRIB edition 2. The user API for the GRIB2 routines is described in file "grib2c.doc".
Good: - rpmlint checks return nothing - package meets naming guidelines - package meets packaging guidelines - spec file legible, in am. english - source matches upstream - package compiles on devel (x86) - no missing BR - no unnecessary BR - no locales - not relocatable - owns all directories that it creates - no duplicate files - permissions ok - %clean ok - macro use consistent - code, not content - no need for -docs - nothing in %doc affects runtime - no need for .desktop file - devel package ok - no .la files I went ahead and updated to 1.0.5: http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/g2clib-1.0.5-1.fc8.src.rpm Question: License is listed as Public Domain. I agree that this is probably the case as it is US Gov. work, but there seems to be absolutely no mention of this anywhere in the source. Not sure if this is necessary for public domain. CC'ing Spot for clarification. Does upstream has any interest in supporting building shared libraries? Otherwise, everything looks good.
I have asked clarification about the license and they confirmed that it is public domain. I don't know about shared libraries, but upstream is not easily contacted, there is a person who answers mails and could answer the license issue, but for technical issues it is passed to other people and they never responded to my request to rename the fortran lib to avoid name clashes. But you can contact them if you want.
It's probably Public Domain, especially given that it is a US Government created work. Nevertheless, if you've got that clarification where upstream confirms that it is public domain, include a copy of that email as a text file in the package.
Here it is with the message http://www.lmd.jussieu.fr/~pdlmd/g2clib-1.0.5-2.fc9.src.rpm http://www.lmd.jussieu.fr/~pdlmd/g2clib.spec
Looks good to me. Approved. Please add me as a co-owner so I can keep track of changes (so I can rebuild ncl as needed).
