Spec URL: http://people.redhat.com/roland/tmp/monotone-viz.spec SRPM URL: http://people.redhat.com/roland/tmp/monotone-viz-1.0-1.fc9.src.rpm Description: This is a small GNOME application to visualize monotone ancestry graphs.
Note: This is NOT a formal review (as I am not a reviewer yet). [x] package meets naming guidelines [x] specfile is encoded in ascii or utf-8 [x] specfile matches base package name [x] specfile uses macros consistently [x] specfile is written cleanly [x] specfile is written in AE [x] changelog is present and has correct format [!] license matches actual license The help->license box says GPLv2+, the README says GPLv2. Should probably be fixed upstream? [x] license is open source-compatible [x] license text is included in package [x] source tag has correct url [x] source files match upstream md5sum: 79306857a378d106166bfdb407eebf1e [x] latest version is packaged version 1.0 [!] summary is concise The description says 'GNOME' application, while the summary says 'GTK+.' [x] full stop after %description [x] dist tag is present [x] buildroot is correct [x] buildroot is prepped [x] %clean is present [x] proper build requirements [x] proper requirements [x] uses %{?_smp_mflags} [x] uses %{optflags} via %configure [x] doesn't use %makeinstall [x] package builds at least on one architecture tested on: i386/f8, x86_64/f8 [x] packages installs and runs at least on one architecture tested on: i386/f8, x86_64/f8 [x] rpmlint is quiet [!] final provides/requires look sane The specfile uses the standard magic boilerplate for ocaml libraries, which is imho not needed for native applications. [-] ldconfig called in %post and %postun if required [x] code, not content [x] file permissions are appropriate [x] debuginfo package looks usable [-] config files marked as %config(noreplace) [x] owns all the directories it creates [-] static libraries in -devel subpackage [-] header files in -devel subpackage [-] development .so files in -devel subpackage [-] pkgconfig files in -devel subpackage, requires pkgconfig [-] no .la files [x] doesn't need a -docs subpackage [x] relevant docs are included [x] doc files are not needed at runtime [!] provides a .desktop file, build-requires desktop-file-utils This is a GUI application, thus needs a .desktop file. [-] uses %find_lang, build-requires gettext Additional note(s): During the build process a 'mtn: misuse: workspace required but not found' message is printed, this seems to be harmless though.
wrt license: the README says v2, but the program itself--in the only place it says "copyright" and so forth, says v2+ (see ui.ml). There are no formal copyright headers in the actual source files. I take the latter to be the author's intent. We can ask him. wrt spec file ocaml boilerplate: removed wrt .desktop file: out of my area, never wrote one before; I tried to look at the equivalent gitk package for a model, but it doesn't have one either. Updated packages uploaded, please approve.

Other packages not following the Packaging Guidelines is not an excuse imho. In fact, adding a .desktop file isn't that complicated, attaching a patch.
Created attachment 291485 [details] Add an icon and a .desktop file.
Thanks! I've integrated the .desktop file into the srpm and uploaded a new version to the same place.
Upstream released 1.0.1. The changelog reads as follows: * fix a compilation problem on some systems * be more precise concerning the license (GPL 2+)
New spec and srpm uploaded Spec URL: http://people.redhat.com/roland/tmp/monotone-viz.spec SRPM URL: http://people.redhat.com/roland/tmp/monotone-viz-1.0.1-1.fc9.src.rpm Please review & approve.
Thomas: You're sponsored now, so you can finish up this review if you like.
Looks good: - license issue has been fixed upstream - latest version is packaged - summary and description are in sync - final provides/requires look sane - .desktop file and icon have been added - package builds at least on one architecture (f8/i386) - packages installs and runs at least on one architecture (f8/i386) - rpmlint is still quiet APPROVED.
