Missing a BR, fixed now.

Comment 4 Owen Taylor 2008-02-13 16:29:26 UTC
Taking the review

Comment 5 Owen Taylor 2008-02-13 17:08:01 UTC
rpmlint output was empty.

What I found going through the package review guidelines and reading the 
spec file:

* UPSTREAM: license needs to be fixed to LGPL (at least for libddm)

* UPSTREAM: should have a real tagged and released to gnome.org tarball before
this goes into rawhide.

* Group:          Applications/Internet. Not an application. Maybe 'System
Environment/Libraries'?

* Summary: and %description need improvement

  Suggestion:

   Summary: Engine providing live updates of online data to the desktop
  
   %description
   desktop-data-model provides an engine and client library that allow
   desktop applications to retrieve data from the online.gnome.org server
   and elsewhere and get updates when the data changes. This allows
   creating applications that provide a live display of information
   from the Internet.

* The Requires on GConf for the scriptlets aren't needed.

* The handling of the 'version' file isn't ideal ... the version file is used
to do an auto-restart of the desktop-data-engine when a new version is installed
on the system, so shouldn't be changed until after all the other files are 
installed. In mugshot.spec we have:

%post
[...]
echo %{version} > %{_datadir}/mugshot/version

%files
%ghost %{_datadir}/mugshot/version

* the -devel package should Requires: pkgconfig for directory ownership.
* The Requires on dbus-devel for the -devel subpackage isn't needed.

* The devel package shjould require the main package
  Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}

* The %postun should be changed to '%postun -p /sbin/ldconfig' to avoid an
unnecessary shell invocation (the %post would take the same change, but the
version change above will add a second line to it.)
