Spec URL: http://washington.kelkoo.net/fedora/SPECS/perl-Text-Format.spec SRPM URL: http://washington.kelkoo.net/fedora/SRPMS/perl-Text-Format-0.52-1.fc8.src.rpm Description: The format routine will format under all circumstances even if the width isn't enough to contain the longest words. Text::Wrap will die under these circumstances, although I am told this is fixed. If columns is set to a small number and words are longer than that and the leading 'whitespace' than there will be a single word on each line. This will let you make a simple word list which could be indented or right aligned. There is a chance for croaking if you try to subvert the module. If you don't pass in text then the internal text is worked on, though not modified. Text::Format is meant for more powerful text formatting than Text::Wrap allows. I also have a module called Text::NWrap that is meant as a direct replacement for Text::Wrap. Text::NWrap requires Text::Format since it uses Text::Format->format to do the actual wrapping but gives you the interface of Text::Wrap.
Hmm, another decade-old Perl module. There seems to be a rash of them lately. * source files match upstream: 3790c5bc7b5f66d1264fd013050c2097b5867bc737dc6c676d0794a3984aa9a1 Text-Format0.52.tar.gz * package meets naming and versioning guidelines. * specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently. * summary is OK. * description is OK. * dist tag is present. * build root is OK. * license field matches the actual license. * license is open source-compatible. * license text not included upstream. * latest version is being packaged. * BuildRequires are proper. * %clean is present. * package builds in mock (rawhide, x86_64). * package installs properly * rpmlint is silent. * final provides and requires are sane: perl(Text::Format) = 0.52 perl-Text-Format = 0.52-1.fc9 = perl >= 0:5.003 perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8) perl(Carp) perl(strict) perl(vars) * %check is present and all tests pass: All tests successful.

Actually, now that I read a bit more clisely, I would also recommend removing the last two sentences of %description, as they're not really descriptive of this module: I also have a module called Text::NWrap that is meant as a direct replacement for Text::Wrap. Text::NWrap requires Text::Format since it uses Text::Format->format to do the actual wrapping but gives you the interface of Text::Wrap.
Thanks for the review, Jason. I will fix the description after importing the package. New Package CVS Request ======================= Package Name: perl-Text-Format Short Description: Various subroutines to format text Owners: xavierb Branches: F-8 EL-4 EL-5 InitialCC: Cvsextras Commits: yes
