Spec URL: http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/wgrib2.spec SRPM URL: http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/wgrib2-1.7.2-1.fc8.src.rpm Description: Wgrib2 is a swiss army knife for grib2 files. You can use it inventory or extract data. You can do basic database operations and other nifty things. GRIB-2 has arrived and has begun replacing the the older standard GRIB (GRIB-1). Since GRIB-2 can reduce the file size by upto 80% (NAM, JPEG2000 compression), converting to the new standard may be faster than some expected. Wgrib2 has been out in the wild since 9/16/2005 (alpha release). The original version was rough around the edges but the new design helped and now wgrib2 has much more functionality than the older wgrib.
I did a package too, very similar with yours (strange isn't it ;-) but with a makefile patch different and correspondingly a make call slightly different. Otherwise I think that the first paragraph of the %description would be enough. Also I have a libpng-devel BuildRequires And this for the license: # most files are public domain, geo.c and Netcdf.c are GPL+, gribtab.c is GPLv2+ License: GPLv2+ and summary Summary: Manipulate, inventory and decode GRIB2 files http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/wgrib2-pat.spec http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/wgrib2-1.6.1-1.fc9.src.rpm

As strange as it may be, I am not in earth sciences (though I was trained as a biologist), I am an economist, but an economist working a lot with climate scientists (mainly on climate change consequences)... > g2clib-devel requires libpng-devel. Ok. I have 2 remarks - I think it is better to avoid naming files with fedora, to play nicer with downstream for spec files, be it only EPEL. - the -r of rm is useless These are not blockers, so: * follow packaging guidelines * match upstream 8929dd70291298b2638a6740011d82be wgrib2.tgz.v1.7.2b * free software, license included * %files section right APPROVED I'd appreciate to be in initialCC and watchcommit.
