Spec URL: http://www.felix-schwarz.name/files/misc/2008/pypdf/pypdf.spec SRPM URL: http://www.felix-schwarz.name/files/misc/2008/pypdf/pyPdf-1.10-1.fc8.src.rpm Description: A Pure-Python library built as a PDF toolkit. It is capable of: * extracting document information (title, author, ...), * splitting documents page by page, * merging documents page by page, * cropping pages, * merging multiple pages into a single page, * encrypting and decrypting PDF files. As this is my first RPM which I submit to Fedora, I need a sponsor.
Rpmlint says: pyPdf.src: E: invalid-spec-name pypdf.spec pyPdf.src: W: invalid-license modified BSD
Sorry, I ran rpmlint only on the spec file. Updated version: http://www.felix-schwarz.name/files/misc/2008/pypdf/pyPdf.spec http://www.felix-schwarz.name/files/misc/2008/pypdf/pyPdf-1.10-2.fc8.src.rpm
New version: - removed unnecessary python_sitearch macro declaration http://www.felix-schwarz.name/files/misc/2008/pypdf/1.10-3/pyPdf-1.10-3.fc8.src.rpm http://www.felix-schwarz.name/files/misc/2008/pypdf/1.10-3/pyPdf.spec
Everything looks good. No rpmlint output. Builds fine on Koji for dist-f9 <http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=536803>.
well done, Kairo, please proceed with http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CVSAdminProcedure#head-1ef2a3bc00349ad095c689ab7caf283db0e2d723
sorry for the noise, wrong bz ticket
Review: - rpmlint clean - package naming satisfies python module naming guidelines - spec file name matches package name - package meets packaging guidelines - license is BSD, matches package - license text not in separate file, but included directly in python source files, which are of course packaged and thus license texts are included in the package - spec file written in English and is legible - sources match upstream (md5sum e15eca1a3ed4d5c0d86370784e552a92) - package builds OK in mock on i386 and x86_64 for Fedora 9 - buildreqs OK - no shared libraries, static libraries, header files, pkgconfig files, or locale files to worry about - package doesn't claim to be relocatable - directory ownership OK - no duplicate files - %defattr(...) present and correct in %files section - %clean section present and correct - %install section properly cleans buildroot first - macro usage is consistent - code, not content - docs don't affect runtime - not a GUI app, no desktop file needed - filenames are all ASCII - I haven't tested that the package functions OK as it's basically a library for use with other apps - no scriptlets or subpackages - no file dependencies Suggestions: Use a more specific files list, e.g. %{python_sitelib}/pyPdf* this helps catch future changes that create extra files in the package, which you might want to document further in the changelog etc. Include CHANGELOG in %doc
One other strenuous suggestion: Please query upstream to include a LICENSE file in the package. Especially with the BSD license that has several variants of which one can be problematic ("BSD with advertising"), this can be important.

Especially with the BSD license that has several variants of > which one can be problematic ("BSD with advertising"), this can be important. The license text for this package is actually included in (some of) the source files, and is the 3-clause BSD license without the advertising clause. It may not be possible to have a single license file because not all of the files have the same copyright holders.
Update the package according to comment #7. I can ask upstream if a license file can be included in the upstream tarball but I hope this package can be included in Fedora even without this. Updated files at: http://www.felix-schwarz.name/files/misc/2008/pypdf/1.10-4/

Please do; it's not a blocker though. > Updated files at: http://www.felix-schwarz.name/files/misc/2008/pypdf/1.10-4/ Approved. You can apply for cvsextras membership in the accounts system now.
