Spec URL: http://home.scarlet.be/~tsi30161/wine-doors.spec SRPM URL: http://home.scarlet.be/~tsi30161/wine-doors-0.1.2-1.fc9.src.rpm Description: Wine doors is an application designed to assist users in obtaining, installing, uninstalling and working around the caveats associated with wine applications. Although wine doors is intended to be a replacement for winetools it is not limited to release cycles for the applications available to install, instead a web service will be provided, this web service or repository will serve XML Pack Lists as an index of applications and Application Packs which provide information about specific applications as well as various other resources. As this software is useful and requested in the wish list, I've package it. There are still two problems: - rpmlint returns warnings cause of absolute links : wine-doors.noarch: W: symlink-should-be-relative /usr/share/pixmaps/wine-doors.png /usr/share/wine-doors/pixmaps/wine-doors.png wine-doors.noarch: W: symlink-should-be-relative /usr/bin/wine-doors /usr/share/wine-doors/src/winedoors.py wine-doors.noarch: W: symlink-should-be-relative /usr/share/pixmaps/wine-doors.svg /usr/share/wine-doors/pixmaps/wine-doors.svg - the setup.py doesn't find a dependence which is installed (the same code in a python shell and in the setup.py doesn't return the same output)
Regarding the symlinks, can't you relink them after 'make install'? In all cases, both the source and target will be under $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
This package seems to request info (xml form) form a website... At first sight this doesn't seems safe to me. This package may have a fedora‑review flag set to "-" I will do more indeep investigation.
Spec URL: http://home.scarlet.be/~tsi30161/wine-doors.spec SRPM URL: http://home.scarlet.be/~tsi30161/wine-doors-0.1.2-2.fc9.src.rpm I have fixed the relative symlinks issue and the package now use "desktop-file-install" (thanks to the help of the different fedora's chan); rpmlint doesn't return errors or warnings any longer. For requested info from a website, I will contact upstream for more information.
As Nicolas said, the package : - have to download scripts to works, it's quite dangerous and a sign that the method is not "mature" (well, it's a choice) - conduce the user to keep Windows' software and don't search open sourced alternatives which could be considered as against the Fedora's philosophy so, I decided to drop the review and send the package upstream for people who really want it.
