In fact, trustyRC is a kernel that load features such as log system, configuration parser, networking, etc, and ... a plugin (un)loader. All plugins can communicate with other ones and this system provides high flexible maintenance. A plugin can be loaded/unloaded while the bot is running. So if a plusgin needs to be updated, it can be unloaded, rebuilded, and reloaded. During this steps, the bot will never stop. Plugins are stored in shared librairies witch contains new features. When the .so file is loaded, features are added to the bot, and when the plugin is unloaded, features are no more usable. rpmlint output : [eponyme@FEDOBOX tmp]$ rpmlint trustyrc-0.1.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm [eponyme@FEDOBOX tmp]$ rpmlint trustyrc-plugins-0.1.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm trustyrc-plugins.i386: W: no-documentation [eponyme@FEDOBOX tmp]$ rpmlint trustyrc-plugins-extras-0.1.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm trustyrc-plugins-extras.i386: W: no-documentation [eponyme@FEDOBOX tmp]$ rpmlint trustyrc-debuginfo-0.1.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm [eponyme@FEDOBOX tmp]$ rpmlint trustyrc-0.1.1-1.fc9.src.rpm [eponyme@FEDOBOX tmp]$ Rebuild under mock is OK.
I just took a quick look. Here are a few comments: The compiler is not called with the proper flags (%{optflags} or $RPM_OPT_FLAGS depending on your preference). This misses all of the default Fedora security options and results in the debuginfo package missing all of the source code. I'd say the security options are especially important for something that's going to be subjected to constant untrusted network input such as an IRC bot. If you're going to use "%{__sed}" instead of "sed", you need to use "${__rm}" instead of "rm". I personally prefer the non-macro versions, but it's up to you; just be consistent. The license seems to me to be GPLv2+; where do you see it restricted to v2 only? The source files include the "any later version" language. A couple of English notes: "IRC robot fully modular" sounds better as the summary of this ticket: "Fully modular IRC robot". "Extras plugins" should be "Extra plugins".

I note you didn't update the summary. I'm not going to block this package because of language issues, but I would really suggest using something like the following, which I have written using your original text and applying as few changes as I could in order to make the result parse in English: Summary: Fully modular IRC robot %description trustyRC is a fully modular IRC robot which includes all of the common bot features (channel moderation, administration, account system, quotes) and much more. trustyRC is comprised of a a kernel and a plugin loader which loads features such as a log system, configuration parser, networking, etc. All plugins can communicate with others, providing a highly flexible system. A plugin can be loaded or unloaded while the bot is running, so if a plugin needs to be updated, it can be unloaded, rebuilt and reloaded. During this, the bot does not need to be stopped. Plugins are stored in shared libraries; a plugin's features are available to the bot when the plugin is loaded and those features are removed when the plugin is unloaded. * source files match upstream: 3a499e5a9303f77e5e6b5fdb93abaefe8d4a906476d0e1eabb1a1241a644b502 trustyrc-0.1.1.tar.gz * package meets naming and versioning guidelines. * specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently. ? summary is difficult to understand in English. ? description is very difficult to parse in English. * dist tag is present. * build root is OK. * license field matches the actual license. * license is open source-compatible. * license text included in package. * latest version is being packaged. * BuildRequires are proper. * compiler flags are appropriate. * %clean is present. * package builds in mock (rawhide, x86_64). * package installs properly. * debuginfo package looks complete. * rpmlint has acceptable complaints. * final provides and requires are sane: trustyrc-0.1.1-2.fc10.x86_64.rpm config(trustyrc) = 0.1.1-2.fc10 trustyrc = 0.1.1-2.fc10 = config(trustyrc) = 0.1.1-2.fc10 libgcc_s.so.1()(64bit) libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0)(64bit) libstdc++.so.6()(64bit) libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3)(64bit) libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4)(64bit) libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.9)(64bit) libtinyxml.so.0()(64bit) trustyrc-plugins trustyrc-plugins-0.1.1-2.fc10.x86_64.rpm admin.so()(64bit) ctcp.so()(64bit) ignore.so()(64bit) infos.so()(64bit) moderation.so()(64bit) module.so()(64bit) ping.so()(64bit) postconnect.so()(64bit) usersinfos.so()(64bit) trustyrc-plugins = 0.1.1-2.fc10 = libgcc_s.so.1()(64bit) libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0)(64bit) libstdc++.so.6()(64bit) libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3)(64bit) libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4)(64bit) trustyrc = 0.1.1 trustyrc-plugins-extras-0.1.1-2.fc10.x86_64.rpm advertising.so()(64bit) bashfr.so()(64bit) bzrh.so()(64bit) fedorafr.so()(64bit) fedoraproject.so()(64bit) gameserver.so()(64bit) ipconverting.so()(64bit) lamoule.so()(64bit) magic8ball.so()(64bit) pluginsample.so()(64bit) quotes.so()(64bit) slapme.so()(64bit) survey.so()(64bit) tele.so()(64bit) trad.so()(64bit) trustyrc-plugins-extras = 0.1.1-2.fc10 = libcurl.so.4()(64bit) libgcc_s.so.1()(64bit) libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0)(64bit) libstdc++.so.6()(64bit) libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3)(64bit) libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4)(64bit) trustyrc = 0.1.1 * %check is not present; no test suite upstream.

I'm sorry tibbs, I had not realized that I had to update the whole description. I really need to improve my English. Perhaps I could update it before commit?
Your English is certainly better than my French; I just thought it might be a bit more readable with a few cleanups. There's certainly no need to apologize. You are welcome to use the version I posted or not, and you are free to update before or after you check the package in, as you prefer.
