$ rpmlint /home/rnorwood/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/pyabiword-0.6.1-1.fc9.i386.rpm
pyabiword.i386: W: no-documentation
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.

o AUTHORS and COPYING are good candidates for marking as
%doc. (COPYING must be included).  Also, the contents of the examples/
directory could be included.

o The source files don't include a license, which they should.
The contents of the COPYING file (GPLv2) isn't enough to indicate the
license.  See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/FAQ

o The 'Vendor' tag should not be used according to Fedora packaging guidelines.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines

Everything else looks ok to me.  Once the above issues are fixed, I can approve.


Comment 2 Robin Norwood 2008-07-22 16:32:08 UTC
Oops, I shouldn't have set the review flag to '-' while awaiting these fixes.

Comment 3 Marc Maurer 2008-07-22 17:51:14 UTC
Spec URL: http://uwog.net/~uwog/pyabiword.spec
SRPM URL: http://uwog.net/~uwog/pyabiword-0.6.1-2.fc9.src.rpm

Changes:
- Added documentation, including examples
- Removed old Vendor tag

Re licensing: I think the implied version is GPLv2+, as pyabiword links with
libabiword. I'd prefer to update the spec when I get explicit approval from all
contributors though.

Comment 4 Robin Norwood 2008-07-22 22:10:49 UTC
Sorry, I neglected to check for missing BuildRequires - These needed to be added
for the package to build in koji:

BuildRequires: gtk2-devel
BuildRequires: libglade2-devel
BuildRequires: libgnomeprintui22-devel
BuildRequires: goffice04-devel
BuildRequires: enchant-devel
BuildRequires: fribidi-devel
BuildRequires: wv-devel


Comment 5 Robin Norwood 2008-07-22 22:12:51 UTC
Assuming license issues and BR's are added, this gets a pass from me.

Comment 7 Kevin Fenzi 2008-07-23 03:11:09 UTC
Can we please sort out the license before importing/building? 
We don't want to distribute something we are unsure of the license of... 

Comment 8 Marc Maurer 2008-07-23 09:09:23 UTC
I am _sure_ it is GPL1+ now, because that is actually how the license works: if
no explicit version is given, and that copyright file is included, then it is
GPLv1+. That's just how it works. I asked some of the pyabiword devs, and they
agree with that.

Now, that does not mean that I can't make the next release v2+ (which I will do,
but 'relicencing' always takes time), but _this_ release is GPLv1+.

Comment 9 Kevin Fenzi 2008-07-23 15:41:14 UTC
Ah indeed... sorry for the confusion on my part here, I was thinking there was
no indication what the license was at all. :( 

cvs done.
