Description Sergio Pascual 2008-09-25 08:15:27 UTC
Spec URL: http://sergiopr.fedorapeople.org/chktex.spec
SRPM URL: http://sergiopr.fedorapeople.org/chktex-1.6.4-1.fc9.src.rpm
Description: This program has been written in frustration because some constructs in LaTeX are sometimes non-intuitive, and easy to forget. It is _not_ a 
replacement for the built-in checker in LaTeX; however it catches some 
typographic errors LaTeX oversees. In other words, it is Lint for LaTeX. 
Filters are also provided for checking the LaTeX parts of CWEB documents.

Comment 1 Jason Tibbitts 2008-10-03 20:13:57 UTC
This is a rather simple package.  Unfortunately I'm not terribly well-versed in TeX so it's tough for me to test it, but I ran it over the sample documents and it produced output which makes sense to me.  I think I see some UTF-8 issues in the output (it uses ASCII 180 directly in the output when it probably shouldn't) but I don't think that's really a blocker, especially given the age of the code.

The only thing rpmlint has to say is:
  chktex.x86_64: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/chktexrc
Shouldn't this file be marked %config?

There's actually a small test suite included; you should run it (via "make check" or, since you seem to prefer those long macros, "%{__make} check", in a %check section).  It should pass without problems.

* source files match upstream:
   268b615ed45422adbf4b908898548fea8fa2a5be0a83c976e239b6779a51b691  
   chktex-1.6.4.tar.gz
* package meets naming and versioning guidelines.
* specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently.
* summary is OK.
* description is OK.
* dist tag is present.
* build root is OK.
* license field matches the actual license.
* license is open source-compatible.
* license text not included upstream.
* 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.
X rpmlint has a valid complaint.
* final provides and requires are sane:
   chktex = 1.6.4-1.fc10
   chktex(x86-64) = 1.6.4-1.fc10
  =
   /bin/sh
   /usr/bin/perl

X %check is not present, but there's a test suite.
* no shared libraries are added to the regular linker search paths.
* owns the directories it creates.
* doesn't own any directories it shouldn't.
* no duplicates in %files.
* file permissions are appropriate.
* code, not content.
* documentation is small, so no -doc subpackage is necessary.
* %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package.
* no headers.
* no pkgconfig files.
* no static libraries.
* no libtool .la files.

The package review process needs reviewers!  If you haven't done any package
reviews recently, please consider doing one.

I have added a %check rule in the specfile and made the file in etc a config file

Spec URL: http://sergiopr.fedorapeople.org/chktex.spec
SRPM URL: http://sergiopr.fedorapeople.org/chktex-1.6.4-2.fc9.src.rpm


Yes, I should definitively make some reviews...

Comment 3 Jason Tibbitts 2008-10-07 15:10:33 UTC
The second URL seems to be invalid.  It doesn't seem as if the updated spec and package were uploaded.

Comment 4 Sergio Pascual 2008-10-07 15:21:19 UTC
Oh great! I forgot to upload them. Now it should work, sorry

Comment 5 Jason Tibbitts 2008-10-07 18:24:05 UTC
Thanks.  This looks good to me; rpmlint is silent and the small test suite passes.

APPROVED
