Spec URL: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/new/nwsserver.spec SRPM URL: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/new/nwsserver-1.5.2-1.fc10.src.rpm Description: NetWorkSpaces (NWS) is a powerful, open-source software package that makes it easy to use clusters from within scripting languages like Python, R, and Matlab. It uses a Space-based approach, similar to JavaSpaces (TM) for example, that makes it easier to write distributed applications. NWS looks and feels like a conventional workspace in the base scripting language, enables network script processes to share data, provides general distributed/parallel script execution, runs network script processes either uncoupled or coordinated, and dramatically increases developer productivity in implementing and maintaining distributed applications because of its anonymous communication.

+ rpmlint output + package name satisfies the packaging naming guidelines Although implemented in python, this is just a general program, and the name of the program is acceptable to Fedora. + specfile name matches the package base name + package should satisfy packaging guidelines Also checked Python guidelines, and OK. + license meets guidelines and is acceptable to Fedora + license matches the actual package license + %doc includes license file There isn't a license file, but %doc includes the nearest thing, and all source files are marked with the license anyway. + spec file written in American English + spec file is legible + upstream sources match sources in the srpm d321ae5fd3a363167ac27f7959b56c8a / 22331 bytes + package successfully builds on at least one architecture n/a ExcludeArch bugs filed + BuildRequires list all build dependencies n/a %find_lang instead of %{_datadir}/locale/* n/a binary RPM with shared library files must call ldconfig in %post and %postun + does not use Prefix: /usr + package owns all directories it creates + no duplicate files in %files + %defattr line + %clean contains rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT + consistent use of macros + package must contain code or permissible content n/a large documentation files should go in -doc subpackage + files marked %doc should not affect package n/a header files should be in -devel n/a static libraries should be in -static n/a packages containing pkgconfig (.pc) files need 'Requires: pkgconfig' n/a libfoo.so must go in -devel n/a -devel must require the fully versioned base n/a packages should not contain libtool .la files n/a packages containing GUI apps must include %{name}.desktop file + packages must not own files or directories owned by other packages + %install must start with rm -rf %{buildroot} etc. + filenames must be valid UTF-8 Optional: ? if there is no license file, packager should query upstream n/a translations of description and summary for non-English languages, if available + reviewer should build the package in mock + the package should build into binary RPMs on all supported architectures - review should test the package functions as described n/a scriptlets should be sane n/a pkgconfig files should go in -devel + shouldn't have file dependencies outside /etc /bin /sbin /usr/bin or /usr/sbin
