Some quick comments... - You added 'BuildRequires: gettext-devel' 'BuildRequires: gettext' is sufficient - I guess that all patches are coming from Debian. Am I right? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#All_patches_should_have_an_upstream_bug_link_or_comment - Is rpmlint not complaining about the NEWS file? - In this tarball is a .desktop file too. You should add it. libgksu: gksu-properties.desktop gksu: gksu.desktop
NEWS-file sorry, I have forget it to remove the NEWS-file, its an empty file gettext-devel. Strange, i made this error in every package, up to now, sorry! The Desktopfile It's a little tricky. The desktopfile tries to open a terminalemulator via gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator x-terminal-emulator is a setting in update-alternatives for debian and debian based distros. seems like fedora don't use this or a similar alternative to set a terminal. so this file will be needless, or? all patches are from the gksu-debianpackage upstream = debian package maintainer of gksu & libgksu fixed: news file and gettext and patchcomment, split the nautlis extension in an extra subpackage SPEC: http://cassmodiah.fedorapeople.org/gksu-2.0.0/gksu.spec URL: http://cassmodiah.fedorapeople.org/gksu-2.0.0/gksu-2.0.0-2.fc10.src.rpm Only rpmlint-error: gksu-nautilus-extension.i386: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-gksu.a i think this won't be a problem, or?
close bug, because there is no benefit for fedora if you`re not agree and think this would be a good package you can reopen it. the spec and srpm will be preserved.
I have to use a program that requires gksu, I could patch the application or ask upstream to change it but it seems like too much work and I don't see why gksu can't be included in Fedora anyway. I would hope this can be re-opened as I also have another program I need to use for work that's not open source that depends on gksu.
Does anyone have a copy of the spec or src RPM? The links are dead
