** N/A ** - SHOULD: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a

  Does not give me any hint about autoarchiver. Please give a better

I changed the license to GPL+, removed the needless COPYING, and informed upstream about the discrepancy.

The files are already UTF-8, aren't they?

There is an example configuration mentioned in the README. Pinged upstream about that
https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=2692252&group_id=239510&atid=1110082

> - command name "aa" does not remind me of "autoarchive", perhaps better
>   use autoarchive

This is upstream's call and not the one of the package maintainers.  I agree with you that the name would be better 'autoarchive' than 'aa'.

> - The name autoarchiver is sometimes written as AutoArchiver. Why the

The project is called 'AutoArchive' and the application stuff 'autoarchive'.  For me this seams a normal way to go. 'AutoArchive' for the python stuff is feasible, from my point of view.

done

As fare as I know is the intention of the summary to provide only very basic information about the tool.  But changed a bit.

Notes:
-Your package should BuildRequire: python-devel instead of python

A couple of additional notes - I just sponsored Julian.

> Notes:
> -Your package should BuildRequire: python-devel instead of python  

Actually, python-setuptools-devel pulls in python-devel, so that's not a problem. But it's better to BR it exclusively.

**

(The ./ in front of setup.py is unnecessary when run via python.)

**

I suggest using autoarchive instead of %{name} in the %files section for consistency.

**

Requires: lzma is not enough IMHO. The package seems to need also tar, gzip and bzip2.

Thank you guys.

After the review of Gratien I removed COPYING.  But the fixed version came back with 0.1.2.  COPYING added

For newer Fedora releases that's true.  For releases < F-11 the guidelines told another story.  Changed.

Yes, you are right, the 'archiver class' shows points that let indicate that all this tools are needed.

Here are the updated files:

Spec URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/autoarchive.spec
SRPM URL:
http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/autoarchive-0.1.2-2.fc11.src.rpm

You are still using the old spec file in the Spec URL link, but the one in the SRPM is good.
By the way, tar gzip and bzip2 are in the Base group anyway, you can't install Fedora without them. I wonder why these packages are not in the exception list in the Guidelines.

I can't see any further problems with the package.
