Description Thomas Moschny 2009-01-18 11:22:32 UTC
Spec URL: http://thm.fedorapeople.org/botan.spec
SRPM URL: http://thm.fedorapeople.org/botan-1.8.0-1.fc10.src.rpm

Description:
Botan is a BSD-licensed crypto library written in C++. It provides a
wide variety of basic cryptographic algorithms, X.509 certificates and
CRLs, PKCS \#10 certificate requests, a filter/pipe message processing
system, and a wide variety of other features, all written in portable
C++. The API reference, tutorial, and examples may help impart the
flavor of the library.

Scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1063508

Comment 1 Jochen Schmitt 2009-01-18 19:14:43 UTC
Good:
+ Basename of SPEC file matches with package name
+ Package contains proper License tag
+ License tag contains BSD as a proper OSS license
+ Package contains verbatin copy of the license text
+ Package contains most recent version of the software
+ Tar ball in source package matches with upstream
(md5sum: 827c81f42cd1c118fc9bf1891be7cde5)
+ source package could downloaded form upstream with spectool
+ consistently usage of rpm macros
+ Build use RPM_OPT_FLAGS
+ Package contains devel subpackage
+ Devel subpackage has proper Requires to main package
* Local build works fine
+ Build use _smp_mflags
+ Rpmlint quite on source package
+ Rpmlint quite on binary package
+ Rpmlint quite on debuginfo package
+ Local install works fine
+ Rpmlint is quite on installed package
+ Package contains a testsuite in the %check stanza
+ Local uninstall works fine
+ Main package contains proper ldconfig scriptlets
+ Buildroot will be cleaned on the beginning of the %clean and %install stanza
+ All files of the package are owned by the package
+ %files stanza contains no duplicated file definiton
+ There are no file conflict with other packages
+ All packaged files has proper files permissions
+ As far as I can see, system libraries for bzis2, openssl and zlib was used.
+ %doc stanza is small, so we need no separate doc subpackage
+ Build on Koji works fine

Bad:
+ The files tutorial.* and api.* should be part of the devel subpackage stanza,
because they contains explainations how to develope applications for this
library

TODO:
- Please notify upstream, that each source file should have a proper
copyright notice

You package is APPROVED, if you may move the tutorial.* and api.* doc files into the
%doc stanza of the devel subpackage

Package Change Request
======================
Package Name: botan
New Branches: EL-5
Owners: thm

Sorry, forgot that in the original request. The monotone package currently has a copy of botan, which is going to be changed in one of the next releases. That was the main reason for packaging botan now.
