Description Fabian Affolter 2009-04-15 17:10:51 UTC
Spec URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/safecopy.spec
SRPM URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/safecopy-1.2-1.fc10.src.rpm

Project URL: http://safecopy.sourceforge.net/

Description:
safecopy is a data recovery tool which tries to extract as much data
as possible from a problematic (i.e. damaged sectors) source - like
floppy drives, harddisk partitions, CDs, tape devices, ..., where
other tools like dd would fail doe to I/O errors. 

Koji scratch build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1300628

rpmlint output:
[fab@laptop24 i386]$ rpmlint safecopy*
2 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.

[fab@laptop24 SRPMS]$ rpmlint safecopy-1.2-1.fc10.src.rpm 
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.

Comment 1 Susi Lehtola 2009-04-16 12:25:05 UTC

MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}. OK
MUST: The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the  Licensing Guidelines. OK

MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license. NEEDSFIX
- Source code contains no license headers.
- According to README: "Copyright 2009, distributed under terms of the GPL"
- Attached COPYING is GPLv2.

According to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing the correct license tag in this case is GPL+. Please contact upstream, if this is what they intended.

MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package. OK
MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package. OK
MUST: Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig'. OK
MUST: If a package contains library files with a suffix then library files ending in .so must go in a -devel package. OK

Comment 3 Susi Lehtola 2009-04-17 08:09:47 UTC
Okay. To me the license issue seems quite clear, since the Licensing guidelines are quite specific on the matter.

I'll trust you to change the license to GPL+ [unless upstream makes a new release with a different license before that] and fix the %doc section issues upon CVS import.


APPROVED
