Description Peter Robinson 2009-06-24 14:08:52 UTC
SPEC: http://pbrobinson.fedorapeople.org/anerley.spec
SRPM: http://pbrobinson.fedorapeople.org/anjal-0.1.0-1.20090624git0424e38.fc11.src.rpm

An email client for netbooks which uses evolution-data-server as a backend

Comment 1 Alexander Boström 2009-07-07 20:56:44 UTC
The Summary and %description seems wrong. (Btw I wouldn't put "which uses evolution-data-server as a backend" in there. Highlight what makes it special instead!)

Comment 2 Peter Robinson 2009-07-07 21:42:17 UTC
I'll review it an update it but its a small light email client for netbooks :)

Comment 3 Peter Robinson 2009-07-08 10:09:10 UTC
SRPM: http://pbrobinson.fedorapeople.org/anjal-0.1.0-2.20090624git0424e38.fc11.src.rpm

Updated the description to:

Anjal is a mail client for small screen devices like NetBooks. It features a nice multi-line 
message list, with text-preview of the latest messages in the thread. It supports a tab 
interface for folders, new mail and config. Being based on evolution it supports all the 
same mail backends including POP3, IMAP4, Exchange and GroupWare.

Comment 4 Peter Robinson 2009-07-21 23:15:10 UTC
Updated to a new upstream git snapshot and added anerley as a blocker as its now required.

SRPM: http://pbrobinson.fedorapeople.org/anjal-0.1.0-2.20090722gitcbb3f4c.fc11.src.rpm

Comment 5 Peter Robinson 2009-08-11 20:21:27 UTC
Updated anjal snapshot including a spec cleanup. Also updated the release numbering to the Fedora pre release 0.x scheme.

SPEC: as before
SRPM: http://pbrobinson.fedorapeople.org/anjal-0.1.0-0.3.20090811git813fc0f.fc11.src.rpm
koji: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1599410

Comment 6 D. Marlin 2009-08-18 21:42:53 UTC
- I believe configure will be run twice, once in the prep stage (through autogen.sh) and once in the build stage.

The following autogen.sh command line should avoid this:

  # run autogen.sh until we have a proper release, but don't run configure twice.
  NOCONFIGURE=yes ./autogen.sh


- I think the spec file should be using desktop-file-install instead of just validating the .desktop file.

-desktop-file-validate %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/%{name}.desktop
+desktop-file-install \
+        --dir=%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications \
+        %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/%{name}.desktop


- rpmlint complains:

anjal.i686: W: incoherent-version-in-changelog 0.1.0-0.3 ['0.1.0-0.3.20090811git813fc0f.fc12', '0.1.0-0.3.20090811git813fc0f']

It seems to be confused by the "snapshot tag" in the release.  Perhaps modify the %changelog entry to match?

Comment 7 Peter Robinson 2009-08-18 22:38:28 UTC

You are correct. I'll look into it.

desktop-file-validate is fine according to package guidelines.

Its fine, basically the 0.3 part of the version is enough and most packages leave off the full git tag.
