is this your first package ?

yes, my first package in bugzilla

looking at your spec file, I can see.

BuildRequires: courier-authlib-devel courier-authlib


these lines makes your package dependes on courier-authlib-devel courier-authlib, but these packages are not in fedora repos. so If you want to package courier-imap then you need to package the dependencies first.

courier-authlib-devel courier-authlib


:-)

you can grab the courier-authlib review here

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486570

and continue the work.

Make the spec and SRPM available via http (or ftp) as instructed in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join#Upload_Your_Package

You can drop most of the %attr straight away, since the attributes given to the files in %install are preserved in the RPM (644,root,root for 'normal' files and 755,root,root for directories, libraries and executables).

The config files
 %attr(0600,root,root) %{_sysconfdir}/imapd-ssl.dist
 %attr(0600,root,root) %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/imapd.cnf
 %attr(0600,root,root) %{_sysconfdir}/imapd.dist
 %attr(0600,root,root) %{_sysconfdir}/pop3d-ssl.dist
 %attr(0600,root,root) %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/pop3d.cnf
 %attr(0600,root,root) %{_sysconfdir}/pop3d.dist
 %attr(0600,root,root) %{_sysconfdir}/quotawarnmsg.example
may need to have their attributes set separately, but I recommend doing it in %install and dropping the %attr lines from %files which are IMHO a bit messy:
 find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_sysconfdir} -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \;
(This will find all files in /etc and set the permissions to 600.)

I'm afraid, he cannot. User can get space on Fedorapeople only after someone will sponsor him.

There's plenty of other (free) hosting available on the Internet, if he doesn't have a place yet.

courier-imap dependes on courier-authlib, feel free to review it first at.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486570

Spec URL: http://rafaelgomes.fedorapeople.org/courier-imap.spec
SRPM URL: http://rafaelgomes.fedorapeople.org/courier-imap-4.5.1-2.fc11.src.rpm

Please don't forget this bug!

I can help review this.

For starters,

1. SHOULD: 
This has some potential conflicts or at least confusing bits with uw-imap (and other imap/pop3 providers):

I'd suggest renaming man page items for starters including
%{_mandir}/man8/imapd.8.gz => %{_mandir}/man8/imapd.8courier.gz

Preferably too, generic binaries like:
%{_bindir}/imapd => %{_bindir}/courier-imapd
%{_bindir}/pop3d => %{_bindir}/courier-pop3d

and generic config items, move something like:
%{_sysconfdir}/* => %{_sysconfdir}/courier/

if at all possible.


2. MUST:
License: GPLv3 with openssl exception
(see COPYING)


3. SHOULD: include a startup script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ ?
See courier-imap.spec in tarball for an example

4. SHOULD: include pam configs ?
See courier-imap.spec in tarball for an example

ping?

Rafael Gomes asked to post SPEC and RPMS in your account, I have no account to submit them. Once I update it post.
I would anticipate that any recommendations were made.

Spec URL: http://techfree.com.br/archive/courier-imap.spec
SRPM URL: http://techfree.com.br/archive/courier-imap-4.7.0-1.fc11.src.rpm

Ping! Any news? This package is very important for a Brazilian project, please help us.

Thanks!

Any News!?

courier-imap.src: E: description-line-too-long C This package contains the standalone Courier IMAP server, which is used to provide IMAP access
courier-imap.src: E: description-line-too-long C to local mailboxes. Courier-IMAP is provided here as a separate package that can be used with
courier-imap.src: W: non-standard-group System/Servers
courier-imap.src: W: invalid-license GPLv3 with openssl exception
courier-imap.src: W: invalid-license see COPYING
courier-imap.src: W: strange-permission courier-imap.init 0755L

SHOULD: drop or fix Group tag

MUST: fix license, use something like this in .spec instead:
# SSL exception, see COPYING
License: GPLv3 with exceptions

naming: ok

SHOULD: drop unecessary
BuildRequires: courier-authlib
(which should already get pulled in from courier-authlib-devel)

MUST: fix remaining generic namespace collisions, and use courier- prefix everywhere.  examples include:
/etc/pam.d/imap
(since this currently Conflicts with cyrus-imap, grr, it should get fixed too )

SHOULD: other nice-to-have-fixed namespace issues include:
%{_sysconfdir}/imapd-ssl.dist
%{_sysconfdir}/imapd.cnf
%{_sysconfdir}/imapd.dist
%{_sysconfdir}/pop3d-ssl.dist
%{_sysconfdir}/pop3d.cnf
%{_sysconfdir}/pop3d.dist
%{_datadir}/mkimapdcert
%{_datadir}/mkpop3dcert
%{_libexecdir}/imapd-ssl.rc
%{_libexecdir}/imapd.rc
%{_libexecdir}/pop3d-ssl.rc
%{_libexecdir}/pop3d.rc

(libexecdir could potentially just use %{_libexecdir}/courier/ subdir, for example)

macros: NOT OK, MUST fix.  See:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Macros
in particular,
"Macro forms of system executables SHOULD NOT be used except when there is a
need to allow the location of those executables to be configurable. For
example, rm should be used in preference to %{__rm}, but %{__python} is
acceptable."

init: SHOULD: update to include systemd unit file, instead of sysv init
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Systemd
