Spec URL:
http://theory.physics.helsinki.fi/~jzlehtol/rpms/potrace.spec

SRPM URL:

Upstream URL:

Description:
Potrace(TM) is a utility for tracing a bitmap, which means, transforming a
bitmap into a smooth, scalable image. The input is a bitmap (PBM, PGM, PPM, or
BMP format), and the default output is an encapsulated PostScript file (EPS).
A typical use is to create EPS files from scanned data, such as company or
university logos, handwritten notes, etc. The resulting image is not "jaggy"
like a bitmap, but smooth. It can then be rendered at any resolution.

Potrace can currently produce the following output formats: EPS, PostScript,
PDF, SVG (scalable vector graphics), Xfig, Gimppath, and PGM (for easy
antialiasing). Additional backends might be added in the future.

Mkbitmap is a program distributed with Potrace which can be used to pre-process
the input for better tracing behavior on greyscale and color images. See the
mkbitmap examples page.


rpmlint output is clean.

Comment 2 Guido Grazioli 2009-08-03 11:21:50 UTC
Hello Jussi, you specfile seems to be in a very good shape; you only need to 
adjust main package comment:

Packagers should be careful how they use trademarks in Summary or Description. There are a few rules to follow:

    * Never use "(TM)" or "(R)" (or the unicode equivalents, ™/®). It is incredibly complicated to use these properly, so it is actually safer for us to not use them at all. 

Maybe the last line about examples page could go away too.

Comment 4 Guido Grazioli 2009-08-03 16:28:58 UTC
Hello Jussi, build in koji fails:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1576283

You need at least to include zlib-devel in BRs

guido

Comment 5 Guido Grazioli 2009-08-03 16:29:29 UTC
Yep, zlib-devel seems to be enough

Comment 7 Guido Grazioli 2009-08-05 13:50:37 UTC
Hi Jussi, sorry to be a bit late, theres a couple of things below

** - rpmlint output
4 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.
potrace-devel.x86_64: W: no-documentation

- you could move potracelib.pdf from -doc to -devel (it's the library developer manual) and let this warning go away

OK - The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines.
OK - The spec file name must match the base package %{name}
OK - The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines
OK - If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the
license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the
license(s) for the package must be included in %doc

** - The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and
meet the Licensing Guidelines 

license in SPEC is : GPL+ and LGPLv2+
looking at README you can safely use: GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+

NA - Every binary RPM package which stores shared library files must
call ldconfig in %post and %postun (no shared libs)

koji build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1583585
OK - The spec file must be written in American English.
OK - The spec file for the package MUST be legible.
OK - The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source, as
provided in the spec URL. 
e73b45565737d64011612704dd4d9f86  SOURCES/potrace-1.8.tar.gz
NA - The spec file MUST handle locales properly (no translations)
NA - package not relocatable
OK - A package must own all directories that it creates
OK - A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's
%files listings
OK - Permissions on files must be set properly
OK - Each package must have a %clean section
OK - Each package must consistently use macros
OK - The package must contain code, or permissable content 
OK - Large documentation files must go in a -doc subpackage (-doc present)
OK - If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the runtime of
the application
OK - Header files must be in a -devel package (-devel present)
OK - Static libraries must be in a -static package (static library present, but no shared libs, so everything goes in -devel)
NA - Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig'
OK - Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives
NA - Packages containing GUI applications MUST include a .desktop file (no gui)
OK - No file conflicts with other packages and no general names.
OK - At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf %{buildroot}
OK - All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8
OK - The package does not yet exist in Fedora. The Review Request is not a
duplicate.

Comment 8 Susi Lehtola 2009-08-06 10:12:08 UTC

http://theory.physics.helsinki.fi/~jzlehtol/rpms/potrace-1.8-4.fc11.src.rpm  

I actually changed the license tag to GPLv2+. I had probably been looking only at the source code headers, which didn't specify a version.

I didn't move the pdf to -devel, since the -doc package is almost as big as potrace and potrace-devel combined.

Comment 9 Guido Grazioli 2009-08-06 11:38:24 UTC
OK well done; package APPROVED.
