SRPM URL: http://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/nss_updatedb-10-1.fc12.src.rpm

Description: 
The nss_updatedb utility maintains a local cache of network directory user
and group information. Used in conjunction with the pam_ccreds module, 
it provides a mechanism for disconnected use of network directories.

Builds fine and rpmlint is silent.

You have "License: GPLv2" but nowhere do I see a version of the GPL specified.  According to the GPL text itself (section 9) we can choose any version we like.  This means that the license is GPL+.  Or do you see any language in the code or documentation which specifies "version 2 only"?

BTW, if you're going to require a recent rpm by leaving out BuildRoot:, you might as well drop the rpm -rf at the start of %install.

* source files match upstream.  sha256sum:

* package meets naming and versioning guidelines.
* specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently.
* summary is OK.                                                              
* description is OK.                                                          
* dist tag is present.
X license field does not seem to match the actual license.
* license is open source-compatible.
* license text included in package.
* latest version is being packaged.
* BuildRequires are proper.
* compiler flags are appropriate.
* %clean is present.
* package builds in mock (rawhide, x86_64).
* package installs properly.
* debuginfo package looks complete.
* rpmlint is silent.
* final provides and requires are sane:
   nss_updatedb = 10-1.fc12
   nss_updatedb(x86-64) = 10-1.fc12
  =
   libdb-4.7.so()(64bit)

* no shared libraries are added to the regular linker search paths.
* owns the directory it creates.
* doesn't own any directories it shouldn't.
* no duplicates in %files.
* file permissions are appropriate.
* no generically named files
* no scriptlets present.
* code, not content.
* documentation is small, so no -doc subpackage is necessary.
* %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package.

The package review process needs reviewers!  If you haven't done any package
reviews recently, please consider doing one.

Thanks Jason for reviewing, 

- Yeah, Licence was a gotcha, now I changed the License in the SPEC file to GPL+
- And removed the rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT from %install section 

updated SPEC and SRPM:

http://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/nss_updatedb.spec
http://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/nss_updatedb-10-2.fc12.src.rpm


Sure, will do package reviews.

Comment 3 Jason Tibbitts 2009-09-23 05:40:31 UTC
Where did the FE-NEEDSPONSOR blocker come from?

Comment 4 Kashyap Chamarthy 2009-09-23 05:51:21 UTC
Jason, 

- I forgot to mention, I'm not sponsored yet.

- I've also submitted another request

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524386

Status: Package APPROVED, but blocked by FE_NEEDSPONSOR.

Comment 5 Jason Tibbitts 2009-09-23 06:06:25 UTC
A package can't be in that state, because reviews of NEEDSPONSOR tickets must be done by a sponsor.

In any case, I'm not willing to sponsor you at this time, in part because I don't appreciate not being told up front that you need sponsorship.  I'm returning this package to the queue.

Comment 6 Kashyap Chamarthy 2009-09-28 11:26:25 UTC
Jason,

Firstly, Apologies. It's an inadvertent mistake I made. I'm new to Fedora process. Still learning.
