REVIEW:

+ rpmlint is silent

[petro@Sulaco SPECS]$ rpmlint ../RPMS/noarch/ar9170-firmware-2009.05.28-1.fc12.noarch.rpm 
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.
[petro@Sulaco SPECS]$

+ The package is named according to the  Package Naming Guidelines.
+ The spec file name matches the base package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec.

- The package DOES NOT meet the Packaging Guidelines - one missing "Requires: udev" (owner of /lib/firmware). Other things looks sane.

+ The package is licensed with a Fedora approved license and meets the Licensing Guidelines.
+ The License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
+ The file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package, is included in %doc.
+ The spec file is written in American English.
+ The spec file for the package is legible.
+ The sources used to build the package, match the upstream source, as provided in the spec URL.

[petro@Sulaco SOURCES]$ sha256sum ar9170.fw*

[petro@Sulaco SOURCES]$

+ The package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at least one primary architecture.
+ All build dependencies are listed in BuildRequires.
0 No need to handle locales.
0 No shared library files.
+ The package does NOT bundle copies of system libraries.
+ The package is not designed to be relocatable.
+ The package owns all directories that it creates.
+ The package does not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files listings.
+ Permissions on files are set properly.
+ The package has a %clean section, which contains rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
+ The package consistently uses macros.
+ The package contains code, or permissible content.
0 No extremely large documentation files.
+ Anything, the package includes as %doc, does not affect the runtime of the application.
0 No header files.
0 No static libraries.
0 No pkgconfig(.pc) files.
0 The package doesn't contain library files with a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so.1.1).
0 No devel sub-package.
+ The package does NOT contain any .la libtool archives.
0 Not a GUI application.
+ The package does not own files or directories already owned by other packages.
+ At the beginning of %install, the package runs rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
+ All filenames in rpm packages are valid UTF-8.

So, please, add the only missing Requires, and I'll continue.

BTW are there any particular reasons not to package ver. 2010-02-03 ? (

Doh!  Missed the Requires for udev -- that's what I get for copying an old spec file from another firmware package rather than taking the current version of that spec from CVS. :-)

The 2010-02-03 firmware version was published for comments and is really more of a "beta" release at this point.  I imagine it will be picked-up as an update, but just in case there is a problem I figured I'd get the package started with the stable version.

Comment 5 Peter Lemenkov 2010-02-09 14:39:24 UTC
Ok, understood. I don't see any other issues, and this package is


APPROVED.
