Spec URL: http://sundaram.fedorapeople.org/packages/simple-scan.spec SRPM URL: http://sundaram.fedorapeople.org/packages/simple-scan-0.9.5-1.fc12.src.rpm Description: Simple Scan is an easy-to-use application, designed to let users connect their scanner and quickly have the image/document in an appropriate format.
Builds in mock, rpmlint output: simple-scan.src: W: strange-permission simple-scan-0.9.5.tar.gz 0600L simple-scan.src: W: no-cleaning-of-buildroot %install simple-scan.src: W: no-buildroot-tag simple-scan.x86_64: W: non-conffile-in-etc /etc/gconf/schemas/simple-scan.schemas 3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 4 warnings. The permission issue, you should probably fix when committing this to cvs, the rest are ignorable.
As an aside, I notice the following in the docs: PNG files are not compressed like JPEG so they contain the raw data from the scanner. This makes them much larger and not suitable for distributing. If you have scanned multiple pages then a PNG file will be written for each page. This seems confusing at best. The important difference between PNG and JPEG is not compressed vs uncompressed, but lossless vs lossy compression. Of course, it _could_ be that the application decides to save PNG uncompressed, but that would just be a very bad choice...
I don't have a scanner to test this with here at home, but at least the application detects this and handles it nicely.
checklist: package name: ok spec file name: ok packaging guidelines: you need to add the usual gconf schema scriptlets, and the patch should have an upstream bug ref or something like that license: ok license field: ok license file: ok spec file language: ok spec file legible: ok upstream sources: ok buildable: ok ExcludeArch: ok, none BuildRequires: the GConf2 BR is redundant, GConf2-devel will pull it in. Might be nice to group the autofoo + gnome-common requires with the patch that makes them necessary, and also add a comment to the autogen call that ties it to the patch locale handling: ok shared libs: ok, none system libs: ok relocatable: ok directory ownership: might want to require yelp, for /usr/share/gnome/help (and to make help work) duplicate files: ok file permissions: ok %clean: ok macro use: ok permissible content: yes large docs: ok %doc content: ok headers: ok, none static libs: ok, none pc files: ok, none shared libs: ok devel package: ok libtool archives: ok gui apps: ok duplicate ownership: ok %install: outdated checklist item utf8 filenames: ok trivia: some trailing whitespace in the spec...

Updated spec as per review http://sundaram.fedorapeople.org/packages/simple-scan.spec http://sundaram.fedorapeople.org/packages/simple-scan-0.9.5-2.fc12.src.rpm
Would be great to see this in F13 as gnome-scan does not really work for me and is basicly unmaintained¹ now... [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/simple-scan/+bug/483669/comments/1
Looks good now. Approved.
