Comment 1 William Witt 2010-03-11 02:12:51 UTC
Below is an informal review:
(extract from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ReviewGuidelines)

* MUST: rpmlint must be run on every package. The output should be posted in the review.[1]

[ unamanic@gimli:~ ] $rpmlint /home/unamanic/rpmbuild/SRPMS/pidgin-birthday-reminder-1.4-1.fc12.src.rpm /home/unamanic/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/pidgin-birthday-reminder-1.4-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm /home/unamanic/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/pidgin-birthday-reminder-debuginfo-1.4-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm
pidgin-birthday-reminder.src: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) plugin -> plug in, plug-in, plugging
pidgin-birthday-reminder.x86_64: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) plugin -> plug in, plug-in, plugging
3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings.

* MUST: A package must own all directories that it creates. If it does not create a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does create that directory. [13]

is "# Pidgin package doesn't own sounds/pidgin/ dir" a bug against pidgin?

* MUST: Each package must consistently use macros. [17]

changing $RPM_BUILD_ROOT to %{buildroot} for consitancy would improve consistency

* SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file should contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available. [29]

are translations available?

Thanks for the review, William.

No, I don't think it's pidgin's bug. That comment in the spec file is just a reminder for myself why I had to own this directory. On pidgin's point of view, there is no reason why pidgin should own this dir: it doesn't place any files in there, and also it's not a standard directory where plugins would put stuff.

So right now I think it's best if pidgin-birthday-reminder owned this dir.

According to [1], choosing $RPM_BUILD_ROOT vs %{buildroot} is left entirely up to the packager. What matters is that $RPM_BUILD_ROOT should not be mixed with %{buildroot} in one spec.

[1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Using_.25.7Bbuildroot.7D_and_.25.7Boptflags.7D_vs_.24RPM_BUILD_ROOT_and_.24RPM_OPT_FLAGS

No, none are available.

Seems good, however files have GPLv2+ and COPYING GPLv3.

Please contact upstream to clarify.

What is the correct URL?

This
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin-birthday/
or
  http://freakazoid.teamblind.de/2009/02/14/pidgin-birthday-reminder/

I actually believe that it's fine to ship GPLv3 COPYING file with sources that are GPLv2+. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/FAQ#How_do_I_figure_out_what_version_of_the_GPL.2FLGPL_my_package_is_under.3F

However, GPLv3 COPYING file might still confuse people. I talked with the upstream author about that and he updated the COPYING file in SVN to contain the GPLv2 license text:
http://pidgin-birthday.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pidgin-birthday?view=rev&revision=61

All right, I guess the latter one has more info.

I see no problems, only a small comment: wav files might belong in
/usr/share/sounds/purple, that's a upstream issue not a review thing.

Comment 6 Terje Røsten 2010-03-18 18:59:55 UTC
And the conclusion is package pidgin-birthday-reminder is 
  
 APPROVED.
