Spec URL: http://chkr.fedorapeople.org/review/nall.spec SRPM URL: http://chkr.fedorapeople.org/review/nall-1.0-1.fc11.src.rpm Description: Nall is a small gtk+ application that discretely fits into your freedesktop system tray (such as trayer). Its purpose is to spawn periodically every kind of script and display a one-line output in the tooltip window. The main usage of nall is monitoring or just notifying of almost everything (it just depends upon your imagination and ability to script).
Hi Christian, here are a couple of initial comments: - the .desktop must be properly installed (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#desktop) - drop INSTALL from %doc as it's not of much use in a binary rpm - in %files, add a trailing slash to %{_datadir}/nall to indicate that a folder is added - in Source0 and %files, replace "nall" with %{name}
Hi Martin, thanks for your comments!

Since the URL and the download directory can more or less arbitrarily chosen by upstream, I don't think that we should use rpm variables here. Sure, for the filename itself it makes sense, because in general we want that filename and package name match.

The package looks pretty clean now. I just suggest another minor enhancement: Although %{_bindir}/* adds the correct file at the moment, using "*" could become a bit dangerous here. It's better to be more restrictive and give the actual name of the added file: %{_bindir}/%{name} $ rpmlint /var/lib/mock/fedora-12-i386/result/*.rpm nall.i686: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US gtk -> gt, gt k, GTE nall.i686: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US freedesktop -> free desktop, free-desktop, desktop nall.i686: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US trayer -> tracer, trader, grayer nall.i686: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US tooltip -> tool tip, tool-tip, toolkit nall.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US gtk -> gt, gt k, GTE nall.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US freedesktop -> free desktop, free-desktop, desktop nall.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US trayer -> tracer, trader, grayer nall.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US tooltip -> tool tip, tool-tip, toolkit 3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 8 warnings.
