Developed for Linux with wxWidgets for GTK under Gnome. This is my first package try and I seek a sponsor.
Please set BLOCKS to FE-NEEDSPONSOR,so that sponsors can find you. This is a informal review Package Review ============== Key: - = N/A x = Check ! = Problem ? = Not evaluated Need to Fix these ================= 1) Summary is too short Media Player,try to expand it. 2) GROUP should be Applications/Multimedia not Application/media 3)Add gstreamer-devel in Buildrequires too and remove gcc-c++,by default gcc will handle it 4)Source should be http://downloads.sourceforge.net/guayadeque/guayadeque-0.2.5.tar.gz pleas refer https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL#Sourceforge.net 4)Description's each line should be <79 chars 5)Use either tabs or spaces,not both(together) 6)Remove taglib from requires,its handled by rpm 7)README says it needs sqlite3 === REQUIRED ITEMS === [x] Package is named according to the Package Naming Guidelines.

All pointed out errors (thanks for showing them up - I'm just learning) fixed (I hope properly). rpmlint (I didn't knew it earlier) shows no errors. SPEC and SRPM in new version replaced the originals (links remain the same). I'll set also the blocks as suggested (didn't found that part on wiki).
I'm also learning,We're in the Same Boat Brother ;) Few more things to fix rpmlint output =============== [imran@localhost SPECS]$ rpmlint guayadeque.spec ../SRPMS/guayadeque-0.2.5-1.fc11.src.rpm ../RPMS/i586/guayadeque-0.2.5-1.fc11.i586.rpm guayadeque.spec: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 11, tab: line 1) guayadeque.src: E: description-line-too-long Music Player with the aims to be intuitive, easy to use and fast even for huge music collections.

Developed for Linux with wxWidgets for GTK under Gnome. 2 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 2 errors, 2 warnings. * Please refer https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Common_Rpmlint_Issues#description-line-too-long * Run rpmlint on both the SRPM and the binary RPMs before uploading them for review * Increase the "Release" tag every time you upload a new package to avoid confusion. The reviewer and other interested parties probably still have older versions of your SRPM lying around to check what has changed between the old and new packages; those get confused when the revision didn't change.Also change revision number in changelog tag as 0.2.5-2 * No . at the end of summary Apart from these,spec looks ok to me. Also refer this URL http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Koji For scratch build on koji use command koji build --scratch dist-f14 <SRPM_file> Best of luck :)
There doesn't seem to be any response to comment 3, and the links are all dead.
