#001 Please use "License: Public Domain". #002 Why do you have text enclosed in '@' in the Description? Please remove it. #003 Please change the permission on the .spec file and .tar.gz file to 0664.
(In reply to comment #1) > #001 Please use "License: Public Domain". Ah. Oops. Needs an email to the maint to ensure it's valid for Fedora anyways. > #002 Why do you have text enclosed in '@' in the Description? Please remove it. Used in cabal description and Haddock uses it. Missed it here > #003 Please change the permission on the .spec file and .tar.gz file to 0664. This is my umask. Won't be a problem in Fedora's git or the lookaside cache. I'll get around to this tonight hopefully.
"Public Domain" is a valid license for Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#Good_Licenses #004 Please post Koji builds for F-14, EL-6.
Hi Shakthi, We had similar issue with ghc-failure regarding the Public Domain license. http://www.mail-archive.com/legal@lists.fedoraproject.org/msg00377.html The resolution was to get the license changed from PublicDomain. Ben had contacted the author and got it changed.
I have sent an e-mail to the author of the project requesting for license change/clarification from PublicDomain. Awaiting a reply.
As earlier discussed on Fedora haskell-devel list, dropping libraries for now from the toplevel of Haskell-pkg-reviews, so we, the Haskell SIG, can focus more on getting Haskell apps into Fedora. To get you library back under the tracker please submit a bin or binlib package that depends on this library and make this bug block that package review. It is a good idea to submit full stacks of packages and then to add the toplevel program to the tracker.
Upstream has updated license to BSD3 with a new release 0.3.0.2. Can you please update your .spec file and make a new package release?

Shakthi, I will review it asap. Thanks for updating the package.
