Description David Nalley 2010-09-15 16:41:00 UTC
Spec URL: http://ke4qqq.fedorapeople.org/spew.spec
SRPM URL: http://ke4qqq.fedorapeople.org/spew-1.0.8-1.fc13.src.rpm
Description: 
Spew is used to measure I/O performance of character devices, block devices,
 and regular files. It can also be used to generate high I/O loads to stress
systems while verifying data integrity.

Comment 1 Terje Røsten 2010-09-15 20:03:26 UTC
Looks good, some small comments:

 - list bins more explicit (like the mans)
 - list man like this: %{_mandir}/man1/gorge.1*
 - Group:          Applications/Internet seems a bit strange?
 - remove leading space in second line in %description
 - nice if you could provide a scratch build

Comment 2 David Nalley 2010-09-15 20:37:49 UTC
Thanks for taking a look! The scratch build uncovered a few BR problems. 
I fixed the remaining items

Comment 3 Martin Gieseking 2010-09-16 08:11:06 UTC
Here are some more (minor) notes:

- You can drop "Requires: ncurses" as none of the ncurses command-line tools 
  seem to be used. The package containing the ncurses libraries (ncurses-libs) 
  is added automatically as a dependency.

- drop file INSTALL from %doc (it's not of much use in a binary package)

- add a blank line between the %changlog revisions to increase legibility

Comment 4 David Nalley 2010-09-16 13:18:52 UTC
- Dropped ncurses as a requires
- dropped install from doc
- added blank line between changelog entries

Comment 5 Martin Gieseking 2010-09-16 16:11:23 UTC
OK, the package looks fine now. I'm going to do the formal review.

Comment 6 Martin Gieseking 2010-09-16 16:36:03 UTC
Here's the formal review. Since I couldn't find any further issues, the package is ready now.
