I take this one. If you like, I'd appreciate a review of the tiny xqc package (bug #655866) :)

Some initial comments:

- The binary package provides the erlang extension library ebloom_nifs.so.
  Is this library supposed to be accessible by other external applications too?
  If not, I suggest to filter it from the provides list as described in
  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering

- you can simplify the %files section by replacing all file/dir lines with the
  single line
  %{_libdir}/erlang/lib/%{realname}-%{version}/
  But that's optional and a matter of personal preference

Yes, indeed - this should be filtered out.

http://peter.fedorapeople.org/erlang-ebloom.spec
http://peter.fedorapeople.org/erlang-ebloom-1.0.2-2.fc12.src.rpm

I added only filtering of internal dynamic library - no other changes.

Actually, I personally prefer to list them in this way :). I plan to write a checking tool which would analyze %files sections for my internal needs, so I would need full enumeration of packaged files and directories.

That's OK.

The package looks fine to me now. Just two minor notes (no blockers though):

- You can drop Requires: erlang-stdlib as it's a dependency of erlang-erts. 
  This would also remove the rpmlint error below.

- it would be nice if upstream could add the texts of the involved licenses 
  (CPL, ASL 2.0) 


$ rpmlint /var/lib/mock/fedora-14-i386/result/*.rpm
erlang-ebloom.i686: E: explicit-lib-dependency erlang-stdlib
erlang-ebloom.i686: W: no-documentation
erlang-ebloom.src: W: invalid-url Source0: basho-ebloom-ebloom-1.0.2-0-g0d070d8.tar.gz
3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 2 warnings.

- the error "explicit-lib-dependency" is false positive but can be avoided by 
  dropping Requires: erlang-stdlib

- the missing doc warning is expected and no blocker

Comment 5 Peter Lemenkov 2011-01-11 13:48:42 UTC
Thanks!

I'll contact upstream regarding adding explicit licensing information. As for erlang-stdlib - all these dependencies are automatically added, and I'll try to improve the scripts used for dependency resolution in the future.
