Hi a while back qmidiarp existed as a fairly simple MIDI arpeggiator. It has recently been re-imagined and extended and is currently under heavy development. SRPM and SPEC file can be found here: http://bsjones.fedorapeople.org/qmidiarp-0.3.9-1.fc14.src.rpm http://bsjones.fedorapeople.org/qmidiarp.spec Rpmlint output: rpmlint ../SRPMS/qmidiarp-0.3.9-1.fc14.src.rpm qmidiarp.src: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) arpeggiator -> arpeggiate, arpeggio, appoggiatura qmidiarp.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US arpeggiators -> arpeggiate, arpeggios, arpeggio qmidiarp.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US arp -> rap, Arp, ar 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 3 warnings. I will need to be sponsored as this will be my first package thanks Brendan Jones FAS: bsjones
I think it's OK to leave "arpeggiator" untouched, because not all dictionaries know about all existing words. The package has properly built on my system. Some issues regarding the spec file: - Please use macros consistently. In "Source2" and in the "%files" section, you should replace the original package name with %{name}, as you already did in the other rows. - If you are using spaces within key/value pairs such as "Name:" or "Version:" please use a whitespace count which leads to a better readability. I would recommend using tabs instead of normal whitespace characters here. - Although your package doesn't install SVG icons, the %post and %postun macros refer to the SVG folder. Don't know what to do in this case, I assume the folder path has to be changed to the correct installation folder of the icon.

The spec file in the SRPM differs from the one given as a separate URL. The latter installs an SVG rather than a PNG. The proper scriptlets to update the icon cache are listed here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets#Icon_Cache Here are some additional comments: - according to the source file headers, the license is GPLv2+ - adapt Source0 according to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL#Sourceforge.net - replace the suffix .1.gz with .1* in %files since we should not rely on a concrete compression format - I recommend to replace %{_datadir}/man with %{_mandir}
Thanks for the suggestions and corrections! I have not used a macro in the SVG source file. It is likely to change upstream soon. I have updated SPEC and SRPM here: http://bsjones.fedorapeople.org/qmidiarp-0.3.9-2.fc14.src.rpm http://bsjones.fedorapeople.org/qmidiarp.spec rpmlint output remains unchanged -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Hi Brendan, the package looks almost fine. Please adapt the scriptlet parts related to updating the icon cache according to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets#Icon_Cache "touch" and "gtk-update-icon-cache" should be applied to the top level icon directory (%{_datadir}/icons/hicolor).
Thanks Martin. Updated links below. http://bsjones.fedorapeople.org/qmidiarp-0.3.9-3.fc14.src.rpm http://bsjones.fedorapeople.org/qmidiarp.spec -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Brendan, the package looks good now. I just recommend to insert some blank lines to increase legibility (before %prep and between the %changelog entries), but that's only cosmetic. If you don't have a sponsor yet, I can sponsor you if you're willing to do some informal reviews of other packager's submissions. Since you've already commented on a couple of packages, you shouldn't have too many difficulties with it.
Thanks Martin - that would be great! I will update the spacing soon. I have performed an additional informal review here: Bug 678980 -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
OK, great. I'll have a look at your review later today.

Thanks again! New SPEC and SRPM here with requested changes: http://bsjones.fedorapeople.org/qmidiarp-0.3.9-5.fc14.src.rpm http://bsjones.fedorapeople.org/qmidiarp.spec -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Brendan, sorry for being pedantic, but if you prefer to use the %name macro, please adapt all filenames in the %files section, including the manpages. ;)
No problem! Changed here: http://bsjones.fedorapeople.org/qmidiarp-0.3.9-6.fc14.src.rpm http://bsjones.fedorapeople.org/qmidiarp.spec -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
OK. The package is ready now. ---------------- Package APPROVED ----------------
