Description Nick Bebout 2011-03-18 01:29:46 UTC
Spec URL: http://nb.fedorapeople.org/review/perl-NTLM.spec
SRPM URL: http://nb.fedorapeople.org/review/perl-NTLM-1.05-1.fc15.src.rpm
Koji scratch build URL: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2922330
Description: 

This module provides methods to use NTLM authentication.  It can be used
as an authenticate method with the Mail::IMAPClient module to perform
the challenge/response mechanism for NTLM connections or it can be used
on its own for NTLM authentication with other protocols (eg. HTTP).

The spelling errors are not errors.

Comment 2 Ruediger Landmann 2011-03-18 05:10:34 UTC
General observations:

* use a macro for the version in the SOURCE0 line
* you don't need to explicitly Require perl(Digest::HMAC_MD5)
* please BR: perl(Test::Pod) to enable the test (not a blocker though)
* thanks for working with upstream to get the license clarified. However, we now have a package that's (dual) licensed under the GPL, but does not ship with a copy of the GPL. I'm not sure what needs to happen here, so am requesting guidance from legal list. At the very least, please add the file that contains that email to the %docs line, since it's considered part of the license now.

Also, unless you're planning to build this for EL5, you don't need:
* the BuildRoot: line
* the %clean section
* to clean the buildroot in the %install section.

Otherwise, all good! Hopefully, we'll get something definitive on the license question pretty quickly.

Question on legal list: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/legal/2011-March/001578.html

Comment 5 Ruediger Landmann 2011-03-20 22:48:38 UTC
Thanks Nick -- looks good now. Spot's response on legal list boils down to:

* please ask upstream to include a copy of the GPL in source

* if they don't want to do that, send them a copy of the GPLv1 and ask them if it's OK for you to include that file in the version of the module shipped in Fedora.

* if they don't want to include it themselves and don't want you to include it, refer back to legal-list.

Comment 6 Ruediger Landmann 2011-03-23 05:56:10 UTC
Sorry Nick; I've done a bit more digging and conclude that I've been a bit too paranoid here. 

It turns out, however, that although you don't need to explicitly Require perl(Digest::HMAC_MD5), you *do* need to BR: it. 

If you fix that, I'm happy to approve the package.

Comment 8 Ruediger Landmann 2011-03-24 22:36:22 UTC
OK: all good now. Many thanks, and sorry again for the delay.

ACCEPT

Comment 9 Ruediger Landmann 2011-03-24 23:44:38 UTC
Unblocking FE-Legal -- the way this module is packaged is consistent with common packaging practice
