Spec URL: http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din.spec SRPM URL: http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din-1.5.8.0-2.fc14.src.rpm Description: din ("din is noise") is a "tone board" making the rectangular plane of its screen into a field of sound you can transform. The video above just begins to show some of what it can do. Pixels can be tones, transformed onscreen. A resonator editor uses Bezier curves to edit sounds across octaves. Each resonator, in turn, can be edited with yet more Bezier curves. Put them together into the drone editor (the bit you see in the video), and you can create vast, sculpted soundscapes from series of rectangles dragged around between octaves.

This package depends upon libircclient, for which I have submitted a separate review request https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700818
New version with better %description: http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din.spec http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din-1.5.8.0-2.fc14.src.rpm
Oops: http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din-1.5.8.0-3.fc14.src.rpm
New upstream release: http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din.spec http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din-1.5.9-1.fc14.src.rpm
Another new upstream release: http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din.spec http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din-1.6.1-1.fc14.src.rpm

Don't know whether you noticed in the recent release notes, but a "factory reset" has been required i.e. removing ~/.din if you've used an earlier version. I tried that just know with a local build of my 1.6.1 package and it starts up and runs fine. Could you try again after renaming your ~/.din? (Mine is on F14 - haven't upgraded my main desktop yet)

New version at: http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din.spec http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din-1.6.3-1.fc14.src.rpm Andrew - could you try this one and see if you see the same crashes?

I've uploaded a new build which includes the latest upstream release (1.6.6): http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din.spec http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din-1.6.6-1.fc14.src.rpm Could you give it a try and see if it still crashes?
Update to 1.9.2: http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din.spec http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din-1.9.2-1.fc16.src.rpm
Some initial comments: Please submit more information about the patches. Are they already filed as upstream bugs? What are they needed for? %configure --localstatedir=/usr/share Probably it would be better to use %{datadir} instead of the hardcoded /usr/share, if possible. I had a look at some file headers in /src and they say that the license is GPLv2 with the option to use newer versions, that's why the license field has to be GPLv2+. You might drop automake from BR, because it is needed by SDL-devel anyway.
Ping...?
The patches are to fix non-Fedora-style paths e.g. libircclient/libircclient.h. I've just made a new version that doesn't address all your comments but does at least build with the latest upstream release: http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din.spec http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din-3.5-1.fc17.src.rpm

Spelling errors are of minor importance. Well, "waveform" should be "wave form". To be ignored: 404 links (the download location is reachable), missing man pages. Incorrect FSF addresses need to be reported to the upstream people. /usr/share/din/checkdotdin.in is a shell script without executable bit. But I think it's an artifact from the autotools installation. We have the final script named checkdotdin in /usr/bin. Is the *.in predecessor even needed? The header of /usr/bin/checkdotdin is #! /bin/sh datadir0=/usr/local/share/din/ datadir1=$HOME/\.din/ Please test it if it works with the /usr/local declaration. As already mentioned, change the license from GPLv2 to GPLv2+. Moreover, the file NEWS has to be added to %doc. Finally, drop automake from BR because it is needed by SDL-devel.
Should have a fixed package in the next day or so.
I've contacted upstream again about the out of date COPYING file (I mailed originally a year ago). I'm working on fixing checkdotdin properly, while I've included NEWS and fixed the license field. Will upload a new version with the checkdotdin fix soon. There's nothing wrong with the word "waveform", whatever rpmlint thinks...
Okay, there's a new version that patches checkdotdin to use the correct path and should fix the other problems available at: http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din.spec http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din-3.5-2.fc17.src.rpm As mentioned previously, the upstream author has said he'll fix the out of date COPYING file in the next release.

This appears to be fixed by re-instating automake. New version at: http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din.spec http://verdurin.fedorapeople.org/reviews/din/din-3.5-3.fc17.src.rpm
Meant to add that my f16/f17 mock builds didn't have this problem, so it must be a change in f18.

Each architecture listed in ExcludeArch MUST have a bug filed in bugzilla, describing the reason that the package does not compile/build/work on that architecture. The bug number MUST be placed in a comment, next to the corresponding ExcludeArch line. [+] MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any that are listed in the exceptions section of the Packaging Guidelines ; inclusion of those as BuildRequires is optional. Apply common sense. [.] MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the %find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden. [.] MUST: Every binary RPM package (or subpackage) which stores shared library files (not just symlinks) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths, must call ldconfig in %post and %postun. [+] MUST: Packages must NOT bundle copies of system libraries. [.] MUST: If the package is designed to be relocatable, the packager must state this fact in the request for review, along with the rationalization for relocation of that specific package. Without this, use of Prefix: /usr is considered a blocker. [+] MUST: A package must own all directories that it creates. If it does not create a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does create that directory. [+] MUST: A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files listings. (Notable exception: license texts in specific situations) [+] MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be set with executable permissions, for example. [+] MUST: Each package must consistently use macros. [+] MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content. [.] MUST: Large documentation files must go in a -doc subpackage. (The definition of large is left up to the packager's best judgement, but is not restricted to size. Large can refer to either size or quantity). [+] MUST: If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the runtime of the application. To summarize: If it is in %doc, the program must run properly if it is not present. [.] MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package. [.] MUST: Development files must be in a -devel package. [.] MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release} [.] MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be removed in the spec if they are built. [+] MUST: Packages containing GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop file, and that file must be properly installed with desktop-file-install in the %install section. If you feel that your packaged GUI application does not need a .desktop file, you must put a comment in the spec file with your explanation. [+] MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages. The rule of thumb here is that the first package to be installed should own the files or directories that other packages may rely upon. This means, for example, that no package in Fedora should ever share ownership with any of the files or directories owned by the filesystem or man package. If you feel that you have a good reason to own a file or directory that another package owns, then please present that at package review time. [+] MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8. [.] SHOULD: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a separate file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it. [.] SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file should contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available. [+] SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock. See Koji build above (which uses Mock anyway). [.] SHOULD: The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported architectures. [+] SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as described. A package should not segfault instead of running, for example. [+] SHOULD: If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. This is vague, and left up to the reviewers judgement to determine sanity. [.] SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base package using a fully versioned dependency. [.] SHOULD: The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files depends on their usecase, and this is usually for development purposes, so should be placed in a -devel pkg. A reasonable exception is that the main pkg itself is a devel tool not installed in a user runtime, e.g. gcc or gdb. [.] SHOULD: If the package has file dependencies outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin consider requiring the package which provides the file instead of the file itself. [.] SHOULD: your package should contain man pages for binaries/scripts. If it doesn't, work with upstream to add them where they make sense. ---------------- PACKAGE APPROVED ---------------- If you don't want to provide it for EPEL 5, please remove the obsolete stuff (BuildRoot, %clean, %defattr etc.)
