Spec URL: http://ueno.fedorapeople.org/gcal/gcal.spec SRPM URL: http://ueno.fedorapeople.org/gcal/gcal-3.6-1.fc15.src.rpm Description: Gcal is a program for calculating and printing calendars. Gcal displays hybrid and proleptic Julian and Gregorian calendar sheets, respectively. It also displays holiday lists for many countries around the globe.
I'm not a sponsored packager yet, so I'll just be doing an informal review of this package.

Basic testing of the gcal command doesn't seem to have turned up any issues. OK - Scriptlets should be sane N/A - Non-devel subpackages should require the base package with a full version N/A - pkgconfig files should be placed appropriately N/A - File dependencies outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin should require package instead ! - Binaries/scripts should have man pages Issues ====== The binaries in the package are missing man pages, although they have quite comprehensive info documentation. Perhaps upstream could be asked to convert some of the docs? $ rpmls gcal-3.6-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm [...] -rw-r--r-- /usr/share/gcal/CREDITS -rw-r--r-- /usr/share/gcal/Makefile.in -rw-r--r-- /usr/share/gcal/README [...] It seems a bit odd that these files are installed under /usr/share - are they needed, or can they just be excluded? I don't think any of these issues are blocking though, so were I a sponsored packager, I would declare this package APPROVED.
(In reply to comment #1) Thank you for the review. > The binaries in the package are missing man pages, although they have quite > comprehensive info documentation. Perhaps upstream could be asked to convert > some of the docs? The man pages are available in the upstream git repository but not in the tarballs. So I included them in the new SRPM. > $ rpmls gcal-3.6-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm > [...] > -rw-r--r-- /usr/share/gcal/CREDITS > -rw-r--r-- /usr/share/gcal/Makefile.in > -rw-r--r-- /usr/share/gcal/README > [...] > > It seems a bit odd that these files are installed under /usr/share - are they > needed, or can they just be excluded? Hmm, at least Makefile.in is useless - removed. > I don't think any of these issues are blocking though, so were I a sponsored > packager, I would declare this package APPROVED. Thanks, I'll ask someone to do the formal review - based on your comprehensive review, it should be quick.

Review result: [x] - OK, [-] - needs fix [-] MUST: rpmlint must be run on the source rpm and all binary rpms the build produces. I think its better to add a group to the spec file. [x] MUST: The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines . [x] MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec [-] MUST: The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines Please use optflags when building: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Compiler_flags [x] MUST: The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the Licensing Guidelines . [x] MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license. [x] MUST: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package must be included in %doc.[4] [x] MUST: The spec file must be written in American English. [x] MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible. [x] MUST: The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source, as provided in the spec URL. Reviewers should use md5sum for this task. If no upstream URL can be specified for this package, please see the Source URL Guidelines for how to deal with this. [x] MUST: The package MUST successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at least one primary architecture. [x] MUST: If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on an architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec in ExcludeArch. 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. [x] 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. [x] MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the %find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden. [N/A] 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. [x] MUST: Packages must NOT bundle copies of system libraries. [N/A] 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. [x] 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. [x] 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) [x] MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be set with executable permissions, for example. Every %files section must include a %defattr(...) line. [x] MUST: Each package must consistently use macros. [x] MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content. [x] 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). [x] 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. [N/A] MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package. [N/A] MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package. [N/A] MUST: If a package contains library files with a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so.1.1), then library files that end in .so (without suffix) must go in a -devel package. [N/A] MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release} [x] MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be removed in the spec if they are built. [x] 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. [x] 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. [x] MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8. [x] 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. [25] [x] SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file should contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available. [26] [x] SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock. [27] [x] SHOULD: The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported architectures. [28] [x] SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as described. A package should not segfault instead of running, for example. did some simple run. [x] SHOULD: If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. This is vague, and left up to the reviewers judgement to determine sanity. [29] [N/A] SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base package using a fully versioned dependency. [21] [N/A] 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. [30] [N/A] 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. [31] [x] SHOULD: your package should contain man pages for binaries/scripts. If it doesn't, work with upstream to add them where they make sense.[32] $ rpmlint gcal.spec gcal-3.6-2.fc15.src.rpm /home/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/gcal-3.6-2.el6.i686.rpm gcal.spec: W: no-cleaning-of-buildroot %clean gcal.spec: W: no-buildroot-tag gcal.spec: W: no-%clean-section gcal.spec: W: invalid-url Source1: gcal-man-v3.6.tar.gz gcal.spec: W: invalid-url Source0: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcal/gcal-3.6.tar.xz <urlopen error ftp error: timed out> gcal.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US proleptic -> narcoleptic, proletarian, proletariat gcal.src: W: non-standard-group Unspecified gcal.src: W: no-cleaning-of-buildroot %clean gcal.src: W: no-buildroot-tag gcal.src: W: no-%clean-section gcal.src: W: invalid-url Source1: gcal-man-v3.6.tar.gz gcal.src: W: invalid-url Source0: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcal/gcal-3.6.tar.xz <urlopen error ftp error: timed out> gcal.i686: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US proleptic -> narcoleptic, proletarian, proletariat gcal.i686: W: non-standard-group Unspecified 2 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 14 warnings.
