I will take this package review. One question meanwhile, why is not this package NoArch? I only see octave code, I do not see any architecture dependent code in the final package.
OK, after looking into further detail you can ignore my last remark. Here follows the review with points to take care at the end. They are quite small but I would like to have your input on them.

Ok, I will take the "otherwise justified" route. Upstream made a deliberate choice to strip binaries upon installation. This however runs counter to our packaging guidelines (namely that we do not want useless debug packages). This patch just patches out the stripping on installation. This is, therefore, a fedora specific change, that needs not be reported to upstream (they will ignore it anyway as it runs counter to their decision) > * You can remove octave from the BuildRequires field since octave-devel already > requires it (as it is usual for all *-devel to depend on the non-devel part) Removed BR octave > * The description part could be expanded a bit (I am aware that this is what > shows the project page). I tried to come up with a slightly longer and more informative text.

That was already discussed in bug 693798. I am aware that is why I did not consider them to be an issue. On retrospective I should have placed a note saying exactly that. > > [!] : SHOULD - SourceX / PatchY prefixed with %{name}. > > Patch0: octave-struct-nostrip.patch > > (octave-struct-nostrip.patch) > > Changed to: > Patch0: %{name}-nostrip.patch > > > Issues: > > [!] : SHOULD - Patches link to upstream bugs/comments/lists or are otherwise > > justified. > > Ok, I will take the "otherwise justified" route. > > Upstream made a deliberate choice to strip binaries upon installation. > This however runs counter to our packaging guidelines (namely that we > do not want useless debug packages).

You can rephrase it as you wish, but you get the idea. > > * You can remove octave from the BuildRequires field since octave-devel already > > requires it (as it is usual for all *-devel to depend on the non-devel part) > > Removed BR octave > > > * The description part could be expanded a bit (I am aware that this is what > > shows the project page). > > I tried to come up with a slightly longer and more informative text. Usually it is nice to have a link for the new sources. It is not required but it is nice. :-)
(In reply to comment #4) > over the patch is enough. You can rephrase it as you wish, but you get the > idea. Now I understand; I've done now just that. > Usually it is nice to have a link for the new sources. It is not required but > it is nice. :-) Sorry about that, I just copied it at the original place. But here are the updated links: http://sailer.fedorapeople.org/octave-struct-1.0.9-3.fc15.src.rpm http://sailer.fedorapeople.org/octave-struct.spec
OK, thank you. :-) The packaged is APPROVED. BTW nice work with the description I really like it now. :-) I will have leave soon so I will not review the other packages until tomorrow. If there are cases that are similar to the issues raised in this package it would be nice if you could take care of them because then the review will be even easier. :-) At least but not at least nice work with this and all the other octave packages, it is appreciated. :-)
Thanks Jose! I will go over the other packages tomorrow. Those with a scratch build btw are those that should go in first, the others depend on those with scratch build.
