I'm still looking to get sponsored myself, but I have 2 comments. 1) You need to add the following in order to use desktop-file-install: BuildRequires: desktop-file-utils The build fails in mock because of this. 2) I'm not sure about the language package subpackages either: I don't think that they should be in subpackages, but you should ask someone more knowledgeable. As for the language files, see this: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Handling_Locale_Files
Oh, and are you sure that the package summary "Git based backup software" is correct? :p
Okay, I've added desktop-file-utils to BuildRequires and fixed the summary. Copy&Paste Specfiles is evil ;-)
Heiko, I'm willing to take this, we need a nice pino replacement in the repos ;) Are you already a packager? If yes, what's your FAS account name? :)
I'm not yet a packager. I'm just a noob knocking on the door

(In reply to comment #5) > I'm not yet a packager. I'm just a noob knocking on the door Oh, okay. That means I can't do the review, because you have to find a sponsor first. I'll set the FE-NEEDSPONSOR flag so sponsors will notice the bug and know that you need one. To make the review a bit easier and get you something to do while you're waiting (it can take a while until some sponsor finds time on his hands to guide you through the process), I'll just make a few quick comments on the spec file: - the language packs are overkill for such a small package, you can just leave them out and include all translations in the main package :) - Python packages must not Require: python, but set a BuildRequires on python2-devel. The Requires on gtk2 is also not needed, as it gets pulled in by pygtk2 anyway. - why do you pull the source from bzr? It is much easier to maintain the package if you use upstream release tarballs (currently version 0.2.1) - rather use 644 instead of 755 as permissions when installing, these files don't need to be executable - putting all .py files into /usr/bin is not a good solution. Rather install a shell script to /usr/bin that starts heybuddy (called "heybuddy") and put the .py files to /usr/share/heybuddy/ (the macro for /usr/share/ is %{_datadir}). Remember you'll have to change the "Exec=" in the .desktop file then. - you should rather install the icon to /usr/share/pixmaps and call it heybuddy.png. This way, you can just use Icon=heybuddy in the desktop file and it will work out. I hope this is not too discouraging to begin with :) If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. You might also be interested in these two links (the list appears to be long, but you'll get the feeling for how to do things in a little while ;) ) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python
Thanks for your tipps. I've updated the spec-file and srpm: Spec URL: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/oqch96tll8f22j8/heybuddy.spec?dl=1 SRPM URL: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/cvpjx7yheflau63/heybuddy-0.2.2bzr-3.20110616.fc15.src.rpm?dl=1
Another update. Fixed some small things in the specfile and updates heybuddy to a newer revision to fix a security issue Spec URL: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/oqch96tll8f22j8/heybuddy.spec?dl=1 SRPM URL: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/2zqxfdockyxnzwc/heybuddy-0.2.2bzr-4.20110619.fc15.src.rpm?dl=1

One thing I noticed in passing: It seems you should be using the %find_lang macro instead of hardcoding locale paths, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Handling_Locale_Files
The locale thing is indeed odd, and in addition this package has many of the issues I pointed out in the review of the gnome-encfs ticket.
