SRPM URL: http://psabata.fedorapeople.org/pkgs/ii/ii-1.6-1.fc16.src.rpm
Description:
A minimalist FIFO and filesystem-based IRC client. It creates an IRC directory
tree with server, channel and nick name directories. In every directory a
FIFO in file and a normal out file is created.

Comment 1 Volker Fröhlich 2012-01-28 17:40:31 UTC
Please build verbosely by removing the @-sign from the compiler invocation.

"Public domain" is for query.sh?

Ok, I updated the package with
sed -i 's!@${CC}!${CC}!' Makefile

> "Public domain" is for query.sh?

Yes.

Package Review
==============

Key:
- = N/A
x = Pass
! = Fail
? = Not evaluated



==== C/C++ ====
[x]: MUST Package does not contain any libtool archives (.la)
[x]: MUST Package does not contain kernel modules.
[x]: MUST Package contains no static executables.
[x]: MUST Rpath absent or only used for internal libs.
[x]: MUST Package is not relocatable.


==== Generic ====
[x]: MUST Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets
     other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging
     Guidelines. 
[x]: MUST Package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at
     least one supported primary architecture.
[x]: MUST All build dependencies are listed in BuildRequires, except for any
     that are listed in the exceptions section of Packaging Guidelines.
[x]: MUST Buildroot is not present
     Note: Unless packager wants to package for EPEL5 this is fine
[x]: MUST Package contains no bundled libraries.
[x]: MUST Changelog in prescribed format.
[x]: MUST Package has no %clean section with rm -rf %{buildroot} (or
     $RPM_BUILD_ROOT)
     Note: Clean would be needed if support for EPEL is required
[x]: MUST Sources contain only permissible code or content.
[x]: MUST Each %files section contains %defattr if rpm < 4.4
     Note: Note: defattr macros not found. They would be needed for EPEL5
[x]: MUST Macros in Summary, %description expandable at SRPM build time.
[-]: MUST Package requires other packages for directories it uses.
[x]: MUST Package uses nothing in %doc for runtime.
[x]: MUST Package is not known to require ExcludeArch.
[x]: MUST Permissions on files are set properly.
[x]: MUST Package does not contain duplicates in %files.
[x]: MUST Spec file lacks Packager, Vendor, PreReq tags.
[x]: MUST Package does not run rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT) at the
     beginning of %install.
     Note: rm -rf would be needed if support for EPEL5 is required
[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 is included in %doc.
[!]: MUST License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.

I'm not sure about that one: Public domain is probably compatible (as with the GPL) and you can re-license it as MIT.

[x]: MUST Package consistently uses macros (instead of hard-coded directory
     names).
[x]: MUST Package meets the Packaging Guidelines.
[x]: MUST Package is named according to the Package Naming Guidelines.
[x]: MUST Package does not generates any conflict.
[x]: MUST Package obeys FHS, except libexecdir and /usr/target.
[-]: MUST Package must own all directories that it creates.
[-]: MUST Package does not own files or directories owned by other packages.
[x]: MUST Package installs properly.
[-]: MUST Requires correct, justified where necessary.
[x]: MUST Rpmlint output is silent.

Not silent, but nothing to worry about.

[x]: MUST Spec file is legible and written in American English.

[-]: MUST Package contains a SysV-style init script if in need of one.
[x]: MUST File names are valid UTF-8.
[x]: SHOULD Reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
[-]: SHOULD If the source package does not include license text(s) as a

     include it.
[x]: SHOULD Dist tag is present.
[x]: SHOULD No file requires outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
     /usr/sbin.
[x]: SHOULD Final provides and requires are sane (rpm -q --provides and rpm -q
     --requires).
[?]: SHOULD Package functions as described.
[x]: SHOULD Package does not include license text files separate from

[-]: SHOULD Description and summary sections in the package spec file contains
     translations for supported Non-English languages, if available.
[x]: SHOULD Package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported
     architectures.
[-]: SHOULD %check is present and all tests pass.

There are none

[!]: SHOULD Packages should try to preserve timestamps of original installed
     files.

The manpage looses its original timestamp.

[x]: SHOULD Spec use %global instead of %define.

Issues:
[!]: MUST Rpmlint output is silent.

'Public domain' is okay according to Fedora licensing [1].  I, as a distributor, don't plan to re-license upstream content.  Let's leave that to users.

I've changed the spelling to 'file-system' since I had done other changes to upstream description too (like letter case).

It does -- try it, it's fun :)

Comment 5 Volker Fröhlich 2012-02-02 23:32:08 UTC
Please always bump the release number and create a changelog entry when you change something. It's a lot easier for reviewers.

While I'm sure the license of query.sh is free, it is not "Public domain", saying "Do whatever you want".

Could you just clarify that case on the Fedora legal mailing list for the sake of correctness?

Oh, I was just blindly assuming everybody uses git or some other versioning system.  I'll try next time.

It's not?

Yes, I'll do that.
