SRPM: http://fedorapeople.org/~limb/review/lziprecover/lziprecover-1.13-1.fc16.src.rpm SPEC: http://fedorapeople.org/~limb/review/lziprecover/lziprecover.spec Description: Lziprecover is a data recovery tool and decompressor for files in the lzip compressed data format (.lz) able to repair slightly damaged files, recover badly damaged files from two or more copies, extract undamaged members from multi-member files, decompress files and test integrity of files. Lziprecover is able to recover or decompress files produced by any of the compressors in the lzip family; lzip, plzip, minilzip/lzlib, clzip and pdlzip. This recovery capability contributes to make the lzip format one of the best options for long-term data archiving. Recently split from the lzip package, already in Fedora.
The spec looks good although it's got a lot of the stuff that isn't necessary anymore unless you're going to build for EL5... BuildRoot: rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT in %install %clean %defattr in %files Obviously not a showstopper... full review to follow.

I'm assuming it's some sort of signature file but it's never installed anywhere so it's only in the SRPM. *** APPROVED ***
That's an excellent question I included it from the lzip spec, and I've seen several packages include them, but I've never seen anything done with them. I suppose it would ease verification of the SRPM vs. upstream for end users. Anyway, thanks for the review!
