Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~brouhaha/f3/f3.spec SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~brouhaha/f3/f3-2-1.fc16.src.rpm Description: F3 is a utility to test for fake flash drives and cards. It is a Free Software alternative to h2testw. f3write will fill the unused part of a filesystem with files NNNN.fff with known content, and f3read will analyze the files to determine whether the contents are corrupted, as happens with fake flash.
I think the group you picked is wrong: Development/Languages. You can drop "-n %{name}-%{version}", because it's the default. I'm not sure, whether "analyze the files to determine whether the contents are corrupted, as happens with fake flash." is perfectly fine English, but I'm no native speaker. Rpmlint also complain about "filesystem", which is probably fine as well.

Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~brouhaha/f3/f3.spec SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~brouhaha/f3/f3-2-2.fc16.src.rpm Koji scratch build for rawhide: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4189363 Updated per review comments. I believe the English grammar and usage is correct; as you point out, "filesystem" is domain-specific jargon.
