Spec URL: http://www.reinform.de/privat/bubeck/foxtrotgps.spec SRPM URL: http://www.reinform.de/privat/bubeck/foxtrotgps-1.1.1-1.fc17.src.rpm Description: FoxtrotGPS is an easy-to-use graphical tool that can be used to track the position of a GPS receiver on a map in relation to user-defined points of interest (POIs), a destination and waypoints, and tracks loaded from files or internet routing-services. FoxtrotGPS also allows internet-connected users to share their position with other users and send messages. By default is uses map data from the OpenStreetMap.org project; additionally a variety of other repositories can easily be added. Fedora Account System Username: bubeck

Hi, the directory %{_datadir}/foxtrotgps/ is unowned in the rpm. why does it requires jhead, and dbus ? You shouldn't set the vendor tag in the desktop file ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Desktop_files ) since that's a new package.
Danishka, why didn't you fill out the form completely? Updated on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GIS#Packages_on_review Waste defattr. Only EPEL 4 requires it. Also remove all specific EPEL 5 elements, if you don't go for it. Don't use vendor on the desktop file, as Michael already noticed, and don't use the fedora prefix. Also consider to use upstream's desktop file and add additional elements as described in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Desktop_files. gpsd must not be a Requires, as RPM adds this dependency on its own. gpscorrelate and jhead are only necessary for geotagging photos. I feel they should not be requirements. It seems to me, libsoup-devel is not necessary. Consider to use the name macro, where it makes sense.
Thanks to all valuable feedback. I uploaded a new version: Spec URL: http://www.reinform.de/privat/bubeck/foxtrotgps.spec SRPM URL: http://www.reinform.de/privat/bubeck/foxtrotgps-1.1.1-1.fc17.src.rpm I changed the following, according to your review comments: * %{_datadir}/foxtrotgps/ now owned by package * No use of vendor tag during desktop file install. * No vendor prefix for desktop file * usage of package supplied desktop file instead of own file * No defattr anymore * libsoup-devel is no BuildReq anymore. However, I did NOT follow the following review comments: * "gpsd must not be a Requires". I still list "gpsd" as a Requires, because rpm found only "gpsd-libs" as a requirement and foxtrotgps needs gpsd itself. * "gpscorrelate and jhead" are still Requires, and yes, they are only needed for geotagging. I kept them, because I think both packages are very small (< 200 KB) and leaving them out will result in loss of functionality which is hard to re-establish for newbies. So could you please review once more and set the "fedora-review flag" if nothing is wrong anymore? Otherwise please tell me and I will update the package ASAP.
When submitting new copies for review, please always write a changelog entry and bump the release number. Reviewers can easily distinguish between the copies then. jhead and gpscorrelate are actually half a megabyte, but I'm fine with that. I'd personally leave a comment in the spec file, explaining why they are required. rpmbuild creates Requires for linked libraries. This is what you see when you run rpm -q --requires foxtrotgps: ... libglib-2.0.so.0()(64bit) libgmodule-2.0.so.0()(64bit) libgobject-2.0.so.0()(64bit) >>>libgps.so.19()(64bit)<<< ... That's actually a lot better than just a name. It tells you when your package needs a rebuild, if there are incompatible ABI changes in a library. You therefore don't have to require gpsd. Rpmbuild figues it out itself, as it did for all the other libraries. You haven't addressed dbus from Michael's comment yet. %{_datadir}/foxtrotgps/foxtrotgps.glade -- This line is no longer necessary. If you don't go for EPEL 5: - Delete the clean section - Delete the first rm in the install section - Delete the buildroot definition Please decide for using either $RPM_BUILD_ROOT or %{buildroot}. I'd like to suggest again, to use the name macro, where it makes sense -- for instance in the desktop file. Cosmetics: Remove the trailing slash from the URL.
Again, thanks for your feedback. I removed dbus, which was also not necessary and followed all your comments. This results in Spec URL: http://www.reinform.de/privat/bubeck/foxtrotgps.spec SRPM URL: http://www.reinform.de/privat/bubeck/foxtrotgps-1.1.1-2.fc17.src.rpm "Alle guten Dinge sind drei, fertig?".
There's a typo in the last paragraph of the description: "By default is uses" should be "By default it uses". Consider to change "waypoints", as mentioned below. Please check the permissions of the tarball archive and the spec file when you check in. dbus-devel is unnecessary. Please also read the comments in the review. With all of them addressed, the package is ready to go and therefore approved. I also built a scratch in Rawhide.
