[x]: MUST Sources used to build the package match the upstream source, as provided in the spec URL. [1] [x]: MUST Spec file is legible and written in American English. [x]: MUST Spec file name must match the spec package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec. [-]: MUST Package contains systemd file(s) if in need. [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 separate file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it. [x]: SHOULD Dist tag is present.

[x]: MUST Javadoc documentation files are generated and included in -javadoc subpackage Note: No javadoc subpackage present [x]: MUST Javadoc subpackages have Requires: jpackage-utils [x]: MUST Javadocs are placed in %{_javadocdir}/%{name} (no -%{version} symlink) [x]: SHOULD Package has BuildArch: noarch (if possible) [x]: SHOULD Package uses upstream build method (ant/maven/etc.) Notes / Issues: [1] It would really be better to get the source from SCM: http://jdbm.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jdbm/jdbm/?pathrev=V1_0 While the standard packaging guidelines prefer a release tarball over SCM, the src zip provided is not a full source tree, and is intended mostly for use in debugging. For example, LICENSE.txt and README.txt are present in SCM, but not in the src zip. [2] The License field is incorrect. The JDBM License is actually an ASL 1.1-style license, which is often mistaken for a BSD license. I'm checking to see whether legal needs to okay this. [3] The "ant -f src/build.xml tests.run" line should be in a %check section, according to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Test_Suites [4] The main package should require jpackage-utils. Please correct these. I will investigate the license.
Regarding the license, Tom Callaway noted that this license is the same as the jCharts license, which Fedora does regard as a BSD variant: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/BSD#jCharts_Variant So, I retract my note about the license change. :)
No problem, I was a little unsure about the license myself :) Will get you an updated srpm soon.
Here's the new srpm with fixes included. Spec URL: http://madsa.fedorapeople.org/jdbm.spec SRPM URL: http://madsa.fedorapeople.org/jdbm-1.0-2.fc17.src.rpm
I'm going to approve this, but your changelog entry produced an rpmlint warning: jdbm.src:87: W: macro-in-%changelog %check You should either use "%%" for a literal %, or just remove that character entirely from that line. Please fix that before you commit.
