Description:
Hi,
I have created this package as a part om final project for my Software Build and Release course. I would appreciate a review on this package.

acpid is designed to notify user-space programs of ACPI events. This package is used in OLPC and I have edited it so that it can be used on x86_64 & ARM architectures.

Well, where Do I begin...

First, this package is already in Fedora, so it's not applicable to include it again.
Then: the name is wrong (contains also the version number)

I suggest, you read https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines

Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
I have question, I am fairly new in this, I would take look at guideline and correct the error.
As you said that the package is in Fedora already, can you please provide me a link to it?
Thank you.

Here it is:

You can't correct, because it's already there. You can only submit new packages for review. If you're looking for such a package, we have a wishlist:

Are you doing this just for fun or is it required to get the package really integrated into fedora? If yes, what are your plans to support the package in the future?
