Comment 2 Michael Schwendt 2013-07-06 14:58:01 UTC
> ./configure

Add a comment that explains why %configure cannot be used.


> Requires:       libbirdfont

This is the reverse case for
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Requiring_Base_Package
so apply %_isa in that dependency.

Splitting out a library subpackage when there is no API for that library, is a questionable decision, however. It's an unversioned lib even: %{_libdir}/lib%{name}.so


> %post -p /sbin/ldconfig
> %postun -p /sbin/ldconfig

Wrong package for those two.

Something wrong there for python-doit-0.21.0 in f19.

Comment 3 Christopher Meng 2013-07-06 15:09:23 UTC
Yes, there are some problem with doit, in fact this package cannot get PASS in the test.

I knew these, but then I found doit has bugs so I just rpmbuild -bs then upload.

I will wait.

Sorry for the delay, I've packaged 0.33(now 0.34 is released) but haven't tested yet, I will post the SRPM later(Next week).

If you find any bugs please feel free to submit them to upstream but not here :)

Will update.

Recent version depends on libxmlbird, and its building system is being rewritten, I will wait for a few days.

Comment 17 Package Review 2020-07-10 00:48:22 UTC
This is an automatic check from review-stats script.

This review request ticket hasn't been updated for some time. We're sorry
it is taking so long. If you're still interested in packaging this software
into Fedora repositories, please respond to this comment clearing the
NEEDINFO flag.

You may want to update the specfile and the src.rpm to the latest version
available and to propose a review swap on Fedora devel mailing list to increase
chances to have your package reviewed. If this is your first package and you
need a sponsor, you may want to post some informal reviews. Read more at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group.

Without any reply, this request will shortly be considered abandoned
and will be closed.
Thank you for your patience.
