1.This is not the latest version. 

2. Have you tested its usability? This package has been packaged by myself for a long time, but because its upstream is dead, I'm not sure if it's useful.

http://code.google.com/p/liblunar/ shows that this is the latest one.

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/675/lunar-calendar/ depends on it.

Comment 3 Christopher Meng 2013-08-12 10:50:08 UTC
I can find 3.0 version.

Comment 4 Mike Manilone 2013-08-12 11:34:27 UTC
Nope, that's lunar-calendar, a graphical library targetting Gtk+3, while lunar-date is a low-level library for date conversion.

Have rpmlint and/or "fedora-review -b 995995" been run for this one yet?

  %files data
  %{_datadir}/liblunar/

would be shorter and achieves the same. 

Btw, here the subpackage includes only three tiny files, each below 1KB, and the base package even strictly depends on this package. Is that really enough reason to introduce a noarch subpackage?


> %package        docs

The guidelines recommend -doc not -docs:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Documentation

The subpackage is 14788 bytes long. I would keep it in the -devel package.
