--- Comment #23 from Christoph Wickert <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>  2009-01-11 20:02:48 EDT ---
The requirements are still not correct. It often makes sense to use file
dependencies, for some deps it is actually needed: /usr/bin/cdrecord and
/usr/bin/mkisofs can be provided by different packages but not only by wodim.
Also the name of a package might change over time as it did with
/usr/bin/logger, so it's better to require the file.

This is what I suggest:

Requires:       /usr/bin/logger
Requires:       /usr/bin/mkisofs
Requires:       /usr/bin/cdrecord
Requires:       bc
Requires:       bzip2
Requires:       coreutils
Requires:       diffutils
Requires:       dvd+rw-tools
Requires:       less
Requires:       ftp
Requires:       genisoimage
Requires:       gettext
Requires:       gnupg
Requires:       gzip
Requires:       openssh-clients
Requires:       rsync
Requires:       sed
Requires:       tar
Requires:       which 

I also removed zip, because I doubt someone will use zip archives for backups
as they can't store permissions. lzma and dar are also not very common, so I
wouldn't add them. I would also remove rsync, but this is your decision.


Please replace %{_var}/lib/ with %{_localstatedir} in your spec.

Hint: If you want to use a macro like "%{_var}/lib/" in the changelog, you need
to escape it as "%%{_var}/lib/", not "_{_var}/lib/"

You have added %{_var}/lib/%{name} to the %files list, but you also need to
create the dir during install, otherwise it wont get included in the package.

Please remove the "It just works." from the description, because we don't want
these kind of "advertising" in our packages.

Some trivial typos in changelog: Fixe -> Fix


No no need for making a new package now, just fix the spec and post the link
here. I will look after the patch to get rid of the hardcoded patch in the
meantime. Stay tuned.
