--- Comment #2 from Sandro Mathys <sm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>  2009-09-21 08:35:27 EDT ---
Okay, this looks fine on the first glance. Let's work through the MUST and the
SHOULD lists.

---

NOK MUST:   rpmlint must be run on every package. The output should be posted
in the review.

I get a different output:
$ rpmlint {SPECS,RPMS/i586,SRPMS}/rhnsd*
rhnsd.i586: W: service-default-enabled /etc/rc.d/init.d/rhnsd
rhnsd.i586: W: service-default-enabled /etc/rc.d/init.d/rhnsd
rhnsd-debuginfo.i586: E: debuginfo-without-sources
3 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 2 warnings.

I agree that rhnsd should be enabled by default and that therefore the warning
can be ignored. The error must be fixed, tho.

OK  MUST:   The package must be named according to the Package Naming
Guidelines.

OK  MUST:   The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the
format %{name}.spec unless your package has an exemption.

NOK MUST:   The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines.

`make` is missing: %{?_smp_mflags} CXXFLAGS="%{optflags}"

OK  MUST:   The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and
meet the Licensing Guidelines.

NOK MUST:   The License field in the package spec file must match the actual
license.

AFAICS you state 'GPLv2' in the spec file while the rhnsd.c reads 'GPL'.

N/A MUST:   If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the
license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the
license(s) for the package must be included in %doc.

OK  MUST:   The spec file must be written in American English.

OK  MUST:   The spec file for the package MUST be legible.

Personally, I'd see that everything abov of %description is aligned (e.g. the
pkg names in the requires section).

OK  MUST:   The sources used to build the package must match the upstream
source, as provided in the spec URL. Reviewers should use md5sum for this task.
If no upstream URL can be specified for this package, please see the Source URL
Guidelines for how to deal with this.

8ead968af7384d2a5e822baa8ec4e2b6  rhnsd-4.5.12.tar.gz

OK  MUST:   The package MUST successfully compile and build into binary rpms on
at least one primary architecture.

F11 i586

N/A MUST:   If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on an
architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec in
ExcludeArch. Each architecture listed in ExcludeArch MUST have a bug filed in
bugzilla, describing the reason that the package does not compile/build/work on
that architecture. The bug number MUST be placed in a comment, next to the
corresponding ExcludeArch line.

OK  MUST:   All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for
any that are listed in the exceptions section of the Packaging Guidelines ;
inclusion of those as BuildRequires is optional. Apply common sense.

OK  MUST:   The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using
the %find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden.

N/A MUST:   Every binary RPM package (or subpackage) which stores shared
library files (not just symlinks) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths,
must call ldconfig in %post and %postun.

OK  MUST:   Packages must NOT bundle copies of system libraries.

N/A MUST:   If the package is designed to be relocatable, the packager must
state this fact in the request for review, along with the rationalization for
relocation of that specific package. Without this, use of Prefix: /usr is
considered a blocker.

OK  MUST:   A package must own all directories that it creates. If it does not
create a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does
create that directory.

OK  MUST:   A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec
file's %files listings.

OK  MUST:   Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be
set with executable permissions, for example. Every %files section must include
a %defattr(...) line.

OK  MUST:   Each package must have a %clean section, which contains rm -rf
%{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).

OK  MUST:   Each package must consistently use macros.

OK  MUST:   The package must contain code, or permissable content.

OK  MUST:   Large documentation files must go in a -doc subpackage. (The
definition of large is left up to the packager's best judgement, but is not
restricted to size. Large can refer to either size or quantity).

N/A MUST:   If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the
runtime of the application. To summarize: If it is in %doc, the program must
run properly if it is not present.

N/A MUST:   Header files must be in a -devel package.

N/A MUST:   Static libraries must be in a -static package.

N/A MUST:   Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig'
(for directory ownership and usability).

N/A MUST:   If a package contains library files with a suffix (e.g.
libfoo.so.1.1), then library files that end in .so (without suffix) must go in
a -devel package.

N/A MUST:   In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base
package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name} =
%{version}-%{release}

N/A MUST:   Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be
removed in the spec if they are built.

N/A MUST:   Packages containing GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop
file, and that file must be properly installed with desktop-file-install in the
%install section. If you feel that your packaged GUI application does not need
a .desktop file, you must put a comment in the spec file with your explanation.

OK  MUST:   Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other
packages. The rule of thumb here is that the first package to be installed
should own the files or directories that other packages may rely upon. This
means, for example, that no package in Fedora should ever share ownership with
any of the files or directories owned by the filesystem or man package. If you
feel that you have a good reason to own a file or directory that another
package owns, then please present that at package review time.

OK  MUST:   At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf
%{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).

OK  MUST:   All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8.

---

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.

Please do so and add the LICENSE file to %doc. Not necessary for approval, tho.

SHOULD:     The description and summary sections in the package spec file
should contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available.

OK SHOULD:  The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.

fedora-11-i386
epel-5-i386

SHOULD:     The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all
supported architectures.

SHOULD:     The reviewer should test that the package functions as described. A
package should not segfault instead of running, for example.

OK SHOULD:  If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. This is
vague, and left up to the reviewers judgement to determine sanity.

N/A SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base
package using a fully versioned dependency.

N/A SHOULD: The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files depends on their usecase, and
this is usually for development purposes, so should be placed in a -devel pkg.
A reasonable exception is that the main pkg itself is a devel tool not
installed in a user runtime, e.g. gcc or gdb.

OK SHOULD:  If the package has file dependencies outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin,
/usr/bin, or /usr/sbin consider requiring the package which provides the file
instead of the file itself.

---

Please fix the above mentioned issues and upload the new pkg/spec files.
