Hi D Haley and Damian,

Since I'm sponsoring Damian, here are some comments on his remarks. :)

I'm not a native English speaker, but maybe something like
"Application to visualize and analyze valued 3D point clouds"
could be a possible variant.


Damian, I agree with most of your comments. Here are just a couple of
additional notes and corrections.

These are things to be fixed by upstream, and the packager usually don't need
to address them as long as a simple addition of explicit LDFLAGS leads to a
working binary RPM. But since D Haley is the upstream developer, he might want
to fix these issues anyway.

> NOT OK.

The package compiles, builds and works properly, so this MUST item is OK.


> - MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any

> NOT OK.

BR: libpng-devel is not required as it's added as an indirect dependency of
wxGTK-devel. If a package builds in mock/koji, usually all necessary BRs are
present.


> %{_mandir}/man1/%{name}.1.gz

The .gz suffix of manpages should be avoided since the compression format
applied by rpmbuild might change. Thus, %{_mandir}/man1/%{name}.1* is more
appropriate.


> - MUST: Packages containing GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop
> file, and that file must be properly installed ...

> NOT OK. See note about macro consistency.

The .desktop file is present and it is installed properly with
desktop-file-install. => OK so far. 
However, the icon "3Depict" referenced in the .desktop file is missing. It
should be added to the package.

Finally, the spec file should get a short comment above Patch0 describing the
purpose of the patch.
