--- Comment #8 from Neil Horman <nhorman@xxxxxxxxxx> 2011-12-22 09:15:35 EST ---
The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines . - Check

The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format
%{name}.spec - Check

The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines - Check, nothing obviously
wrong.  The COPYINg file needs to be included to support the license tag inthe
spec file, but thats already been mentioned in the rpmlint output.

The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the
Licensing Guidelines . - check

The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license. [3] -
Check

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. - This will be fixed when the warning about the lack
of docs is fixed from the rpmlint output

The spec file must be written in American English. - Check

The spec file for the package MUST be legible. - Check

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. - Check, although the url needs updating
in the spec file:

The package MUST successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at least
one primary architecture - Check, see
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3601228

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 - Not applicable, see previous


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. - check, although, why
is glibc-static required.  The initramfs has glibc available doesn't it?  We
should be able to build dynamically here.


The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the
%find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden.- Not
applicable, no human readable output provided from the pkg.

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. - check

Packages must NOT bundle copies of system libraries.- Check

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. - Not applicable, not relocatable.

 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. - Check

 A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files
listings. (Notable exception: license texts in specific situations)- Check

Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be set with
executable permissions, for example. - Check

Each package must consistently use macros. - check

The package must contain code, or permissable content. - Check

 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). - Not applicable

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. - Check

Header files must be in a -devel package. - Check


Static libraries must be in a -static package. - Not applicable, no static
libraries

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. -
should be fixed as per rpmlint output discussion.

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

Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be removed in
the spec if they are built.- Check

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. -
Not applicable

 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. - Check

All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8. - Check.


By an large, looks pretty good.  I'd fix the rpmlint output errors, look at the
static library use, and I'd say we're in pretty good shape.
