I tried to address all, except: 1) I retained the %defattr(-,root,root,755) for now. Without it, /usr/share/doc/par-1.52/ is created with mode 2755. rpmlint considers that an error: par.i386: E: non-standard-dir-perm /usr/share/doc/par-1.52 02755L 2) I didn't use macros in the Source0 URL because the name and version parts of its filename don't match the macro values (Par vs. par and 152 vs. 1.52). 3) And I restored the -s in the install of the binary. The vast majority of binaries on my vanilla Fedora 16 are stripped, so I'm not sure why this one shouldn't be. (Unless that changes with 17 or 18?) And I'm not sure that renaming the executable is the best approach here. It technically doesn't satisfy Packaging:Conflicts because upstream isn't doing the renaming. And the other two choices under Binary_Name_Conflicts are for cases with the same or similar functionality, so they don't apply. Is there any precedent for installing a conflicting binary someplace other than /usr/bin/? For my immediate use case, that would be fine because the binary is called by another, which must be informed of the path. If not an option, any other suggestions? par dates from 1993 so I'd like to avoid changing its name. rpmlint output: par.i386: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) reformatter -> reformatted, reformatting, reformatory par.i386: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) fmt -> ft, mt, fit par.i386: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US bodiless -> bodices par.i386: W: invalid-license Par 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 4 warnings -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
