5 bugs - check for outstanding bugs on package.

Issues:

1. Ok, I have to ask... why does this package use StUdLyCaps?
The upstream package is called 'sysvinit'. I know it's been that way
forever, but perhaps we could fix that now?

2. Might include the LICENSE file, which is not the GPL, but at least explains
that this package is released under the GPL and where to get it.
I suppose you could also bug upstream about including a copy.

3. Use the approved buildroot:
      %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)

4. There is a single include file shipped here in the main package:

/usr/include/initreq.h

It seems useless to make a -devel package for one header, but does it make
any sense to ship it at all? Perhaps that should just get dropped?

5. Our pal rpmlint says:
a)
W: SysVinit summary-ended-with-dot Programs which control basic system processes.

Suggest: remove . at the end of the summary?

b)
W: SysVinit no-url-tag

Suggest: add "URL: ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/sysvinit/";
Not very informative, but better than nothing...

c)
E: SysVinit setgid-binary /usr/bin/wall tty 02555
E: SysVinit non-standard-executable-perm /usr/bin/wall 02555
E: SysVinit non-standard-executable-perm /usr/bin/wall 02555

Suggest: ignore, these are needed.

d)
W: SysVinit devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/include/initreq.h

Suggest: Stop shipping this? Or ignore.

e)
W: SysVinit dangerous-command-in-%post ln

Suggest: Don't see an easy way to avoid the ln. Do you?

6. Upstream seems not very active (last release 2004), but would it still
be worth trying to push some of these patches upstream? There are a lot of
them here...

7. Minor: Might replace the /usr/bin in %files with %{_bindir}

8. Minor: add dist tag?

9. The 5 outstanding bugs on this package don't seem to be package
related, but you might take a quick look at them to see if they can
easily be solved while making the above changes?
