--- Comment #2 from Adam Williamson <awilliam@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
License should be "BSD and BSD with advertising" - all but one of the various
forms of the BSD license used in the source are of the kind that can just be
called 'BSD' according to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Software_License_List
, but the last one in COPYING, the one that covers rdate.c and rfc868time.c ,
is the 'BSD with advertising' form, which needs to be listed separately.

Researching this caused me to find the bug report which actually led to the
creation of our 'variant' rdate:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8619 . now that's old :)

* rpmlint output - PASS:

openrdate.src: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) rdate -> rate, date, dater
openrdate.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US rdate -> rate, date,
dater
openrdate.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US inetd -> dinette
openrdate.x86_64: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US inetd -> dinette
openrdate.x86_64: W: incoherent-version-in-changelog 1.2-1 ['1:1.2-1.fc19',
'1:1.2-1']

The spelling errors are all false positives. For the 'incoherent version',
well, see the note regarding epoch, I think the epoch is unnecessary.

* The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines - PASS

* The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format
%{name}.spec unless your package has an exemption. - PASS

* The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines - NEEDSWORK (see epoch issue
above)

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

* The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license -
NEEDSWORK (see above)

* 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. - PASS

* The spec file must be written in American English. - PASS

* The spec file for the package MUST be legible. - PASS

* The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source, as
provided in the spec URL. Reviewers should use sha256sum for this task as it is
used by the sources file once imported into git. If no upstream URL can be
specified for this package, please see the Source URL Guidelines for how to
deal with this. - PASS

* The package MUST successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at least
one primary architecture. - PASS (tested f19 x86_64)

* If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on an
architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec in
ExcludeArch. (etc) - N/A (no reason to believe this fails to build on any arch)

* 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. - PASS (builds in koji)

* The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the
%find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden. - N/A (no
locales)

* 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. - N/A (no libs)

* Packages must NOT bundle copies of system libraries - PASS (arc4random.c
seems to be a sort of 'generic' thing that might be shared, but I see no system
library implementation of it in fedora)

*  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. - N/A

* 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. - PASS (only dirs it uses are owned by filesystem which you don't
have to require)

* A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's
%files listings. - PASS

* Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be set with
executable permissions, for example. - PASS (the executable is executable)

* Each package must consistently use macros. - PASS

* The package must contain code, or permissable content. - PASS

* Large documentation files must go in a -doc subpackage. - N/A

* 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. - PASS

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

* Development files must be in a -devel package. - N/A

* In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package
using a fully versioned dependency - N/A

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

* Packages containing GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop file -
N/A

* Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages. -
PASS (it doesn't own any)

* All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8 - PASS

All 'SHOULD' items are also OK. I tested that the package builds without error,
installs and uninstalls without error, the appropriate docs are included, and
it works both to display and set the time with both RFC868 and SNTP protocols.
It is only partly backwards-compatible with 'rdate' - the options -s and -p
remain the same but all others differ.

Result: NEEDSWORK, nearly a PASS, but please look at the epoch and license
issues. Thanks!
