--- Comment #1 from Jeff Backus <jeff.backus@xxxxxxxxx> ---
Hi Pete,

This is an informal review as I am not an official packager.  Here are a few
notes before we delve into the actual review:
* Please try to build your package on Koji and please provide links to the Koji
reports.
* If you haven't tried running fedora-review, please familiarize yourself with
it. It flags a lot of important things that are easy to overlook.
* Spec name should not contain any verion information in the file name, but
should simply be <package name>.spec. For more info, please refer to:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#Spec_file_name
* Please remove commented Requires and BuildRequires
* Please include README and COPYING in *all* subpackages as well as the primary
package.
* Please correct the version number in the changelog. You have 2.0-1, but it
should be 1.02-1.
* Please do not do an rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT at beginning of %install.
* A better solution with regard to preventing the examples from landing in the
pacakge is to modify the Makefile macro SUBDIRS in the main Makefile, or better
yet, the Makefile.in. For example, I added this line to %prep right after
%setup:
sed -i 's|^\(SUBDIRS = src tools test\) examples|\1|g' Makefile.in
* Please work with upstream to find a more elegant way of not building or
installing the .la. The --disable-static option to %configure implies to me
that not installing the .la is supposed to be a supported behavior? Bug?
* Please work with upstream to provide man pages for each of the tools.
* It might make sense to put Manual.pdf in its own -doc subpackage, however, as
it is under the 1M limit you are ok to leave it as is.

***
Most importantly, and this is a show-stopper in my opinion, is the fact that
the library calls exit() on several occasions. This can cause all kinds of
problems in any programs that link against this library. Please encourage/work
with upstream to implement proper error handling.
***
