https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1233984 --- Comment #1 from Gerald Cox <gbcox@xxxxxx> --- I do have a question regarding use of {?_isa} in the Requires, mainly for my own understanding going forward. I reviewed: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Requires_2 It mentions: "As a rule of thumb, if the version is not required, don't add it just for fun." It doesn't directly apply that to arch, but I felt the inference carried over to the other items. In my own package which was noarch, I added several Requires, but didn't specify arch; since the 386 version or the x86 version would work fine. Since this package is also noarch, why would you specify arch? Is there a technical reason or just preference? None of the items listed below are blockers. If you wish to incorporate some of the suggestions, do so and post the new Spec so I can approve. If not, just advise and I then approve the current Spec. Package Review ============== Legend: [x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated [ ] = Manual review needed SHOULD: - RPMLINT is complaining about zero length files: E: zero-length /usr/lib/gap/pkg/AutoDoc/doc/AutomaticDocumentation.bbl E: zero-length /usr/lib/gap/pkg/AutoDoc/doc/AutoDoc.bbl These should be removed if not needed for something. You can do this in %install section: ====> find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT -size "0" -exec rm -f {} ';' - The spell checker is complaining about "addon", and in this case it is correct. It should be add-on; however, if you change it, it probably will report that as a misspelling. <sigh> - gap-pkg-autodoc.noarch: W: only-non-binary-in-usr-lib I found this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=483199 and from what I can gather this shouldn't have been generated because you have noarch specified. Thoughts? - Note: Checking patched sources after %prep for licenses. Licenses found: "Unknown or generated". 5 files have unknown license.
