--- Comment #5 from Fabio Valentini <decathorpe@xxxxxxxxx> ---
Looks much better now, thanks!

Minor issues:

- "to show no errors in rpmlint results" is not a valid explanation for making
changes to a package.
rpmlint is known to show many false positive errors, so if you really think
this is a problem, explain the real problem, and not just "rpmlint complains".

Lots of packages install translations for the "mo" locale in Fedora, so this
does not seem to be a problem, but rather an issue in rpmlint, because it
doesn't recognise this locale code. In contrast, the only two Fedora packages
(!) which ship ro_MD locales are elementary-code and elementary-terminal, and
it's probably not a good idea there, either ...

I'd say it would be a better idea to drop the PR / patch for now. Most packages
in Fedora use "mo" locale instead of "ro_MD" (but I think neither are actually
supported, so it doesn't help to change it, either).

- This package uses %define, it should use %global instead.
Unless there's a very good reason, you should *always* use %global, instead of
%define.

- I recommend not using "sed" for "monkey-patching" files. Instead, use a real
patch.
Real patches break if the file changes, sed scripts just silently do nothing
when that happens.

- I recommend using rpmautospec for the package, once it is imported. It will
make maintaining the Release field and writing %changelog messages unnecessary
in the future. It is documented here, if you're interested:

https://docs.pagure.org/fedora-infra.rpmautospec/index.html

I'm using it for all other Pantheon-related packages already. You can look at
some of them for how it works.
