 As far as I can see, you have abused a bit your position as upstream of the
program and modified the source tarball in order to use fedora as vendor when
installing the desktop file. This is nice. What is not nice is that you have
not modified the name of the tarball, so people who have downloaded the file in
the past and those who would download it now would not know that there is a
difference between the two versions. The proper way would have been to release
a new version, maybe as a expendable-0.0.3.tar.bz2 or expendable-0.0.2a.tar.bz2
or whatever else you seem fit. And by the way, you do realize that by
hardcoding vendor=fedora in the Makefile, you  make unhappy anyone else who
wants to package it for another distro, right ?
 The URL provided in #2 for the src.rpm should have been
http://twaugh.fedorapeople.org/expendable/expendable-0.0.2-1.src.rpm
 When you modify the spec file, please not only bump the release field but also
add a comment to the changelog. In this case, the new spec should have included
something similar to:

%changelog
* Fri Sep 26 2008 Tim Waugh <twaugh@xxxxxxxxxx> 0.0.2-1
- fixed URL tag and rpmlint complaints, added python as a build requirement.
- new upstream version

* Fri Sep 26 2008 Tim Waugh <twaugh@xxxxxxxxxx> 0.0.2-0.1
- Initial spec file.


And now the review:

Key:
 - = N/A
 x = Check
 ! = Problem
 ? = Not evaluated

=== REQUIRED ITEMS ===
 [x] Package is named according to the Package Naming Guidelines.
 [x] Spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format
%{name}.spec.
 [x] Package meets the Packaging Guidelines.
 [x] Package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at least one
supported architecture.
     Tested on: devel/x86_64
 [x] Rpmlint output:
source RPM: empty
binary RPM:empty
 [x] Package is not relocatable.
 [x] Buildroot is correct
(%{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n))
 [x] Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets other
legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging Guidelines.
 [x] License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
     License type:GPLv2+

its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the
package is included in %doc.
 [x] Spec file is legible and written in American English.
 [!] Sources used to build the package do not match the upstream source, as
provided in the spec URL.
     SHA1SUM of source file included in the rpm:
a859d6a72fa7bcb3fa136a80919993bae86193cd
     SHA1SUM of source file downloaded from the project page:
8495935d5795a492a05079eb6e3bc9756c9994d7
--> see issue below
 [x] Package is not known to require ExcludeArch.
 [x] All build dependencies are listed in BuildRequires, except for any that
are listed in the excep
tions section of Packaging Guidelines.
 [-] The spec file handles locales properly.
 [-] ldconfig called in %post and %postun if required.
 [x] Package must own all directories that it creates.
 [x] Package requires other packages for directories it uses.
 [x] Package does not contain duplicates in %files.
 [x] Permissions on files are set properly.
 [x] Package has a %clean section, which contains rm -rf %{buildroot}.
 [x] Package consistently uses macros.
 [x] Package contains code, or permissable content.
 [-] Large documentation files are in a -doc subpackage, if required.

 [-] Development .so files in -devel subpackage, if present.
 [-] Fully versioned dependency in subpackages, if present.
 [x] Package does not contain any libtool archives (.la).
 [x] Package contains a properly installed %{name}.desktop file if it is a GUI
application.
 [x] Package does not own files or directories owned by other packages.

=== SUGGESTED ITEMS ===
 [x] Latest version is packaged.
 [x] Package does not include license text files separate from upstream.
 [-] Description and summary sections in the package spec file contains
translations for supported Non-English languages, if available.
 [x] Reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
     Tested on: devel/x86_64
 [x] Package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported
architectures.
     Tested on:package is noarch, should work on any arch with a proper python
 [?] Package functions as described.
 [-] Scriptlets must be sane, if used.
 [-] The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files is correct.
 [-] File based requires are sane.


=== Issues ===
 The tarball bundled in the src.rpm has not been pushed to the project page.
Please take advantage of that and use a different name (so as to make the
versions of the two tar.bz2 distinguishable) for it. Everything else seems fine
so fix this and I'll approve the package.
