Request for Review: bioperl and its dependancies

[José Pedro Oliveira]

Hunter,

A couple of notes about the specfiles:

* License

  Most of the license information appears to be incomplete.
  If the copyright section says that the module is available
  on the same terms as perl itself, the license is "GPL or
  Artistic".

  License: GPL or Artistic

* URL

  If the module is available in CPAN don't use a URL
  that contains the author id and the module version.

  Example:
  Use
    http://search.cpan.org/dist/Heap/
  instead of
    http://search.cpan.org/~jmm/Heap-0.70/

  By the way you need to update Heap to version 0.71.

* Source tarball URL

  If the module is available in CPAN there is a shorter URL.

  Example:
  use
  http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JM/JMM/Heap-0.70.tar.gz
  instead
  http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/J/JM/JMM/Heap-0.70.tar.gz


* %build section

  When a module is noarch you can drop CFLAGS and OPTIMIZE.


Will try to give a second look later (I still haven't built the RPMS).
(I wish we had a Bugzilla for QA).

Regards,
jpo
