Review of meanwhile:
rpmlint checks:
meanwhile-0.4.1-1.src.rpm:
E: meanwhile description-line-too-long The heart of the Meanwhile
Project is the Meanwhile library, providing the basic
E: meanwhile description-line-too-long integration of future service
handlers such as the user directory and whiteboard
E: meanwhile no-signature
W: meanwhile strange-permission meanwhile.spec 0600
meanwhile-0.4.1-1.i386.rpm:
E: meanwhile description-line-too-long The heart of the Meanwhile
Project is the Meanwhile library, providing the basic
E: meanwhile description-line-too-long integration of future service
handlers such as the user directory and whiteboard
E: meanwhile zero-length /usr/share/doc/meanwhile-0.4.1/NEWS
E: meanwhile no-signature
meanwhile-devel-0.4.1-1.i386.rpm:
E: meanwhile-devel requires-on-release meanwhile 0.4.1-1
W: meanwhile-devel no-major-in-name meanwhile-devel
W: meanwhile-devel no-documentation
E: meanwhile-devel no-signature
No need to have that zero-length NEWS in there. All other rpmlint errors
can be ignored.
Good:
- License OK (LGPL), COPYING included in package
- Source matches upstream
- ldconfig in %post, %postun
- .la files excluded
Bad:
- Zero-length NEWS file included in package
- Generic INSTALL file included, no need to waste space with it
These are minor blockers, no need for a full re-review. Just make these
two changes and I'll approve this package.
