OK - Should function as described.
OK - Should have sane scriptlets.
OK - Should have subpackages require base package with fully versioned depend.
OK - Should have dist tag
OK - Should package latest version
96 open bugs - check for outstanding bugs on package.

Issues:

1. Due to the murky pile of licenses, perhaps we could get
spot and/or fedora-legal-list to review things to make sure all
is well?

2. Could you put in a full URL for the upstream Source?
http://rpm.org/releases/rpm-4.4.x/rpm-4.4.2.2.tar.gz ?

3. Just out of curiosity, is popt going to get split out
upstream as well?

4. Another idle thought: should /usr/src/redhat be changed?
/usr/src/fedora? /usr/src/rpm?

5. Do we still need to ship static libs?

6. rpmlint says:

First, there are 264 lines of 'non-standard-uid' or 'non-standard-gid'
These can all be ignored in this case.

Removing those results in just:

a)

rpm-apidocs.i386: W: file-not-utf8
/usr/share/doc/rpm-apidocs-4.4.2.2/apidocs/html/build_8c-source.html

Suggest: run iconv on it?

b)
rpm-devel.i386: W: invalid-license LGPLv2+ with exceptions
rpm.i386: E: standard-dir-owned-by-package /var/lib/rpm
rpm.i386: W: dangerous-command-in-%post rm
rpm.i386: W: percent-in-%post
rpm-libs.i386: W: invalid-license LGPLv2+ with exceptions
rpm-libs.i386: W: no-documentation
rpm-python.i386: W: no-documentation
rpm.src:169: E: configure-without-libdir-spec
rpm.src: W: strange-permission find-debuginfo.sh 0755

Suggest: Ignore.

I'd just like to thank you for all the cleanup work you have done
on this package. This spec is a vast amount better than the old one.
Great work!
