------- Additional Comments From michael at laptop.org  2008-07-21 23:57 EST -------
I'm not sure I'll be able to finish this review in a timely fashion so I'd
prefer for someone else to own the ticket; however, I'm happy to help start the
process. Here is my partial review according to revision 0.27 of
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines:

- MUST: rpmlint must be run on every package. The output should be posted in
  the review.

  $ ls /var/lib/mock/fedora-9-i386/result/
  build.log  root.log  rssh-2.3.2-1.fc9.i386.rpm  rssh-2.3.2-1.fc9.src.rpm
  rssh-debuginfo-2.3.2-1.fc9.i386.rpm  state.log

  $ (cd /var/lib/mock/fedora-9-i386/result/; rpmlint *.rpm)
  rssh.i386: E: setuid-binary /usr/libexec/rssh_chroot_helper root 04755
  rssh.i386: E: non-standard-executable-perm /usr/libexec/rssh_chroot_helper 04755
  3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 2 errors, 0 warnings.

- MUST: The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines .

  Good.

- MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format
  %{name}.spec unless your package has an exemption on Package Naming
  %Guidelines .

  Good.

- MUST: The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines.
  
  - libexecdir note: "Packagers are highly encouraged to store libexecdir files
    in a package-specific subdirectory of %{_libexecdir}, such as
    %{_libexecdir}/%{name}." 

  - Are conf_convert.sh and mkchroot.sh really documentation?

  - Static linking note: "The packager must provide rationale for linking
    statically, including precedences where available, to FESCO for approval."

    The autotools scripts provided for compiling rssh presently detect a
    version of openssh >= 3.5 and decide to dynamically link rssh; however,
    packagers should remain aware of this sensitivity.

- MUST: The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet
  the Licensing Guidelines.

  Good.

- MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual
  license.

  Good.

- MUST: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s)
  in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for
  the package must be included in %doc.

  Good.

- MUST: The spec file must be written in American English.

  Good.

- MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible. If the reviewer is
  unable to read the spec file, it will be impossible to perform a review.
  Fedora is not the place for entries into the Obfuscated Code Contest
  (http://www.ioccc.org/).

  Good.

- MUST: The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source,
  as provided in the spec URL. Reviewers should use md5sum for this task. If no
  upstream URL can be specified for this package, please see the Source URL
  Guidelines for how to deal with this.

  $ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/rssh/rssh-2.3.2.tar.gz
  $ md5sum rssh-2.3.2.tar.gz 
  65712f2c06ff5fc6fc783bc8c2e4e1ba  rssh-2.3.2.tar.gz

  $ rpmdev-extract rssh-2.3.2-1.fc9.src.rpm
  $ md5sum rssh-2.3.2-1.fc9/rssh-2.3.2.tar.gz
  65712f2c06ff5fc6fc783bc8c2e4e1ba  rssh-2.3.2-1.fc9/rssh-2.3.2.tar.gz

- MUST: The package must successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at
  least one supported architecture.

  The package built successfully under the fedora-9-i386 mock configuration on
  an i386 machine.

- MUST: If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on an
  architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec in
  ExcludeArch.

  NOT CHECKED.

- MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any
  that are listed in the [wiki:Self:Packaging/Guidelines#Exceptions exceptions
  section of Packaging Guidelines] ; inclusion of those as BuildRequires is
  optional. Apply common sense.

  NOT CHECKED.

- MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the
  %find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden.

  N/A.

- MUST: Every binary RPM package which stores shared library files (not just
  symlinks) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths, must call ldconfig in
  %post and %postun. If the package has multiple subpackages with libraries,
  each subpackage should also have a %post/%postun section that calls
  /sbin/ldconfig. An example of the correct syntax for this is:

  Good.

- MUST: If the package is designed to be relocatable, the packager must state
  this fact in the request for review, along with the rationalization for
  relocation of that specific package. Without this, use of Prefix: /usr is
  considered a blocker.

  Good.

- MUST: A package must own all directories that it creates. If it does not
  create a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does
  create that directory. Refer to the Guidelines for examples.

  Good.

- MUST: A package must not contain any duplicate files in the %files listing.

  Good.

- MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be set
  with executable permissions, for example. Every %files section must include a
  %defattr(...) line.

  - Do setuid-root executables require any special comment?

- MUST: Each package must have a %clean section, which contains rm -rf
  %{buildroot} ([wiki:Self:Packaging/Guidelines#UsingBuildRootOptFlags or
  %$RPM_BUILD_ROOT] ).

  Good.

- MUST: Each package must consistently use macros, as described in the
  [wiki:Self:Packaging/Guidelines#macros macros section of Packaging
  Guidelines] .

  Good.

- MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content. This is
  described in detail in the [wiki:Self:Packaging/Guidelines#CodeVsContent code
  vs. content section of Packaging Guidelines] .

  Good.

- MUST: Large documentation files should go in a -doc subpackage. (The
  definition of large is left up to the packager's best judgement, but is not
  restricted to size. Large can refer to either size or quantity)

  Good.

- MUST: If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the runtime
  of the application. To summarize: If it is in %doc, the program must run
  properly if it is not present.

  Good. (on surface inspection)

- MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package.

  N/A.

- MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package.

  N/A.

- MUST: Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig'
  (for directory ownership and usability).

  N/A.

- MUST: If a package contains library files with a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so.1.1),
  then library files that end in .so (without suffix) must go in a -devel
  package.

  N/A. 

- MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base
  package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name} =
  %{version}-%{release}

  N/A.

- MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these should be
  removed in the spec.

  Good.

- MUST: Packages containing GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop
  file, and that file must be properly installed with desktop-file-install in
  the %install section. This is described in detail in the
  [wiki:Self:Packaging/Guidelines#desktop desktop files section of Packaging
  Guidelines] . If you feel that your packaged GUI application does not need a
  .desktop file, you must put a comment in the spec file with your explanation.

  Good.

- MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other
  packages. The rule of thumb here is that the first package to be installed
  should own the files or directories that other packages may rely upon. This
  means, for example, that no package in Fedora should ever share ownership
  with any of the files or directories owned by the filesystem or man package.
  If you feel that you have a good reason to own a file or directory that
  another package owns, then please present that at package review time.

  Good.

- MUST: At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf %{buildroot}
  ([wiki:Self:Packaging/Guidelines#UsingBuildRootOptFlags or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT]
  ). See [wiki:Self:Packaging/Guidelines#PreppingBuildRootForInstall Prepping
  BuildRoot For %install] for details.

  Good.

- MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8.

  Good.

SHOULD Items:

- SHOULD: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a separate
  file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it.

  N/A.

- SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file should
  contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available.

  N/A.

- SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock. See
  [wiki:Self:PackageMaintainers/MockTricks MockTricks] for details on how to do
  this.

  Good. (Tested fedora-9-i386 on i386.)

- SHOULD: The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all
  supported architectures.

  NOT CHECKED.

- SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as described. A
  package should not segfault instead of running, for example.

  NOT CHECKED.

- SHOULD: If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. This is vague,
  and left up to the reviewers judgement to determine sanity.

  N/A.

- SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base package
  using a fully versioned dependency.

  N/A.

- SHOULD: The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files depends on their usecase, and
  this is usually for development purposes, so should be placed in a -devel
  pkg. A reasonable exception is that the main pkg itself is a devel tool not
  installed in a user runtime, e.g. gcc or gdb.

  N/A.

- SHOULD: If the package has file dependencies outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin,
  /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin consider requiring the package which provides the file
  instead of the file itself. Please see File Dependencies in the Guidelines
  for further information. 

  N/A.
