ref #9: Bryan, you have included the file corresponding to GPL v3, but most of
the source files claim GPLv2 or later. Since there are substantial differences
between v2 and v3, could you please confirm that you really want the project to
be released under GPLv3 ? Note that, according to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/FAQ, simply including the gpl.txt in the
tarball is not enough. Quoting from that page:
Q: How do I figure out what version of the GPL/LGPL my package is under?
A: The short answer is to look at the source. Here is the long answer:
COPYING does not signal licensing intent (it might not seem intuitive, but this
is what Red Hat legal told us, and we're going by that).
The order of operations goes like this:
   1. What does the code say? If it specifies a version, that's what it is.


Jochen: the src.rpm you have uploaded has MD5 errors. I have recreated the
src.rpm using the new spec and the source downloaded from sf.net and everything
seems mostly OK. Please find below the rpmlint

rpmlint of the source RPM:
    inadyn-mt.src:21: W: unversioned-explicit-obsoletes inadyn
    inadyn-mt.src:22: W: unversioned-explicit-provides inadyn
-> both are intended as such
    inadyn-mt.src: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 1, tab: line 4)
-> cosmetic...

rpmlint of inadyn-mt.x86_64:
    W: wrong-file-end-of-line-encoding /usr/share/doc/inadyn-mt-2.12.22/COPYING
-> classic case of cr/lf usage; anyway, what's the reason for modifying the
filename from gpl.txt to COPYING? gpl.txt is just as valid.
    inadyn-mt.x86_64: E: non-readable /etc/inadyn.conf 0600
-> already discussed and acceptable
    inadyn-mt.x86_64: W: incoherent-init-script-name inadyn
-> already discussed and acceptable


Starting the program gives
 Starting inadyn: Sun Jul 27 23:45:13 2008: W:LANG: Cannot open language file. 
Will use english defaults, or default override (--lang_file <path/file_name>...)

Is it intended ?
