Hi John,
I was going to do a full review, however I've stumbled upon some major issues.
Please can you solve them first before I do the complete review?
- the package contains a rather old snaphost from 1/2008 - can you package a
newer snapshot e.g. from 6/2009?
Not done yet. Should be finished in a couple of days.
- rpmlint reveals 139 warnings and errors, especially:
Doh! I think I must have run rpmlint on the specfile and then absent-mindedly
forgotten to check the RPM that I had just built. Here is the latest output
from rpmlint:
ewl.i586: W: shared-lib-calls-exit /usr/lib/libewl.so.1.0.0 exit(a)GLIBC_2.0
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.
ewl-devel.i586: W: no-documentation
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.
* formatting fo the description
Fixed
* lots of example *.c files in the main package (they should be in
the devel
package)
Fixed.
* static libraries were packaged - usually they should be completely
omitted
unless there is a reason:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#StaticLibraries
Fixed.
* if the %post/%postun section only contains one line, it should be
written
like this:
%post -p /sbin/ldconfig
Fixed.
- using %ghost for *.so.x should not be necessary,
%{_libdir}/*.so.* should be sufficient
Is this true even when the file is a symlink created by the %post section. My
thinking was that the *.so.1 files were created by the %post section, so they
should be ghosted.
- pkgconfig must be required by the devel pacakge since *.pc is
packaged
One of the automatically generated requires for the devel package is
/usr/bin/pkg-config. Is that not sufficient?
- probably the tests should be moved into the devel package, too
Best regards,
Christian
I haven't posted the latest package. I'll be posting it once I get a new
version of the software.
