NOTES:
1 This is the first package I have submitted for Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora. I do
need a sponsor.
2 I am looking to have this package in EPEL, as I use CentOS regularly, Fedora
rarely.
3 This program has been working on my CentOS 6 box for 6 months. It plays well
with others, stable, no problems.
Only the RPM packaging is new.
4 I installed the RPM successfully on CentOS 6 and Fedora 20.

Before the RPM addition, Paper Shaper has also been manually installed in KDE4.
It works fine in KDE 4 (Kubuntu 12.04 LTS), Gnome 2 (CentOS 6 / RHEL 6), MATE
(Fedora 20).

Who is pkcarlisle-dot-com behind?
I really can't figure out what this package is. It violates FHS as well:
/com.pkcarlisle/papershaper/
And even if this is a pretty small package, I think you need to cleanup the
spec, it's messy.

Hi, thanks for commenting.
> Who is pkcarlisle-dot-com behind?
I am sorry, I do not understand this question. pkcarlisle.com is my own
domain.
I wrote this utility because I use Linux and I thought this program was a nice
enhancement to a desktop. That's all. No deep ulterior motive. No
conspiracy-theory-deeply-hidden-corporate connection. Just me and my little
Linux box.
> I really can't figure out what this package is. It violates
FHS as well:
I am not sure I can explain what the package IS better than I already have
done.
I am new to the prospect of submitting RPMs for inclusion in Linux. There are
doubtless many things I do not know. That is why I have submitted this for
review.
With regard to the FHS, I wrote this program explicitly with the idea of
providing individual users their own a) individual b) individually customizable
and c) automated wallpaper randomizer. So I set it up to install in each
user's /home/ folders individually. If this violates an inviolable standard
(is the standard inviolable?) no doubt the review process will help determine
that and/or a better approach.
> And even if this is a pretty small package, I think you need to
cleanup the spec, it's messy.
I am new to making RPMs and I welcome any specific criticisms I can address.
“It's messy” is not something I can specifically address.

Who is pkcarlisle-dot-com behind?
Write it more as a real name in all places, in the bugzilla account
preferences, in the spec file %changelog: "P.K. Carlisle" would be one expected
way to write it. Don't use "pkcarlisle-dot-com" even if it resembles your
full
name.
I really can't figure out what this package is. It violates FHS
as well:
It doesn't even build. That's no surprise, because no source code archive is
included. The spec file accesses paths/files not included in the src.rpm.
As a minimum, people who submit packages for review should examine a few Fedora
packages (via src.rpms or git) and follow well-known documentation:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Package_Maintainers
Notice the index at the bottom.
Buildroot: %{_sourcedir}
I would estimate that none of the many thousand Fedora (and Red Hat) packages
does it like that, especially since the purpose of the "Buildroot" is a
different one and clearly _not_ the same as %_sourcedir. Nowadays, one doesn't
set this tag anymore, btw:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#BuildRoot_tag
