Re: Anaconda merge review

[Jason L Tibbitts III <tibbs math uh edu>]

Honestly, guys, I was offering to do the actual review; I just need to
know that someone is listening to the commentary.

Hans, you've assigned the ticket to yourself; are you indicating that
you want to conduct the review, or that you want to deal with the
comments?

In any case, here are some comments:

No %{?dist} tag, but I understand why you folks have no need of that.

Is the source available for download anywhere?  The Source0: URL
should be downloadable if at all possible.  The spec should at minimum
include some instructions for checking out of an SCM.

As of FC-5, it is not actually necessary to have:
  Requires(post): desktop-file-utils >= %{desktopfileutilsver}
  Requires(postun): desktop-file-utils >= %{desktopfileutilsver}
as long as you use the recommended update-desktop-database
scriptlets.

%post
/usr/bin/update-desktop-database %{_datadir}/applications &> /dev/null || :

%postun
/usr/bin/update-desktop-database %{_datadir}/applications &> /dev/null || :

Is there any reason to keep this bit:
%triggerun -- anaconda < 8.0-1
/sbin/chkconfig --del reconfig >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

Anaconda < 8.0 was, what, pre-RHL-8?

There's some minor permission weirdness, like
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/boot/syslinux.cfg and
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pyrc.py are executable, and also
some shell scripts that don't have a shebang line like
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/mk-images.s390.  I'll spare everyone here
the full listing; just run rpmlint and look at the
script-without-shebang errors.
