dead packages in cvs, missing dist-tags and copyright tag

[Oliver Falk <oliver linux-kernel at>]

Hi!

Are dead packages in core cvs not marked as dead? Like it is in extras...

However, a lot of packages are still missing dist tag and some still use 
the Copyright tag. I can only guess, that packages with Copyright tag 
are dead.

And another issue, some packages have %{dist} instead of %{?dist}.

Simple script to check the packages that miss the (correct) dist tag:

for i in */*.spec; do
  if [ "`grep "^Release:" $i|grep -v "%{?dist}"`" != "" ]; then
    echo -n `rpm -q --specfile $i --qf "%{name} 
%{version}-%{release}\n"|head -1`
    echo " - last cl entry: `rpm -q --specfile $i --changelog|head -1`";
  fi
done

Easily adaptable for the Copyright tag, for course...
