OK - Package doesn't own any directories other packages own.
See below - No rpmlint output.
Issues:
1. Why install in /opt? (I guess because upstream does?)
IMHO /opt is for locally installed optional applications, not
packages from Fedora. Can you change it to install those
files in /usr/share/${name}/ instead?
2. This %pre is very dangerous and not needed:
%pre
# lets make sure nothing is there so we delete the old
# directory first before installing - sgrayban
rm -fr /opt/%{name}
rpm should handle removing files on install/upgrade.
3. Should this be a noarch package? (ie BuildArch: noarch)?
4. Should use a proper 'desktop-file-install' with a
BuildRequires: desktop-file-utils
to install the desktop file instead of a install...
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#desktop
Might be nice to include the desktop file as another SOURCE too.
5. Some macros seem to not be defined in fedora.
building under mock fails with:
RPM build errors:
File must begin with "/": %_menudir/CastPodder
File must begin with "/": %_iconsdir/CastPodder.png
File must begin with "/": %_liconsdir/CastPodder.png
6. Since I can't get it to build, no rpmlint output yet, but
running rpmlint on the provided rpm from the site gives a
number of things that should be dealt with:
Should remove the libxml2-python Requires?
E: CastPodder explicit-lib-dependency libxml2-python
explicit-lib-dependency :
You must let rpm find the library dependencies by itself. Do not put unneeded
explicit Requires: tags.
Perhaps pick "Applications/Multimedia" ?
W: CastPodder non-standard-group Networking/News
Shouldn't have the Obsoletes: iPodder when this package provides it.
E: CastPodder obsolete-on-name
obsolete-on-name :
A package should not obsolete itself, as it can cause weird errors in tools.
E: CastPodder obsolete-not-provided iPodder
obsolete-not-provided :
The obsoleted package must also be provided to allow clean upgrade paths
and not to break dependencies.
E: CastPodder dir-or-file-in-opt /opt/CastPodder/localization/catalog/ga.py
dir-or-file-in-opt :
A file in the package is located in /opt. It's not permitted
for packages to install files in this directory.
E: CastPodder wrong-script-interpreter
/opt/CastPodder/localization/catalog/ga.py "python"
... (tons of repeats on those)
Should remove the %pre command:
W: CastPodder dangerous-command-in-%pre rm
