------- Additional Comments From vivekl at redhat.com  2007-02-12 12:33 EST -------
X suggests the subsection needs attention
+ is a positive comment
. is a specific comment about a problem

X * package is named appropriately
 - match upstream tarball or project name
   + Tarball matches upstream
 - try to match previous incarnations in other distributions/packagers for
consistency
   + Looks OK to me
 - specfile should be %{name}.spec
   + spec file matches %{name}
 - non-numeric characters should only be used in Release (ie. cvs or
   something)
   + Correct.
 - for non-numerics (pre-release, CVS snapshots, etc.), see
   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#PackageRelease
   . The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines.
     0:1.0-0.b2.1jpp should comply to Fedora + JPackage exception guidelines: 
     1:1.0-0.1.b2.1jpp.1%{?dist}
 - if case sensitivity is requested by upstream or you feel it should be
   not just lowercase, do so; otherwise, use all lower case for the name
   + Does not apply.

* is it legal for Fedora to distribute this?
 - OSI-approved
 - not a kernel module
 - not shareware
 - is it covered by patents?
 - it *probably* shouldn't be an emulator
 - no binary firmware
 + ASL is acceptable license, none of the other fields apply
  
* license field matches the actual license.
  + ASL 1.1
* license is open source-compatible.
 - use acronyms for licences where common
  + Apache Software License is fine
* specfile name matches %{name}
  + Correct.
* verify source and patches (md5sum matches upstream, know what the patches do)
 - if upstream doesn't release source drops, put *clear* instructions on
   how to generate the the source drop; ie. 
  # svn export blah/tag blah
  # tar cjf blah-version-src.tar.bz2 blah
  + MD5 sum matches
  
* skim the summary and description for typos, etc.
  + Looks OK.

X correct buildroot
 - should be:
   %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
   This needs to be fixed

X if %{?dist} is used, it should be in that form (note the ? and %
locations)
   . Refer to the naming comment earlier

* license text included in package and marked with %doc
  + Correct.

* keep old changelog entries; use judgement when removing (too old?
useless?)
  + Seems OK.

* packages meets FHS (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/)
  + Seems OK.

X * rpmlint on <this package>.srpm gives no output
 - justify warnings if you think they shouldn't be there
W: ant-contrib non-standard-group Development/Libraries/Java
The value of the Group tag in the package is not valid.  Valid groups are:
"Amusements/Games", "Amusements/Graphics", "Applications/Archiving",
"Applications/Communications", "Applications/Databases",
"Applications/Editors", "Applications/Emulators", "Applications/Engineering",
"Applications/File", "Applications/Internet", "Applications/Multimedia",

Environment/Daemons", "System Environment/Kernel", "System
Environment/Libraries", "System Environment/Shells", "User
Interface/Desktops", "User Interface/X", "User Interface/X Hardware Support".

+ This can be ignored since the group seems irrelevant

W: ant-contrib class-path-in-manifest /usr/share/java/ant-contrib-1.0.jar
The META-INF/MANIFEST file in the jar contains a hardcoded Class-Path.
These entries do not work with older Java versions and even if they do work,
they are inflexible and usually cause nasty surprises.

W: ant-contrib-javadoc non-standard-group Development/Documentation
The value of the Group tag in the package is not valid.  Valid groups are:
"Amusements/Games", "Amusements/Graphics", "Applications/Archiving",
"Applications/Communications", "Applications/Databases",
"Applications/Editors", "Applications/Emulators", "Applications/Engineering",

W: ant-contrib-manual non-standard-group Development/Documentation
The value of the Group tag in the package is not valid.  Valid groups are:
"Amusements/Games", "Amusements/Graphics", "Applications/Archiving",
"Applications/Communications", "Applications/Databases",
"Applications/Editors", "Applications/Emulators", "Applications/Engineering",

W: ant-contrib-manual wrong-file-end-of-line-encoding
/usr/share/doc/ant-contrib-1.0/tasks/foreach.html
This file has wrong end-of-line encoding, usually caused by creation or
modification on a non-Unix system. It could prevent it from being displayed
correctly in some circumstances.
. Use sed to remove the offending characters in the %prep

W: ant-contrib-manual wrong-file-end-of-line-encoding
/usr/share/doc/ant-contrib-1.0/tasks/for.html
This file has wrong end-of-line encoding, usually caused by creation or
modification on a non-Unix system. It could prevent it from being displayed
correctly in some circumstances.

W: ant-contrib non-standard-group Development/Libraries/Java
The value of the Group tag in the package is not valid.  Valid groups are:
"Amusements/Games", "Amusements/Graphics", "Applications/Archiving",

Environment/Daemons", "System Environment/Kernel", "System
Environment/Libraries", "System Environment/Shells", "User
Interface/Desktops", "User Interface/X", "User Interface/X Hardware Support".

W: ant-contrib mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 9, tab: line 50)
The specfile mixes use of spaces and tabs for indentation, which is a
cosmetic annoyance.  Use either spaces or tabs for indentation, not both.

* changelog should be in one of these formats:
  * Fri Jun 23 2006 Jesse Keating <jkeating at redhat.com> - 0.6-4
  - And fix the link syntax.

  * Fri Jun 23 2006 Jesse Keating <jkeating at redhat.com> 0.6-4
  - And fix the link syntax.

  * Fri Jun 23 2006 Jesse Keating <jkeating at redhat.com>
  - 0.6-4
  - And fix the link syntax.
  + Seems OK.

* Packager tag should not be used
  + Seems OK.

X * Vendor and disribution tag should not be used
  + Remove the above 2 tags

* use License and not Copyright 
  + Correct.

* Summary tag should not end in a period
  + Correct.
* if possible, replace PreReq with Requires(pre) and/or Requires(post)
  + N/A

X specfile is legible
 - this is largely subjective; use your judgement
 . Seems OK overall, please try and incorporate the suggestions for javadoc
handling mentioned earlier so the %post* sections for it can be removed.

* package successfully compiles and builds on at least x86

* BuildRequires are proper
 - builds in mock will flush out problems here
 + Local build on minimal machine works, will check on mock again when resubmitted
 - the following packages don't need to be listed in BuildRequires:
   bash
   bzip2
   coreutils
   cpio
   diffutils
   fedora-release (and/or redhat-release)
   gcc
   gcc-c++
   gzip
   make
   patch
   perl
   redhat-rpm-config
   rpm-build
   sed
   tar
   unzip
   which
* summary should be a short and concise description of the package
  + Correct
* description expands upon summary (don't include installation
instructions)
  + Correct
X make sure lines are <= 80 characters
  . The gcj_support line is massive (>80 chars) , try and reformat if possible 
* specfile written in American English
* make a -doc sub-package if necessary
 - see
  
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#head-9bbfa57478f0460c6160947a6bf795249488182b
* packages including libraries should exclude static libraries if possible
* don't use rpath
* config files should usually be marked with %config(noreplace)
* GUI apps should contain .desktop files
* should the package contain a -devel sub-package?
* use macros appropriately and consistently
 - ie. %{buildroot} and %{optflags} vs. $RPM_BUILD_ROOT and $RPM_OPT_FLAGS
   + Correct
* don't use %makeinstall
* locale data handling correct (find_lang)
 - if translations included, add BR: gettext and use %find_lang %{name} at the
   end of %install
* consider using cp -p to preserve timestamps
* split Requires(pre,post) into two separate lines
  + Correct
* package should probably not be relocatable
  + It is not relocatable
* package contains code
 - see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#CodeVsContent
 - in general, there should be no offensive content
X * package should own all directories and files
  + Since package is installing to %{_javadir} should add Requires(pre),
Requires(postun) on jpackage-utils but if the javadoc handling is fixed then a
simple requires is good enough

* there should be no %files duplicates
  + Correct.
* file permissions should be okay; %defattrs should be present
  + Correct.

* %clean should be present
  + Correct.

* %doc files should not affect runtime
  + Seems OK.

* if it is a web apps, it should be in /usr/share/%{name} and *not* /var/www
  + Not a web app
X * verify the final provides and requires of the binary RPMs
  . Add requires on java and jpackage-utils (Requires(x) if appropriate, see above)
X * run rpmlint on the binary RPMs
    . Above rpmlint output is for binary + srpm
SHOULD:
* package should include license text in the package and mark it with %doc
  + Correct.
* package should build on i386
  + Builds locally.

* package should build in mock
