------- Additional Comments From mwringe at redhat.com  2007-03-16 11:37 EST -------
MUST:
* package is named appropriately
 - match upstream tarball or project name
 - try to match previous incarnations in other distributions/packagers for
consistency
 - specfile should be %{name}.spec
 - non-numeric characters should only be used in Release (ie. cvs or
   something)
 - for non-numerics (pre-release, CVS snapshots, etc.), see
   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#PackageRelease
 - 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
OK
* 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
OK
* license field matches the actual license.
OK
* license is open source-compatible.
 - use acronyms for licences where common
OK
* specfile name matches %{name}
OK
* 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
OK, md5sums match
* skim the summary and description for typos, etc.
* correct buildroot
 - should be:
   %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
OK
* if %{?dist} is used, it should be in that form (note the ? and %
locations)
OK
* license text included in package and marked with %doc
OK

* keep old changelog entries; use judgement when removing (too old?
useless?)
OK
* packages meets FHS (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/)
OK, jars, javadocs and docs are being installed to the proper locations
* rpmlint on <this package>.srpm gives no output
 - justify warnings if you think they shouldn't be there

rpmlint jakarta-commons-httpclient-3.0.1-1jpp.1.src.rpm
W: jakarta-commons-httpclient non-standard-group Development/Libraries/Java

Since this is a group warning it can be ignored

* changelog should be in proper format:
OK
* Packager, Vendor and Distribution tag should not be used
OK
* use License and not Copyright 
OK
* Summary tag should not end in a period
OK
* if possible, replace PreReq with Requires(pre) and/or Requires(post)
OK
* specfile is legible
Looks fine to me
* package successfully compiles and builds on at least x86
OK
* BuildRequires are proper
 - builds in mock will flush out problems here
OK, builds in mock
 - 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
X summart is just the name of the package

* description expands upon summary (don't include installation
instructions)
* make sure description lines are <= 80 characters
OK
* specfile written in American English
OK
* make a -doc sub-package if necessary
OK, contains javadoc and subproject

* 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
* 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
OK
* split Requires(pre,post) into two separate lines
OK
* package should probably not be relocatable
* package contains code
 - see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#CodeVsContent
 - in general, there should be no offensive content
OK
* package should own all directories and files
OK
* there should be no %files duplicates
OK
* file permissions should be okay; %defattrs should be present
OK
* %clean should be present
OK
* %doc files should not affect runtime
* if it is a web apps, it should be in /usr/share/%{name} and *not* /var/www
* verify the final provides and requires of the binary RPMs
* run rpmlint on the binary RPMs

rpmlint jakarta-commons-httpclient-3.0.1-1jpp.1.fc7.x86_64.rpm
W: jakarta-commons-httpclient non-standard-group Development/Libraries/Java
OK, this warning can be ignored

rpmlint
/var/lib/mock/fedora-development-x86_64-core-mwringe/result/jakarta-commons-httpclient-javadoc-3.0.1-1jpp.1.fc7.x86_64.rpm
W: jakarta-commons-httpclient-javadoc non-standard-group Development/Documentation
W: jakarta-commons-httpclient-javadoc dangerous-command-in-%post rm
W: jakarta-commons-httpclient-javadoc dangerous-command-in-%postun rm
X the rm should be removed from the javadoc post and postun

rpmlint jakarta-commons-httpclient-demo-3.0.1-1jpp.1.fc7.x86_64.rpm
W: jakarta-commons-httpclient-demo non-standard-group Development/Testing
W: jakarta-commons-httpclient-demo no-documentation
-Since the demo package requires the parent package (which has the licensing
docs), not having documentation for the demo should be ok

rpmlint jakarta-commons-httpclient-manual-3.0.1-1jpp.1.fc7.x86_64.rpm
W: jakarta-commons-httpclient-manual non-standard-group Development/Documentation
W: jakarta-commons-httpclient-manual dangling-symlink
/usr/share/doc/jakarta-commons-httpclient-manual-3.0.1/apidocs
/usr/share/javadoc/jakarta-commons-httpclient
W: jakarta-commons-httpclient-manual symlink-should-be-relative
/usr/share/doc/jakarta-commons-httpclient-manual-3.0.1/apidocs
/usr/share/javadoc/jakarta-commons-httpclient
X can these symlinks be cleaned up?

SHOULD:
* package should include license text in the package and mark it with %doc
OK
* package should build on i386
OK
* package should build in mock
OK
