Comment 1 Paul Howarth 2005-09-13 10:13:02 UTC
Review:

- rpmlint clean
- package and spec naming OK
- package meets guidelines
- license is Artistic, matches spec, text included
- spec written in English and is legible
- sources match upstream
- packages builds OK on FC4 and in mock for rawhide (i386)
- no explicit BR's needed
- no locales, libraries, subpackages or pkgconfigs to worry about
- not relocatable
- no directory ownership or permissions issues
- no duplicate files
- %clean section present and correct
- macro usage is consistent
- code, not content
- no large docs
- docs don't affect runtime
- no scriptlets
- no .desktop file needed

Nitpick:

- redundant BR: perl

- given that "make test" does nothing, it would be nice if someone with
  SNMP-enabled kit could try out some of the test scripts to make sure that
  things work properly...

I'll approve the package but please lose the BR: perl in cvs.

Last year I used this module in two perl daemons:
   i) a trap deamon 
      decoded traps using this module
      logged information using Log::Log4perl(Log::Dispatch)
      used a MySQL db via DBI/DBD::mysql
   2) a query daemon
      to handle snmp_set and snmp_get requests of a web application

Can I consider this perl module approved?

PS - One of the example scripts uses Curses. I have it packaged if someone
wants it.

Already approved (blocker changed to FE-ACCEPT).

Might be worth mentioning on extras list (not sure how many people read the
bugzilla traffic).

Missed that (viewing too many bugzilla tickets at the same time).

I will announced it in the fedora-extras or in the fedora-perl-devel mailing
list but I will postpone it a couple of days (trying to push every RT perl
requirements first).
