Response from upstream: --- Thank you for your mail. And I've selected "Standard-Perl denotes that the user may choose between GPL and Artistic," at my PAUSE (Perl Authors Upload Server) page. --- I do not have a PAUSE account, but is this good enough to set license to GPL or Artistic? Yes, this is sufficient. However, until the actual sources indicate the license, I would make sure that the actual message from the author is available either in the package or attached to this bugzilla ticket so that there's no room for confusion. Are you still requesting that reviews be held off? I think it might be reasonable to disable thie additional functionality that requires the perl-Unicode-Map modifications until those are in. OK - I can put the actual message from the author as an attachment. I would like to hold off on actual review until the Japanese support is figured out, partly because I think it should be there, and partly because rpm autodeps will require the additional perl modules that are only needed if set up for Japanese support, so if the Japanese support isn't there then it has dependency bloat. -=- In the following attachment, I have altered the message to hide the private e-mail address the upstream author replied from. The public e-mail address (which is in the package source) is still there. Created attachment 128894 [details]
e-mail reply from upstream regarding license
Ah geez - the license is there. It's in ParseExcel.pm You may distribute under the terms of either the GNU General Public License or the Artistic License, as specified in the Perl README file. New spec file and src.rpm: http://mpeters.us/fc_extras/perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.2603-1.src.rpm http://mpeters.us/fc_extras/perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel.spec Ready for review. I went ahead and made the package arch dependent so that it can install and own the map file. The japanese support that the map file provides will not work until bug #191387 is resolved, but when bug #191387 is resolved it should *just work* (famous last words ...) NOTES - The package is arch dependent solely because of the map file. This causes a completely empty and useless debuginfo package. So I set a macro in the spec file to not build the debuginfo package. The license is issue is resolved (GPL or perl). rpmlint complains: E: perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel no-binary Unfortunately the package can't be noarch because of the map file, so this is acceptable. BuildRequires: perl is not necessary (not a blocker). The documentation is over half of the size of the package, but the total package size is small so I don't think it's necessary to place it in a subpackage. Review: * package meets naming and packaging guidelines. * specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently. * dist tag is present. * build root is correct. * license field matches the actual license. * license is open source-compatible. License text not included upstream. * source files match upstream: 6ee6257d4b66cb9e147a0b50603d1387 Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.2603.tar.gz 6ee6257d4b66cb9e147a0b50603d1387 Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.2603.tar.gz-srpm * latest version is being packaged. O BuildRequires are proper (BR: perl is unnecessary). * package builds in mock (development, x86_64). O rpmlint has only ignorable complaints. * final provides and requires are sane: perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel) = 0.2603 perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Cell) perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Dump) perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::FmtDefault) = 0.05 perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::FmtJapan) = 0.05 perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::FmtJapan2) = 0.05 perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::FmtUnicode) = 0.05 perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Font) perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Format) perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser) = 0.01 perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser::Workbook) = 0.06 perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser::Worksheet) perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Utility) perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook) perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Worksheet) perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel = 0.2603-1.fc6 - perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.8) perl(Exporter) perl(Jcode) perl(OLE::Storage_Lite) perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel) perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::FmtDefault) perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::FmtJapan) perl(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Utility) perl(Spreadsheet::WriteExcel) perl(Unicode::Map) perl(constant) perl(overload) perl(strict) perl(vars) * no shared libraries are present. * package is not relocatable. * owns the directories it creates. * doesn't own any directories it shouldn't. * no duplicates in %files. * file permissions are appropriate. * %clean is present. * %check is present and the single test passes: PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/lib" "-Iblib/arch" test.pl 1..1 ok 1 * no scriptlets present. * code, not content. O documentation is relatively small, so no -docs subpackage is necessary. * %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package. * no headers. * no pkgconfig files. * no libtool .la droppings. * not a GUI app. APPROVED imported, owners list updated, branched, built for FC-4/5 and rawhide Package Change Request ====================== Package Name: perl-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel New Branches: epel7 Owners: fale InitialCC: perl-sig I'm okay with Fabio maintaining this in epel7.
