SPEC name invalid.

Use your real name in bugzilla.

Read carefully:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group

SPEC file:

1. Packager: xxxx <txxx>

Remove that.

2. ExclusiveArch: %{ix86} x86_64

Why?

3. ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}

Bad.

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Using_.25.7Bbuildroot.7D_and_.25.7Boptflags.7D_vs_.24RPM_BUILD_ROOT_and_.24RPM_OPT_FLAGS

4. cp contrib/fedora/nield.service ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/%{_unitdir}

Use install -pm644 to do that.

5. %clean

Remove this section please.

6. %files
/usr/sbin/nield

/usr/sbin --> %{_sbindir}

7. %doc /usr/share/man/man8/nield.8.gz

No %doc for manpages please.

Also list manpages by:

%{_mandir}/man8/nield.8*

8. * Thu Apr 17 2014 t2mune - 0.5.0-1

Who are you? Name? Email address? I assume you are not a troll.

Also,

9. [ -d ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/%{_unitdir} ] || mkdir -p ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}/%{_unitdir}

You don't need to use script here, just

mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_unitdir}

is enough.

Hi Christopher,

Thank you for your comments.
I've posted a new version, taking account of them:

Spec URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nield/files/nield-0.5.0/nield.spec
SRPM URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nield/files/nield-0.5.0/nield-0.5.0-1.fc20.src.rpm
Description: nield(Network Interface Events Logging Daemon) is a tool that receives notifications from the kernel through the netlink socket, and generates logs related to link state, neighbor cache(ARP,NDP), IP address(IPv4,IPv6), route, FIB rules, traffic control.
Fedora Account System Username: t2mune

Please use spaces after parentheses!

License is GPLv2+, run licensecheck on the source code to see why! As you are the developer, you should state the license in every file, not just a random few.

The changelog format is not correct yet: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Changelogs

Use the version macro in the Source line. You can also use the name macro there.

You must include %doc COPYING in the files section of your spec file and I recommend adding "ChangeLog" as well.

I meant _before_!

Hi Volker,

Tyank you for comments.

> Please use spaces after parentheses!
Could you give me more details?

Oh, just "Blah blah (something)" instead of "Blah blah(something)".

I uploaded new files:

This package include a part of files in linux-headers (GPL),
but there are no mention of a license and copyright in some files.
What would be the best thing to do?

Please also follow this carefully:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers

Updated so as not to include kernel header files.
Could you review them?

And I ran licensecheck and rpmlint.
"netlink" is not a spelling error.
