Spec URL: http://kinginuyasha.enanocms.org/downloads/mingw-libdb-5.3.28-2.fc24.src.rpm
SRPM URL: http://kinginuyasha.enanocms.org/downloads/mingw-libdb.spec

Updated SRPM and Spec to use %license for storing license files.

Comment 3 Yaakov Selkowitz 2016-11-23 04:05:56 UTC
Are the EXEs really useful here?

Comment 4 Neal Gompa 2016-11-23 12:26:28 UTC
(In reply to Yaakov Selkowitz from comment #3)
> Are the EXEs really useful here?

If someone wants to bundle the tools with the application they are building, or they are designing something that will need them, it's good to have them available so they can be pulled in. There's no reason *not* to provide them.

The packaging guidelines[1] say otherwise.

Comment 6 Thomas Sailer 2017-02-22 16:07:41 UTC
The issues IMO are:
- preserve (header) timestamps
- tab vs. space in .spec
- summaries ("for Win32 for Win64 for Win64")

Comment 7 Thomas Sailer 2017-02-22 16:14:39 UTC
How about moving the *.exe into a separate subpackage?

Comment 8 greg.hellings 2017-04-13 16:01:42 UTC
I'll take over this -

Spec file: https://fedorapeople.org/~greghellings/mingw-libdb/mingw-libdb.spec
SRPM file: https://fedorapeople.org/~greghellings/mingw-libdb/mingw-libdb-5.3.28-3.fc26.src.rpm

I've updated in response to the above package review.

Comment 9 greg.hellings 2017-06-14 11:35:51 UTC
Any chance we could push this review along?

Comment 10 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2017-10-02 13:19:28 UTC
@greg.hellings

Package is good but it doesn't seem to be the latest version: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/berkeleydb/downloads/index-082944.html

Package is accepted still.
