Description Steven Pritchard 2005-09-02 00:38:56 UTC
Spec Name or Url: http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/perl-DateTime/perl-DateTime.spec
SRPM Name or Url: http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/perl-DateTime-0.2901-1.src.rpm
Description:
The DateTime.pm module aims to provide a complete, correct, and easy to use
date/time object implementation. Currently it handles many date
calculations, date math (addition and subtraction), and provides convenient
methods for retrieving portions of a date/time.

This package is a bit odd.  To avoid circular dependencies, I've bundled DateTime, DateTime::Locale, and DateTime::TimeZone.

Comment 1 Paul Howarth 2005-09-16 13:36:58 UTC
Well, this was an interesting package. Looking at it, I found a few problems and
nit-picks without doing a formal review:

- The DateTime tarball was unpacked three times, once when expected and also
when the other two tarballs were unpacked

- The files list listed some files more than once (since the package contains a
mix of arch-specific and arch-independent modules, and %{perl_vendorarch} is
included within %{perl_vendorlib})

- The DT::Locale module includes an additional license file

- The package wasn't rpmlint clean (complains about having both versioned and
unversioned Provides: entries for two of the modules)

- The package doesn't build in mock (PERLLIB gets clobbered by the test scripts)

I've had a go at fixing all of these issues, and will attach a new spec file to
this bug. See what you think.

Comment 4 Paul Howarth 2005-09-16 18:44:11 UTC
Review:

- rpmlint clean
- package and spec naming OK
- package meets guidelines
- license is same as perl, matches spec, text included
- some files licensed differently (disttributable), additional license included
- spec file written in English and is legible
- sources match upstream
- package builds OK in FC4 and in mock for FC3 and rawhide (i386)
- BR's OK
- 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 desktop file needed
- no scriptlets

Approved.

No response from owner, and it's going to be tied to EL-6 SRPMs anyway...
