Comment 2 Chris Chabot 2006-01-18 14:23:31 UTC
Still looking for a reviewer? I'd be willing to pick it up. I see upstream has a
new version (0.40), want to update it to that version or want the review to be
for this one?

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2006-02-06 02:01:49 UTC
Yes, still need a reviewer.  No, I want/need libmal-0.31, since that's what
kdepim currently can use.

When/if there's ever a need/demand for 0.40, we can make a compat pkg.

Comment 4 Mike McGrath 2006-02-22 12:00:58 UTC
Looks good

Do the patches included in this srpm have an upstream url that you could append
to them in the spec file?

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2006-02-22 12:46:01 UTC
The patches are from me, so there is no upstream url for them.

Comment 6 John Mahowald 2006-02-24 15:49:40 UTC
Looks good overall, a few nitpicks:

Needs work:
* rpmlint of libmal: Remove empty files and capitalize summary.
* The package should contain the text of the license
  (wiki: PackageReviewGuidelines)

Just a couple spec tweaks, and query the author to package the license with the
tarball.

Comment 7 John Mahowald 2006-03-21 22:46:21 UTC
Oh, the license is included. Never mind about that.

- rpmlint checks return:
W: libmal summary-not-capitalized a convenience library for malsync
W: libmal summary-not-capitalized a convenience library for malsync
E: libmal zero-length /usr/share/doc/libmal-0.31/TODO
E: libmal zero-length /usr/share/doc/libmal-0.31/NEWS
E: libmal zero-length /usr/share/doc/libmal-0.31/AUTHORS
W: libmal-debuginfo objdump-failed
E: libmal-devel only-non-binary-in-usr-lib

Capitalize summary and remove empty files. for devel package,
only-non-binary-in-usr-lib, it's a symlink, ignore.

- package meets naming guidelines
- package meets packaging guidelines
- license (MPL) OK, text in %doc, matches source
- spec file legible, in am. english
- source matches upstream
- package compiles on devel (x86_64)
- no missing BR
- no unnecessary BR
- no locales
- not relocatable
- owns all directories that it creates
- no duplicate files
- permissions ok
- %clean ok
- macro use consistent
- code, not content
- no need for -docs
- nothing in %doc affects runtime
- no need for .desktop file

- devel package ok
- no .la files
- post/postun ldconfig ok
- devel requires base package n-v-r 

APPROVED
