Description Tom "spot" Callaway 2006-01-08 18:29:10 UTC 
Spec Name or Url: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/perl-AnyData.spec
SRPM Name or Url: http://www.auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/perl-AnyData-0.10-1.src.rpm
Description: 

The AnyData modules provide simple and uniform access to data from
many sources -- perl arrays, local files, remote files retrievable via
http or ftp -- and in many formats including flat files (CSV, Fixed
Length, Tab Delimited, etc), standard format files (Web Logs,
Passwd files, etc.),  structured files (XML, HTML Tables) and binary
files with parseable headers (mp3s, jpgs, pngs, etc).

There are two separate modules, each providing a different interface:
AnyData.pm provides a simple tied hash interface and DBD::AnyData
provides a DBI/SQL interface.  You can use either or both depending on
your needs.

This package is a new BuildRequires for perl-Class-DBI-AbstractSearch.
Comment 1 Eric Tanguy 2006-01-25 16:59:11 UTC 
Review for release 1:
* RPM name is OK
* Source AnyData-0.10.tar.gz is the same as upstream
* Builds fine in mock
* rpmlint of perl-AnyData looks OK
* File list of perl-AnyData looks OK

Needs work:
* BuildRequires: perl should not be included
  (wiki: PackagingGuidelines#Exceptions)
* Missing SMP flags. If it doesn't build with it, please add a comment
  (wiki: PackagingGuidelines#parallelmake)
* The package should contain the text of the license
  (wiki: PackageReviewGuidelines)

Agreed.

This only applies of the upstream tarball includes the license text, which this
one doesn't.
