the LGPL. Should change that to the COPYING.LIB file instead.

Source4:        utf8-ta.po

3. I assume that this package won't work with db4, and needs the
old db-1.85 thats included?

4. Is this needed, since extras doesn't ship on ia64?

Is there some way to remove the rpath?

Actually the libraries are LGPL but the support tools are GPL, so I've added
COPYING.LIB rather than replace COPYING.

I've added a full URL for db.1.85.tar.gz; the others appear only to exist in Red
Hat/Fedora CVS (probably created by the Red Hat maintainer at some point during
the package's long spell in Core), though I've added some comments about where
to find them.

Gnome specifically uses db version 1.85 so that there's a consistent database
format across different platforms/distribution releases etc. So yes, db 1.85 is
needed.

Well, it doesn't stop us adding sparc support where needed, so I don't think
there's any harm in supporting ia64. However, since this is a package for FC6
onwards and the conflict is with a rather ancient glibc version, I removed it
anyway.

Debatable. gnome-libs has historically always been packaged without the
noreplace for these files. I'll change it if you insist though.

Agreed.

I used the FC6 libtool instead of the bundled one and that seems to have fixed it.

Update packages:
Spec URL: http://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/Gnome-1/gnome-libs.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/Gnome-1/gnome-libs-1.4.2-3.src.rpm

all good on 1-4. 
(db1 source md5sum matches upstream)

On item 5: 

>Debatable. gnome-libs has historically always been packaged without the
>noreplace for these files. I'll change it if you insist though.

I don't think thats a blocker... this package is unlikely to get much in the 
way of updates anyhow. 

The rpath issue looks to be all fixed up. 

I see no further blockers, so this package is APPROVED. 
Don't forget to close this package with NEXTRELEASE once it's been imported and 
built. 

 17302 (gnome-libs): Build on target fedora-development-extras succeeded.
     Build logs may be found at
http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/logs/fedora-development-extras/17302-gnome-libs-1.4.2-3.fc6/

owners.list updated.

Thanks for the review.
