SRPM: http://mmcgrath.net/~mmcgrath/BackupPC/BackupPC-2.1.2-1.src.rpm

* Fri Jul 21 2006 Mike McGrath <imlinux> 2.1.2-2
- Added requires: perl(File::RsyncP)

ok  couple of quick things

builds ok in mock
looking through build log
we probably want to default the backup server to localhost  not the builders 
name in the config,  and i think we should change in the config the default 
backup type from smb to rsync

  package meets naming and packaging guidelines.
 specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently.
 build root is correct.
      %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
 license field matches the actual license.
 license is open source-compatible. GPL License text included in package.
 source files match upstream:
[dennis@daedalus SPECS]$ sha1sum BackupPC-2.1.2.tar.gz
9f99e201fbf6bbd016c19007e5fb4072d77312c7  BackupPC-2.1.2.tar.gz

9f99e201fbf6bbd016c19007e5fb4072d77312c7  ../SOURCES/BackupPC-2.1.2.tar.gz

 latest version is being packaged.
 BuildRequires are proper.
 package builds in mock ( ).

BackupPC = 2.1.2-2

 no shared libraries are present.
 package is not relocatable.
 owns the directories it creates.
 doesn't own any directories it shouldn't.
 no duplicates in %files.
 file permissions are appropriate.
 %clean is present.

 scriptlets present and correct
 code, not content.
 documentation is small, so no -docs subpackage is necessary.
 %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package.
 no headers.
 no pkgconfig files.
 no libtool .la droppings.
 not a GUI app.

Non Fatal errors 
 dist tag is not present.

as for the rpmlint warnings errors  i think that  due to the nature of this 
app they are needed to be as they are.  It provides a layer of seperation from 
the backup app and the system.

Spec: http://mmcgrath.net/~mmcgrath/BackupPC/BackupPC.spec
SRPM: http://mmcgrath.net/~mmcgrath/BackupPC/BackupPC-2.1.2-3.src.rpm

- Changes to defaults in config.pl
- Added Requires: rsync

Spec: http://mmcgrath.net/~mmcgrath/BackupPC/BackupPC.spec
SRPM: http://mmcgrath.net/~mmcgrath/BackupPC/BackupPC-2.1.2-3.src.rpm

- Properly marking config files as such

FWIW, a few comments:
- The latest spec is for Release 4.  The download area seems to contain a binary
rpm for this release, but not a src rpm.
- In order to set up ssh keys, the admin must (I think) change the backuppc user
to have a shell, set up ssh, and then change back to /sbin/nologin.  Not sure if
there's a way around this, but you might want to document this.
- You might want to include upstream patch BackupPC-2.1.2pl2.diff (which is
needed to work with the latest versions of rsync).  It also fixes other bugs.
- perl-File-RsyncP-0.62-1.src.rpm wouldn't compile for me on an up-to-date
x86_64 FC5.  0.52 is OK.

- Added upstream patch

try using
http://mmcgrath.net/~mmcgrath/perl-File-RsyncP/perl-File-RsyncP-0.62-2.src.rpm
Its actually been approved and built.  You should be able to yum it soon.  

SSH keys - I find it best not to tell admins how their security should be done.
 Especially since BackupPC supports so many different methods for backup. 
Having said that it might not be a bad idea to at least point them to the
BackupPC documentation for setting up ssh keys.

Builds for me :)

Agreed.  I guess my point is:
- The package defaults to rsync over ssh.
- The official BackupPC docs describe a procedure for setting up ssh that won't
work if the backuppc user does not have a shell.
Again, not really sure if you should do anything about this...  Hopefully most
users will figure it out.

- One more config change

looks good now
