Look for a full review in a bit.

OK - Package has %defattr and permissions on files is good.
OK - Package has a correct %clean section.
OK - Package has correct buildroot
OK - Package is code or permissible content.
OK - Packages %doc files don't affect runtime.

See below - Package is a GUI app and has a .desktop file

OK - Package compiles and builds on at least one arch.
OK - Package has no duplicate files in %files.
OK - Package doesn't own any directories other packages own.
OK - Package owns all the directories it creates.
OK - No rpmlint output.
See below - final provides and requires are sane:

SHOULD Items:

OK - Should build in mock.
OK - Should build on all supported archs
OK - Should have dist tag
OK - Should package latest version

Issues:

1. Whats with the commented line in the files section?
#%{_libexecdir}/xfce4/panel-plugins/%{name}

2. Your desktop file needs desktop-file-install:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#head-254ddf07aae20a23ced8cecc219d8f73926e9755

3. This package provides:
libsmartbookmark.so
Is that correct? Or should that be filtered?

This is the new location of xfce4-panel plugins. Hopefully with the next version
 libsmarbookmark.so will be moved from %{_libdir}/xfce4/panel-plugins to
%{_libexecdir}/xfce4/panel-plugins. When all panel plugins are _fully_ ported to
the new panel plugin API you can drop %{_libdir}/xfce4/panel-plugins from you
xfce4-panel package.

> 2. Your desktop file needs desktop-file-install:

Really? I always thought this was only for applications that show up in the main
menu. This desktop file only appears in the "Add Items to the Panel" dialog. I
think in this case there's not need to install the file with
desktop-file-install, because we don't need to modify it (--add-category,
--vendor etc.).

Think of your xfce-utils package, which installs xfce4.desktop in
/usr/share/xsessions or of all the files installed under /etc/xdg/autostart by
xfce4-session and others. None of these packages uses desktop-file-install.

IMO it is correct, but useless.

I think that it is incorrect, but harmless. And not worth taking care
of it manually in fedora, it should be handled
* upstream, by not providing the useless soname (which certainly means
  changing libtool)
* at the rpm level, by automatically adding sonames only for sonames
  in %_libdir and directories searched for by ldd

I can certainly talk to upstream about the first, but the second needs to be
fixed in rpm. As we all know rpm is about to change a lot in the near future, so
I don't think that this will be fixed soon.

Comment 6 Kevin Fenzi 2006-12-22 16:51:00 UTC
ok, on item 1, perhaps a comment above that line explaining that the plugin will
move there someday?

on item 2, sorry about that. I saw .desktop and didn't look as closely as I
should have. I agree that desktop-file-install is unneeded. 

on item 3, yeah, mentioning it to upstream would probibly be a good idea. 
I wonder if the new rpm.org has a 'wishlist' page we could add that idea to?

I don't see any further issues... so this package is APPROVED. 

Don't forget to close this NEXTRELEASE once it's been imported and built.

Ok, will do after import.

rpm.org is under construction ATM, they don't have a whishlist nor bugzilla.
On http://wiki.rpm.org/ReportingBugs Jesse suggests to file bugs in Fedora's
bugzilla for now.

Thanks for the review, Kevin!

I don't think it is worth it, since it is libtool which drives
the link, and (to my knowledge) there is no way to prevent libtool
to add a soname. It is also possible that I am wrong and that a 
soname is needed even if it has no practical use.

Comment 9 Christoph Wickert 2006-12-22 22:57:30 UTC
