I am not an official reviewer, so consider this a pre-review.

Builds in mock on i386 fedora core 6. Installs and runs - however I haven't got
a scanner, so I cannot test functionality.

rpmlint produces one error:
W: gnomescan-devel no-documentation

Which I suppose is fine, since the documentation belongs in the main package and
not in the devel package.

Package and spec file are correctly named
Language and license are fine.
find_lang is correctly used for locales.
ldconfig is correctly called in %post and %postun
Packages correctly own directories.
Correctly handles pkgconfig files.
Header files are in devel package.
Includes a .desktop file that is correctly installed.

What I am unsure about is this. It seems to me that this includes both gnomescan
(flegita - the actual scanning application) and libgnomescan. Should the two be
packaged separately?

Thanks for looking at it.

I believe it's okay as is, seems like flegita is sort of a codename or nickname,
and people who want to use the libs part can make use of the -devel subpackage.

 I don' think we need both packaged separately.

However, I found that you don't need pkgconfig as BR for main package.
Also, do we really need libtool as BR and all other make LIBTOOL? I removed them
and did mock test and it went fine.
Can you check that with testing application??
 

Also i found you have option to create a separate package for gimp-plugin that
will contains single file in its installation.

Maybe not explicitly (probably some other dependencies pulled it in inside mock
for you), if you check the configure log you'll see that it checks for the
presence of pkgconfig, so its needed  for building.

Did you run rpmlint on the resulting binary? If you did, you will have found out
it has some rpath issues caused by using the libtool script bundled with the
package. That's the reason for the libtool as BR and all other make LIBTOOL.
(See
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Schedule/RpathCheckBuildsys?highlight=%28rpath%29)

As for your other comment on separate package for gimp-plugin, I don't think its
necessary just for a single file. Or is there some technical reason(s) for it to
be a separate package?

My argument for maybe packaging libgnomescan separately is that if someone
produces another scanning application, and depends on gnomescan-devel we
suddenly have two different scanning applications installed, since
gnomescan-devel depends on gnomescan.

It is probably a minor detail at this, and is all depends on how you expect
libgnomescan to be used by other applications.
