* What I always cannot find out is under what license x11iraf
  is released. Would you please verify?

* I just tried to rebuild but it failed.

I asked in the iraf.net forum about the xiraf license. Here is the thread:
http://iraf.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=86447&highlight=fedora

Basically, xiraf is covered under the iraf license, that I attach here. I asked
them to include the copyright file in the net release.

This is MIT, acceptable, would you fix the build failure first?

I can't get to reproduce the failure. I have built it in mock for i386 and
x86_64. Could it be a problem with ppc?

Well, I tried i386 x86_64 ppc ppc64 and only ppc build fails.

ppc:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=218341
i386:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=218338

build.log differs at the beginning between i386 and ppc at below:
--------------------------------------------------------------
 + mkdir -p app-defaults
 make  arch      X11IRAFDIR=$PWD
 make[1]: Entering directory `/builddir/build/BUILD/x11iraf-1.5'
-Configuring X11IRAF for redhat...
-Restore archived redhat objects...
+Configuring X11IRAF for linuxppc...
+Restore archived linuxppc objects...
 No object archive found; full sysgen will be needed.
----------------------------------------------------------------
So perhaps resize file are created under different directory.

The related points are perhaps in mkarch file.
----------------------------------------------------------------
    40      case linux:
    41          if (`$uname_cmd -m` == "ppc") then
    42               set mach = "linuxppc"
    43          else
    44              if (-f /etc/redhat-release) then
    45                  set mach = "redhat"
    46              else if (-f /etc/SuSE-release) then
    47                  set mach = "suse"
    48              else
    49                  set mach = "linux"
    50              endif
    51          endif
    52          breaksw
----------------------------------------------------------------

Well, for 1.5-0.4:

* ppc build issue
  - Please fix ppc build

* On description section:
  - Please specify full URL for Source0
  - Fix license
    - And include real license text
    - Also write a document which notifies that you have already asked
      upstream about license issue and upstream surely answered that
      this is licensed under MIT.

* Desktop files
  - At least desktop file is needed for xgterm. 

By the way:
If you don't have ppc machine (I don't have ppc), you can try scratch build
on koji:

$ koji build --scratch <target> <srpm_you_want_to_try>

Currently <target> can be: dist-f9, dist-f8-updates-candidate, or
dist-fc7-updates-candidate.

* Well, now it builds in ppc (thnks for the tip)
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=220167

* The license (COPYRIGHT) and the explanation (README.COPYRIGHT) are now
included. The url in Source0 is also included

* I have added a desktop file for xgterm

Spec URL: http://sergiopr.fedorapeople.org/x11iraf.spec
SRPM URL: http://sergiopr.fedorapeople.org/x11iraf-1.5-0.4.DEV.fc6.src.rpm

Upss, the source rpm is
http://sergiopr.fedorapeople.org/x11iraf-1.5-0.5.DEV.fc7.src.rpm

Now I checked the whole source codes.
This time I checked only license issue and have not checked
any packaging issue yet.

* License issue
  - The licenses of the following codes are very problematic
    and cannot be accepted for Fedora _IMO_.
----------------------------------------------------------------
./obm-deep/ObmW/HTML.c
./obm-deep/ObmW/HTML.h
... and some other files under ./obm-deep/ObmW/
... and similar files under ./obm/ObmW/

./obm/ObmW/Table.c
./obm/ObmW/Table.h
... and some other files under ./obm/ObmW
----------------------------------------------------------------


  - Other licenses
    - The following has zlib/libpng license:
----------------------------------------------------------------
./obm-deep/Tcl/regexp.c
./obm/Tcl/regexp.c
----------------------------------------------------------------

    - Many TCL related files are licensed under TCL.

Setting FE-legal

Yes, these files are under a license with commercial use restrictions,
accordingly, it is non-free and not permissable for Fedora.

You should make an attempt to contact the copyright holder (looks like it is
UIUC) and see if they will relicense that code.

Sorry. :/

I've mailed Mr. Romanovski, I'm hoping he will help us.

No response at all :((

I think we can close the bug report. xgterm is not needed to run Iraf and I'm
not interested in this package anymore

Okay. Then once closing.
If you got interested again, please feel free to open a new review
request and mark this bug as a duplicate of the new one.
