Auditing Another Colleagues Package

Two tasks for the week.
1. Package the pre-release of GCC 4.5 and has it work with my dehydra package.
2. Audit a fellow Colleagues Package and make sure it follows the "Fedora Review" guidelines. And the package I choose to review was viewsource, packaged by my friend jddeni

So far, I haven't had much success to both of them. Sadly I am unable to connect to our RPM Repo to grab the source RPM **AHEM** REPO Master **AHEM**, because I am getting the following error.


So I thought maybe I should remove the current DXR-Project RPM Repo package and reinstall it. So I did a "yum remove DXR-PROJECT" to remove the files from our /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory linking to our repo. Then grabbed the file again from our nice website that our repo master Alex "scripted" up. Sadly again, it ended with bad news, so I think our repo master needs to recompile the repo data in the directory.

So, next I went onto scotland and grabbed the file myself. I went to the directory that hosts all our class projects RPM files and copied the viewsource file onto my desktop.

I ran the the command "rpm -i viewsource-1.1-1.fc11.src.rpm" and was prompted with the following warning.

warning: viewsource-1.1-1.fc11.src.rpm: Header V4 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID caffd37d

By this warning, I'm thinking that the source package was not signed correctly. I notified my colleagues about the situation and hopefully they can fix it so I can finish off this weeks tasks.

Look forward to my second post talking about packaging a pre-release of GCC4.5
