Dehydra Package: Reviewing The Fedora Review Guidelines

In order for us to put my dehydra package on the next Fedora Release we need to make sure it passes the Fedora Review Guidelines.

So I went through my SPEC file to see what needs to be fixed or corrected so it can pass the Fedora Review Phase. So far I went through the checklist and I think everything is OK. I did the rpmlint test on all the RPM files, and they all passed with no errors only a couple warnings.

** if any of you have the time, can you please also check my package if it would pass the review board and just make a comment, thanks BoChao :)

[bchao@HongKong SPECS]$ rpmlint dehydra.spec
dehydra.spec:7: W: non-standard-group Applications/Programming
dehydra.spec:32: W: configure-without-libdir-spec
0 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings.

Since its 4am in the morning, I don't think Chris Tyler would be awake so I jumped on IRC and joined the #fedora-devel channel on the freenode server.

Here is a snippet of our conversation: IRC Chat


After that conversation, I went back to my spec file and added the comments he suggested.

And Now We have dehydra-0.9-3

Sadly this is not ready to be release to public till I get my other project up and running which is backporting GCC4.5 to 4.4

Here is my updated dehydra spec file
