looks *really* odd. Did you get an rpmlint warning about text in the wrong encoding? I'm not a PostScript expert, but I'd leave these files as-is.
You are right, it is wrong.
But now I get the following lint warnings:
octave-optim.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/octave/packages/optim-1.0.16/doc/figures/2D_slice-3.eps2 octave-optim.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/octave/packages/optim-1.0.16/doc/figures/optim_tutorial_slice.eps
I think these warnings are bogus, they are coming from a binary portion of the eps file.
Yes. rpmlint often causes false alarms.
MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license. NEEDSWORK
Well, the DESCRIPTION file contained in the source archive lists GFDL as well as GPLv2+, so that's why it is listed in the RPM license field as well.
OK. Now I see that optim-mini-howto-2.lyx specifies that it is under the GFDL. But I also now notice that many files that were not examined by licensecheck specify GPLv3+. So the correct tag is License: GPLv2+ and GPLv3+ and GFDL.
I don't see the point in shipping a LyX file (or the Makefile!), so you should compile the documentation by adding BuildRequires: tex(latex) and running make -C doc DVIPDF=dvipdf optim-mini-howto-2.pdf in %build.
Then, at the end of %install run rm -rf %{octpkgdir}/doc to get rid of the unnecessary stuff, and add
%doc doc/optim-mini-howto-2.pdf doc/development/interfaces.txt
Please add a '-v' flag in the Makefile, so that the commands used in the build are displayed.
Sorry where do you want -v exactly?
Even though the make process clearly compiles something, the compiler flags are not shown. According to the man page, you should add -v flag to the mkoctfile commands:
-v, --verbose Echo commands as they are executed.
If I use octave_pkg_build, I get a build error: error: the following dependencies where unsatisfied: optim needs miscellaneous >= 1.0.11 optim needs struct >= 1.0.9
even though octave-miscellaneous and octave-struct are installed. Seems there is a problem with the dependency detection.
Then please file a bug against octave. Maybe the -nodeps flag needs to be added to the octave_pkg_build macro.
