https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204263
------- Additional Comments From mtasaka@ioa.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp 2006-08-29 08:37 EST ------- Created an attachment (id=135122) --> (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=135122&action=vie...) file lists of geda-symbols
First review.
1. From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines :
* Timestamps - Well, it seems this package has many text files. So preserving timestamps is very desirable. Try to change "make install" option so that (perhaps) most files can keep timestamps. In xscreensaver case (I maintain xscreensaver), I use
make INSTALL="install -p" install
Check if this package accepts such options, or, if not, change Makefile so that install command is used with -p option.
* File and Directory Ownership
- %{_datadir}/gEDA/scheme %{gedadocdir}/man
I don't know why these empty directories needs to be included in this package.
Usually if other packages install some files in these directories, it is the package which should own these directories, not this package. However, * if you aim to sumbit other packages and * the packages install some files in that directories and * the packages surely requires this package, these directories can be owned by this package.
Let me know your opinion about these directories.
2. From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines : okay.
3. Other things I have noticed :
- Consider if /usr/share/gEDA/docs can be moved to usual document files' location, i.e. /usr/share/doc/geda-symbols-%{version}
- I will attach the file entry of geda-symbols rebuilt in mock. Please check if all files you want to install in this package are correctly packaged.
--------------------- BTW, could you review my package (bug 204461) ? Again, this package is aimed for Japanese users......
