--- Comment #2 from Ralf Corsepius  ---
Some remarks: There are quite a few issues with this submission:

1. You (Mosaab Alzoubi) are pointing to a package in SUSE's OBS, which appears
to have been authored by somebody named "Muhammad Shaban".
Could you elaborate this situation?

2. The spec files needs further work to comply with the Fedora Packaging
Guidelines. Please make yourself familiar with the Fedora Packaging Guidelines.

Just to mention some issues:

- Source:  %{name}-%{version}.tar.bz2
Source/Source0 should be an URL pointing to an upstream hosting the tarball.

- URL-Tag is missing
Where can upstream be found?

- Requires:  perl cpio rpm dpkg debhelper gcc rpm-build
Please check this. These Requires: seem questionable to me. 
E.g. I cannot spot any reference to gcc inside of this package.

- 
Obsoletes: alien alien-almasa
Provides:  alien alien-almasa

IIRC, alien-almasa has never been part of Fedora
=> there isn't any reason to Obsolete/Provide: alien-almasa in Fedora.

AFAIS, this package does not conflict with alien and can coexist with alien.
=> there isn't any reason to Obsolete/Provide: alien

- In Fedora, %description is supposed to be in English. Mixing other languages
and/or scripts into %description is not allowed.
If you want to keep/add an Arabic description, move the Arab description into a
separate "%description -l ar" section.

[N.B.: Chances to getting this package into Fedora a bigger, if you entirel
remove the Arab section, because most Fedora packagers don't understand/read
Arab and therefore will not be able to check this package for "legibility" and
will not be able to approve this package.

c.f.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines?rd=Packaging/Guidelines#....]

- I understand, this spec file's author isn't a native English speaker and
likely has limited knowledge of the English language, however this package's
%description is phrased in a way, I feel, it should be reworked.

OK , Welcome for revision .

Alien program which is package convertor missing many necessary features , so
Almasa Alien first built.
Almasa Alien is alien with some changes that allow to control of
generated-packages depends, and I sent
the changes to Alien maintainer Joey Hess, but I didn't have answers, So I
forked alien completely in
new program Almohawell .

Almohawell has many new required features such as working in multi version of
perl in one package , also
Almohawell makes many features as editing requires,license,group,maintainer in
generated package .

Generated RPMS by alien don't compatible with new version of Fedora (and
similar) so Almohawell fixing this
bug, RPMS generated by Almohawell have ability to install in Fedora.

I port Almohawell to Fedora to make a way for porting Almohazzem packaging SDK
to Fedora repos.

I and Muhammad Shaban working together in smae team, we are seniors of Linux
Arab Community http://linuxac.org
So he write RPM package of Almohawell.

------------

For Almohawell spec , I'll try to rewrite it with your marks.

I wrote the describtion of Almohawell in Arabic because it's distributed in
Arbic world :)

Thank you.

Hint:

If you think providing arabic description is helpful for arabic world people(I
think I'm right), then put them like this:

-----------

%description
hello world

%description -l ar
مرحبا يا عالم ;)

ar is scratched from ISO 639-X.

Yes, I've seen that. But it seems I forgot to paste another part of my comment:

-------------

And do not write something like thanks/credits and license information in all
%description(we all know all softwares are open sourced in the repo).

-------------

Besides I tell him how to write actually, he may understand it now.

And I don't think it's a big problem unless you disagree, would you like to
waste another new comment?

I think this package violates the GPL.

It's clearly a derivative works of alien and therefore must be licensed GPL'ed
only.

Almohawell in Waqf license , Alien in Almohawell still in GPL , so whole
program as mixed in Waqf (WPL) .

Fedora doing this, it  contain many programs every program has a license and
Fedora as mixed has its license.

Wrong. The GPL does not allow any addtional license restrictions to be applied
to a GPL'ed package.

If mixing non-GPL'ed sources into GPL-derived packages, all these non-GPL'ed
sources must be GPL-compatible, which in sum renders the whole package GPL'ed
("GPL as umbrella". Individual files under different licenses, the package as a
whole under the GPL)

As the Waqf is not an OSI-approved nor FSF-approved license, with many people
having doubts on the Waqf not being GPL-compatible, I consider this package to
violate copyright laws.

Cf. above. GPL as umbrella.

Yes, IMO, upstream releasing Almohawell under GPL2 or GPLv2+ 
* with all references to WAQF removed 
or 
* with WAQF having been approved by the OSI of the FSF
would be perfectly OK (But IANAL).

Well ,

Prophet Muhammad PBUH says : من كتم علما ألجمه الله يوم القيامة بلجام من نار
Which mean : Whoever conceals knowledge, Allah will bridle him with a bridle of
fire

So all science in Islam must be public and free. That is fully agree with
opensource Philosophy and Methodology .. (GPL in)

Waqf takes this Islamic rule as main target of its using .

Also Waqf is common in Arab opensource community .

I'll try to contact with OSI of FSF .

IMO, that's pretty much irrelevant, here, because the GPL doesn't allow any 
additions to it - Let's wait what RH's lawyers say.

Joey Hess has replied.

He has authorized me to forward this:

<joeyhess@kitenet@net>
This is the first that I've heard of this fork

almohawell clearly contains code from alien. It still has my name on it
as the author. Most of the changes are branding changes.

Alien is licensed under version 2 or higher of the GPL, and I have never
given permission for it to be used under any other license.

I can't (under GPL or Waqf) remove Joey name from any fork.

Almohawell contain many things Alien don't :
1- Generated RPM by Alien couldn't install under Fedora , Almohawell ones do.
2- Edit maintainer of the generating package.
3- Edit requires of the generating package.
4- Edit license of the generating package.
5- Edit group of the generating package.

I talked to Waqf maintainer : He said : (30 days at least of discuss to approve
Waqf at OSI)

Tell that I'll release Almohawell under GPL.

I sent This message and didn't have any reply :

I'm not insisting here as there are really not shared.
> What requires I miss ??
> From the link above:

All perl modules must include the versioned MODULE_COMPAT Requires:
Requires:  perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_%(eval "`%{__perl} -V:version`"; echo $version))

Almohawell is not a module in strict meaning, I agree. So if you think it is
not you case - indicate this explicitly here.

Thanks!

Ok. Let me look deeper. Differences from alien are:

--requires
--license
--group
--maintainer
--requires
-w, --without

Did you try to ask Joey Hess to enable this options in original alien?

The provides are dead wrong:

# rpm -q --provides -p
/var/lib/mock/fedora-rawhide-i386/result/almohawell-9.3.2-4.fc23.noarch.rpm 
almohawell = 9.3.2-4.fc23
perl(Almohawell::Package)
perl(Almohawell::Package::Deb)
perl(Almohawell::Package::Lsb)
perl(Almohawell::Package::Pkg)
perl(Almohawell::Package::Rpm)
perl(Almohawell::Package::Slp)
perl(Almohawell::Package::Tgz)

perl(...) would correspond to these modules being installed to
%{perl_vendorlib}, which they aren't.

=> These provides MUST be filtered out, unless they are installed to
%{perl_vendorlib}

@Mosaab: Feel very strongly encouraged to install them to %{perl_vendorlib}.
You are not doing yourself or Fedora a favor and shooting yourselfs into the
foot by installing them elsewhere.
