2 outstanding bugs - check for outstanding bugs on package.

Issues:

1. Minor: might include a copy of the GPL.

2. Since redhat/fedora is upstream for this, can you make a note in the spec
as suggested in:
http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL#head-413e1c297803cfa9de0cc4c56f3ac384bff5dc9e

3. I assume the reason it only builds on ix86/x86_64 is that it only understands
lilo/grub? Might be worth filing a bug and noting it in the spec and see if
some ppc folk are interested in contributing yaboot support.

4. Please use one of the preferred buildroots, such as:
   %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)

5. Do not use %makeinstall. See:
http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/MakeInstall

6. The desktop file is missing a valid Main Category, see:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html
Suggest: System or Settings be added.
Without this, this tool shows up under a "Other" menu in Xfce.

7. The buildrequires are not all needed, suggest changing:
BuildRequires: python >= 0:2.2, perl, gettext, glibc-devel, gcc,
desktop-file-utils, yelp, perl-XML-Parser

to

BuildRequires: python, gettext, desktop-file-utils, yelp, perl-XML-Parser

8. Shouldn't the firstboot package own
%dir /usr/share/firstboot/
%dir /usr/share/firstboot/modules
and not this package?

9. 2 outstanding bugs. Might look if either can be resolved easily.

10. rpmlint says:

a)
E: system-config-boot no-binary

I assume this is not noarch since it can be only run on ix86/x86_64?

b)
W: system-config-boot conffile-without-noreplace-flag /etc/pam.d/system-config-boot
W: system-config-boot conffile-without-noreplace-flag
/etc/security/console.apps/system-config-boot

Suggest: should those be (noreplace)?

c)
W: system-config-boot no-documentation

No docs available?

d)
E: system-config-boot non-executable-script
/usr/share/firstboot/modules/boot_gui.py 0644
E: system-config-boot non-executable-script
/usr/share/system-config-boot/system-config-boot.py 0644
Suggest: remove the #!/usr/bin/python from those.

e)
W: system-config-boot unversioned-explicit-obsoletes redhat-config-boot

Suggest: add a version here? or just remove it at this point?

f)
W: system-config-boot rpm-buildroot-usage %prep rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
E: system-config-boot no-cleaning-of-buildroot %install

Suggest: Move the rm from prep to the top of install?

g)
W: system-config-boot macro-in-%changelog dist
W: system-config-boot macro-in-%changelog dist

Suggest: Change occurances of %dist in the changelog with %%dist

h)
E: system-config-boot-debuginfo empty-debuginfo-package

I guess you need to add
 %define debug_package %{nil}
if this really has to be an arch package.
