Hi all,
Busy with correcting the rear.spec and some other comments you mentioned above.

I've seeing now:
[makerpm at localhost SPECS]$ rpmlint -i
/home/makerpm/rpmbuild/SRPMS/rear-1.7.8-1.fc9.src.rpm 
rear.src: W: strange-permission rear.spec 0600
A file that you listed to include in your package has strange permissions.
Usually, a file should have 0644 permissions.

1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.


[makerpm at localhost SPECS]$ rpmlint -i
/home/makerpm/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/rear-1.7.8-1.fc9.noarch.rpm
rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/doc/rear-1.7.8/contrib
./usr/share/rear/contrib
The relative symbolic link points nowhere.

rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/rear/skel/default/bin/sh
bash
The relative symbolic link points nowhere.

rear.noarch: W: hidden-file-or-dir /usr/share/rear/skel/default/.bash_history
The file or directory is hidden. You should see if this is normal, and delete
it from the package if not.

rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/doc/rear-1.7.8/README
./usr/share/rear/README
The relative symbolic link points nowhere.

rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/doc/rear-1.7.8/CHANGES
./usr/share/rear/CHANGES
The relative symbolic link points nowhere.

rear.noarch: W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/rear/skel/default/init
bin/init
The relative symbolic link points nowhere.

rear.noarch: E: zero-length /usr/share/rear/skel/default/var/log/lastlog
rear.noarch: E: zero-length /usr/share/rear/skel/default/var/lib/nfs/state
rear.noarch: E: zero-length /usr/share/rear/skel/default/etc/mtab
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 3 errors, 6 warnings.
[makerpm at localhost SPECS]$ rpmlint -i /home/makerpm/rpmbuild/SRPMS/rear-1.7.
Error: no installed packages by name /home/makerpm/rpmbuild/SRPMS/rear-1.7.
0 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.

==> Rear makes usage of relative symbolic links. Is there a way to suppress
these warning? Or is it safe to ignore?
==> the zero-length file are necessary when we build a boot image. We can 
safely ignore these errors. Is there a way to tell in rear.spec file to say we
can ignore "zero length" files?

Would like to avoid submitting a new version which still produces errors during
a rpmlint investigation.

thanks,
Gratien
