--- Comment #13 from Jason Tibbitts <tibbs at math.uh.edu>  2009-03-11 22:01:18 EDT ---
Builds fine and rpmlint is silent.

Since this package has only static libraries, it's OK that they're in the devel
package but you must provide libgarmin-static (and any packages that need to
link against the .a need build dependencies on it).

Most files don't seem to have a license block; those that do are GPLv2 (only)
and the author adds a note at the head of the COPYING file which clarifies v2
only for the rest.

The description could use a little cleanup. I would suggest something like:
  Libgarmin is a library used to parse IMG files from Garmin GPS devices.

The COPYING, REAMDE and TODO files are duplicated.  You should choose one
package to contain them.


* source files match upstream (manually compared with checkout).
* package meets naming and versioning guidelines.
* specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently.
* summary is OK.
X description could use a bit of grammar work.
* dist tag is present.
* build root is OK.
* license field matches the actual license.
* license is open source-compatible.
* license text included in package.
* BuildRequires are proper.
* compiler flags are appropriate.
* %clean is present.
* package builds in mock (rawhide, x86_64).
* package installs properly.
* debuginfo package looks complete.
* rpmlint is silent.
X final provides and requires:

  libgarmin-0-0.5.20090212svn.fc11.x86_64.rpm
   libgarmin = 0-0.5.20090212svn.fc11
   libgarmin(x86-64) = 0-0.5.20090212svn.fc11
  =
   (none)

  libgarmin-devel-0-0.5.20090212svn.fc11.x86_64.rpm
   pkgconfig(libgarmin) = 0.1
   libgarmin-devel = 0-0.5.20090212svn.fc11
   libgarmin-devel(x86-64) = 0-0.5.20090212svn.fc11
X  needs libgarmin-static 
  =
   /usr/bin/pkg-config
   libgarmin = 0-0.5.20090212svn.fc11
   pkgconfig

* no shared libraries are added to the regular linker search paths.
* owns the directories it creates.
* doesn't own any directories it shouldn't.
X duplicates in %files.
* file permissions are appropriate.
* no generically named files
* code, not content.
* documentation is small, so no -doc subpackage is necessary.
* %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package.
* headers are in the -devel package.
* pkgconfig files are in the -devel package; pkgconfig dependency is present.
X static libraries are in the -devel package, but there is no -static provide.
* no libtool .la files.

The package review process needs reviewers!  If you haven't done any package
reviews recently, please consider doing one.
