Adrien, is this your first package? I can't find you in the Fedora Account
System. If so, you have to be sponsored to become a packager (see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join). To find one, add
FE-NEEDSPONSOR to the Blocks field above.

A couple of quick comments on your package:

- The summary should not mention the package name. Simply replace it by "A
simple utility for creating and reading constant data bases"


- According to the source code headers and the website, TinyCDB is Public
Domain software, so change the license from "GPL" to "Public Domain".

- Add short comments above Patch0 and Patch1 describing what they do

- The lines of the description text should not exceed 80 characters. Split them
properly.

- File libcdb.so must be placed in the devel package.

- You must call ldconfig in %post and %postun (see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Shared_Libraries)

- Replace the man page suffixes ".gz" with "*", e.g. %{_mandir}/man1/cdb.1*
since packages shouldn't rely on a specific compression format.

- The version/revision number is missing in the changelog entry:
* Sun Mar 14 2010 Adrien Bustany <abustany at gnome.org> - 0.77-1
