           Summary: Review Request: sparkleshare - sharing work made easy
           Product: Fedora

          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux

Spec URL: http://www.alexhudson.com/stuff/sparkleshare/sparkleshare.spec
SRPM URL:
http://www.alexhudson.com/stuff/sparkleshare/sparkleshare-0.2.alpha2-5.fc13.src.rpm
Description: Easy file sharing based on git repositories. A special folder is
setup, and directories/files placed within are placed in a git-based version
control system and synchronized elsewhere.

The website for SparkleShare is at http://www.sparkleshare.org/

rpmlint for the spec and SRPM offers the same warning:

sparkleshare.src: W: invalid-url Source0:
http://alexh.fedorapeople.org/sources/sparkleshare-0.2.alpha2.tar.bz2 HTTP
Error 404: Not Found

Fair enough warning; there isn't a valid upstream tarball available yet. I'm
working on this and the beta release, coming within the next week, should have
this available.

rpmlint offers a further set of warnings on the binary RPM:

sparkleshare.x86_64: E: no-binary
sparkleshare.x86_64: W: only-non-binary-in-usr-lib

As I understand it, these messages can both be ignored, since this is a
Mono-based application and won't have binaries but also cannot be noarch.

I have built this under mock, and am making versions available on
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/alexh/sparkleshare/ - I intend for that
repo to track upstream more aggressively.

Known issues:

* the libraries are not installed into the GAC. They have no strong name yet,
so other applications should not be using them - so I consider this a future
issue to resolve rather than a critical bug;
* I've tweaked the version on the package slightly to make it compliant with
Fedora versioning. This has also been discussed with upstream, and future
releases will use a standard numbering that requires no tweaking;
* Source0 is incorrect (as mentioned above)
* debug_info is turned off for this. I'm not exactly sure what would go into
such a package; possibly the .mdb files - I'm still researching this?
