--- Comment #3 from Patrick Monnerat <pm at datasphere.ch> 2011-08-03 09:36:53 EDT ---
Thanks for the partial review. Here are the new links:
SPEC: http://monnerat.fedorapeople.org/libpki.spec
SRPMS: http://monnerat.fedorapeople.org/libpki-0.6.5-2.fc14.src.rpm

Last changelog:
* Fri Jul 22 2011 Patrick Monnerat <pm at datasphere.ch> 0.6.5-2
- Patch "pkgconfig" to fix pkg-config configuration file.
- Sub-package "tools" for binary utilities.
- libxml2-devel dependence added to devel sub-package.
- "rpmbuild ... --without doc" is now recognized.

rpmlint unchanged, except tools related messages issued by new tools
sub-package instead of -devel.

Thanks for the %bcond_without trick: I did not know it.

%post and %postun scriptlets: WONTFIX. I agree with you it should be done this
way, but this is an RPM problem. I tried "-p", but it does not work unless the
next lines are empty until the next '%xxx' paragraph. I also tried %macros, but
they are not substituted inside a scriptlet. Since the current solution works
perfectly (though requiring /bin/sh which is always already present), I keep it
unchanged to preserve my RPM comments: those improve a lot the readbility. RPM
should provide a dummy "%endOfScript" paragraph or a comment escape scriptlet
option to resolve this problem, but this is not the topic of this review
request :-/

There are still upstream problems with this package (i.e.: soname): I'm in
contact with the upstream project maintainer about them.

Thanks again Michael for your work on it.
