--- Comment #1 from Golo Fuchert <packages at golotop.de> 2011-09-18 07:02:29 EDT ---
Hej Jussi,

almost nothing to complain about!
Here is the formal review:

$ rpmlint RPMS/x86_64/lis-1.2.53-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm SPECS/lis.spec
SRPMS/lis-1.2.53-1.fc15.src.rpm 
lis.x86_64: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US scalable -> salable,
callable, calculable
lis.x86_64: W: shared-lib-calls-exit /usr/lib64/liblis.so.0.0.0
exit at GLIBC_2.2.5
lis.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US scalable -> salable, callable,
calculable
2 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 3 warnings.

No blocker here, upstream could be asked if the shared-lib-calls-exit is
intended

---------------------------------

$ md5sum lis-1.2.53.tar.gz.*
275597239e7c47ab5aadeee7b7e2c6ce  lis-1.2.53.tar.gz.packaged

[+] MUST: The package MUST successfully compile and build into binary rpms on
at least one primary architecture.

[+] MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires.
[.] MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly.
[+] MUST: Packages storing shared library files (not just symlinks) must call

[+] MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly.
[+] MUST: Each package must consistently use macros.
[+] MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content.
[+] MUST: Large documentation files must go in a -doc subpackage.
 Man, that is a documentation-wonderland! Kudos to upstream...
[+] MUST: Files in %doc must not affect the runtime of the application.
[+] MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package.
[.] MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package.
[+] MUST: unversioned library file (*.so)  must go in the -devel package.
[+] MUST: devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned
dependency
[+] MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives.

[+] MUST: All file names in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8.

[.] SHOULD: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a
separate file ...
[+] SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
[+] SHOULD: The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all
supported architectures.
[.] SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base
package using a fully versioned dependency.
[.] SHOULD: pkgconfig(.pc) should be placed in a -devel pkg. 
[.] SHOULD: If the package has file dependencies outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin,
/usr/bin, or /usr/sbin consider requiring the package which provides the file
instead of the file itself.
[.] SHOULD: your package should contain man pages for binaries/scripts. 

----------------

Comments: The -doc subpackage does not require the base package. This is of
  course not needed. However, since the pdf's packaged in the doc subpackage
  are from the source tarball, I would assume that they also fall under the
  same license.
  Then the doc subpackage should either require the base package or contain
  a copy of the license file:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#Subpackage_Licensing
  So please apply one of those options or prove me wrong. ;-)

Package APPROVED
