[FWIW: I have a spec for xbmc of my own, but do not indent to publish it for
several, different reasons. The comments below are based on what I am observing
without having looked into your package.]
Note that XBMC is a big package, the SRPM is 135 MB (although the
binary is
only 32 MB).
Much of the size stems from upstream including windows and osx
binaries.
I'd recommend to prune them from their tarball.
1. The first issue (as revealed in the rpmlint log, below) is that
xbmc
installs no-arch independent code in /usr/share/xbmc/. We probably need
s/need/MUST/
No go without having this fixed.
to
work with upstream to see how best to relocate these binaries to /usr/lib{64}/.
I
have a patch addressing this issue. But am not yet sure my patch is complete,
because there are several places in xbmc which have /usr/share hard-wired.
The non-executable script messages result from plugins .py files
that are run
from within xbmc, but not by users, I believe.
# rpmlint xbmc-9.11-3.fc12.src.rpm
xbmc.src: W: no-cleaning-of-buildroot %clean
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.
Only just noticed this warning after the upload: will fix in next iteration.
There are other majors issues I am aware about:
* the spyce stuff is outdated and breaks with python-2.6 (Earlier versions of
my spec failed to build in mock because of this - I have a patch, I grabbed
somewhere on the net.)
* parts of xbmc don't acknowledge RPM_OPT_FLAGS
* Lack of DESTDIR support.
