https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2809 --- Comment #1 from Ken Dreyer <ktdreyer(a)ktdreyer.com&gt; 2013-05-22 17:04:32 CEST --- Welcome to RPM Fusion, and thanks for your submission. There are a couple things I'd like to note. The first thing to address is that ordinarily we ask people to host files at URLs that we can directly access, ie with curl or wget. Unfortunately Copy.com is prompting me to log into it in order to download your files. https://www.copy.com/s/GQzm9EKjKONZ/rpms/copy-agent.spec https://www.copy.com/browse/s/GQzm9EKjKONZ/rpms/copy-agent-1.28.0657-1.fc... To confirm, please run "curl -I" on those URLs, and you'll see the 302 Redirect to a login URL. Please try to make these files available for download directly. I did sign up with a throwaway account in order to look at your files. The second thing to note is that you should use the rpmlint tool to examine your RPMs, SRPM, and spec file. For example: $ rpmlint /tmp/copy-agent-1.28.0657-1.fc18.src.rpm copy-agent.src: E: no-changelogname-tag copy-agent.src: W: invalid-license NON-OSI-COMPLIANT copy-agent.src:18: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 7, tab: line 18) 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 2 warnings. This tool shows three things to fix. The third thing to address is whether or not Copy.com allows us to redistribute this tarball and associated files at all. I can find no information about a license or terms of distribution. Just because the files are hosted on the web somewhere doesn't mean we (as a third party) are allowed to distribute them, even in RPM Fusion's non-free repo. If we can't have written authorization to redistribute, we can't ship this in RPM Fusion. Do you have any links or emails from Copy.com demonstrating that RPM Fusion is allowed to redistribute this software? The fourth thing is that you'll likely want to remove the EL5 compatibility bits. RHEL 5 contains a very old version of RPM, so if you want to build on RHEL 5, you have to include some extra bits of code in your spec files. The two old bits I see in your .spec are "%defattr(-,root,root,-)" lines in %files and the BuildRoot: setting. Neither of these settings are necessary in EL6 or Fedora, so it makes sense to delete them. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have to admit that I did read them too carefully because I should really have picked that up. Pity because, from a conversation I had on twitter with them, they only plan to distribute a deb package at some point in the future. On a different matter: rpmlint for me returns no errors. I am running FC18 and rpmlint-1.4-11.fc18. Quite curious. Will follow through with your suggestions for me personal pleasure. Thanks for spending the time to look through it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

"You have Fedora users, and we want you to support us". Feel free to point them at this bug report. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
