Package Review Guidelines
This is a set of guidelines for Package Reviews. Note that a complete list of things to check for would be impossible, but every attempt has been made to make this document as comprehensive as possible. Reviewers and contributors (packagers) should use their best judgement whenever items are unclear, and if in doubt, ask on the https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/packaging.lists.fedoraproject.org/[Fedora packaging list] .
Package Review Process
Contributors and reviewers MUST follow the https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Review_Process/[Package Review Process], with the following exceptions:
FPC grants an explicit exemption from the process, as indicated https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging_Committee#Review_Process_Exemption_Procedure[here].
The package is being created so that multiple versions of the same package can coexist in the distribution (or coexist between EPEL and RHEL). The package MUST be properly named according to the xref:Naming.adoc#_multiple_packages_with_the_same_base_name[naming guidelines] and MUST NOT conflict with all other versions of the same package.
The package exists in both Fedora and RHEL, but the packager wants to ship it in EPEL under an alternative name (as required by https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#Policy[EPEL policy]) to provide a subpackage that exists in Fedora but does not exist (or is not shipped) in RHEL.
Things To Check On Review
There are many many things to check for a review. This list is provided to assist new reviewers in identifying areas that they should look for, but is by no means complete. Reviewers should use their own good judgement when reviewing packages. The items listed fall into two categories: *SHOULD* and *MUST*.
[[rpmlint]]*MUST*: rpmlint must be run on the source rpm and all binary rpms the build produces. The output should be posted in the review. See xref:index.adoc#_use_rpmlint[Packaging Guidelines: Use rpmlint] +
[[naming]] *MUST*: The package must be named according to the xref:Naming.adoc[Package Naming Guidelines] . +
[[spec-fie-name]] *MUST*: The spec file name must match the base package `+%{name}+`, in the format `+%{name}.spec+` unless your package has an exemption. See xref:index.adoc#_spec_file_naming[Packaging Guidelines: Spec File Naming] . +
[[packaging-guidelines]] *MUST*: The package must meet the xref:index.adoc[Packaging Guidelines] . +
[[approved-license]] *MUST*: The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the xref:LicensingGuidelines.adoc[Licensing Guidelines] . +
[[license-field]] *MUST*: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license. See xref:LicensingGuidelines.adoc#_valid_license_short_names[Licensing Guidelines: Valid License Short Names] +
[[license-file]] *MUST*: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the package must be included in `+%license+`. See xref:LicensingGuidelines.adoc#_license_text[Licensing Guidelines: License Text] +
[[spec-in-american-english]] *MUST*: The spec file must be written in American English. See xref:index.adoc#_summary_and_description[Packaging Guidelines: Summary and description] +
