Like Tom Diehl in February last, I ran FC6's rpmlint (0.80-1) against my FC6 rpm and was taken aback at how many errors/warnings it spat out. Some were mine (like wrong directory structures and not separating development libs from the main package) and a couple were Jonathan's (like giving the dspam binary "funny" perms and making executables of the html template files).

I can finally live with what it now reports and the dspam package has been split up into main and development rpms. In accordance with LFH dspam's home is now in /var/lib (the rpm will move it there if it's in /var and the installer will be warned), the html "executables" have corrected perms, post and preun scriptlets have been revamped - and a deal more.

The rpms, an srpm and the new spec file are available at ftp://ipd50aa34e.speed.planet.nl/pub/FedoraFC6rpms/ as long as the machine is airborne (most of the time). In as much as RHAS5 is based on FC6, the srpm should build both on RHAS4 and RHAS5 as well as earlier/later FCs. The binary rpms should not be used on RHAS* or FC<6.

Best,
