+
+
+I also found some others :
+* bogus-variable-use-in-%posttrans
+ia_ora-gnome.i586: W: bogus-variable-use-in-%posttrans $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
+
+this one is clearly a bug.
+
+* no-url-tag
+while not blocking, I see no good reason for that.
+
+* non-standard-dir-in-usr
+inn.i586: W: non-standard-dir-in-usr com
+
+no really compliant with FHS, but on the other hand, inn seems complex
+to use and fix ...
+
+* self-obsoletion
+lots of package obsoletes themself ( or just one of their provides ).
+While the goal was to rename them, this should be done with proper
+versionning ( ie Obsoletes: foo < X ), as some upstream have changed
+their mind, or some software can reuse the name. Most specs are just
+wrong on that point, and should be corrected. ( so in the 2nd list ).
+
+*  use-tmp-in-%postun
+this one is likely a security problem. Look at ipxutils script to see
+what I mean.
+
+* statically-linked-binary
+While there is some case for static binary, this one is clearly wrong :
+
+statically-linked-binary /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/ibus-engine-pinyin.debug
+
+So I would add that one to the 3rd list of the previous mail. 
+
+
+* spurious-executable-perm
+file in %doc and manpages should not be executable. And so this errors
+( if I am not wrong ) should block upload. Yet I am not sure, so let's
+add to the 2nd list ( discuss and then act ).
+
+* update-menus-without-menu-file-in-%postun
+AFAIK, menu is deprecated in favor of freedesktop menu. So there is
+clearly something wrong ( from icewm-light )
+
+( watch for the 3rd mail, as I have done only half of the rpm for now )
