* pck-update plugin
 [bug]      if the download fails, a HTML file is downloaded. See for instance:
            http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/inkscape/inkscape-0.44.tar.bz2
 [security] evaluation of `%define' directives could lead to security issues
            (the problem exists in the rpm itself)
 [bug]      '/usr/share/linuxdoc-tools/dist/linuxdoc-tools/info/mapping'
            should not be considered an info page
            hint: grep '/info/' is a broken test; the `file' tool cannot be used
                  because info pages are compressed
 [bug]      [silvan@buddha SPECS]$ autospec -u apt -a3 0.5.15cnc7
            aggiornamento del pacchetto apt alla versione 0.5.15cnc7...
            [step 3] -- dowload dei nuovi file sorgente
            [1] https://moin.conectiva.com.br/AptRpm/apt-0.5.15cnc7.tar.bz2
                --> /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES/apt-0.5.15cnc7.tar.bz2

            curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
            error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify
            failed
            More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

            curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
            of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). The default
            bundle is named curl-ca-bundle.crt; you can specify an alternate file
            using the --cacert option.
            If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
            the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
            problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
            not match the domain name in the URL).
            If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
            the -k (or --insecure) option.
            autospec: impossibile scaricare: `apt-0.5.15cnc7.tar.bz2'

            TRY USING THE CURL OPION "--no-check-certificate" (?) -- hint by Silvan Calarco

 [bug]      Il seguente comando:
               autospec -u bbpress -a1,5,10
            causa l'errore:
               ERROR: pacchetto non trovato:
               `/usr/src/RPM/RPMS/noarch/%sitename-website-}bbpress-0.8.2.1-2mamba.noarch.rpm'
            in fase di upload.
            Causa: parsing non corretto della riga (se "sitename" non è definito?)
               Name:          %{?sitename:%sitename-website-}bbpress
 [feature]  autoformat "make install" if lines are too long (like "configure")
 [feature]  action 8, test 4
            should check if `/usr/lib/libpopt.so' --> `libpopt.so.0.0.0' is a valid link
            should display a warning on broken symlinks
 [feature]  support the gpg signatures of rpm packages

* libspec
 [feature]  specfile.getvars(): missing implementation for `%ifarch' and `%ifdef'
 [feature]  add support for commands like:
               %{expand:%%define kernel_minor_version %(echo %version | cut -d. -f3)}

               example: lilo.spec
               %{!?latex_doc: %define latex_doc 1}
                  DEBUG: resolve_rpmvars: conditional block (%if) [level#1]  --  %if %latex_doc
                  DEBUG: resolve_boolexpr: boolean expression [ %latex_doc ]
                  DEBUG: resolve_boolexpr: expanding boolexpr using: name (lilo)
                  DEBUG: resolve_boolexpr: expanding boolexpr using: version (22.7)
                  DEBUG: resolve_boolexpr: boolexpr nullified -- [ %latex_doc ]
                  DEBUG: resolve_boolexpr: set: $1 = "%latex_doc", $2 = "", $3 = ""
                  expr: sintax error

               example nagios.spec
               %{!?EMBPERL: %define EMBPERL 0}
                  DEBUG: : set: $1 = "%{EMBPERL}", $2 = "", $3 = ""
                  expr: sintax error

* spec-create plugin
 [bug]      libmpcdec and http://www.directfb.org/download/DirectFB/DirectFB-0.9.22.tar.gz
            do not properly detect headers path
 [feature]  (python specfiles)
            in the `%install' block, just after the lines
               python setup.py install \
                  --root=%{buildroot} \
                  --install-headers=%{_includedir}/python \
                  --install-lib=%{_libdir}/site-python
            this command should be perhaps used
               python -O %{_libdir}/python%{pyver}/compileall.py \
                  %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/python%{pyver}/site-packages
            to optimize the python compiled code
 [feature]  check for non standard (/usr/lib) library files path
 [feature]  man pages should be splitted between main and devel packages
              o man1: User programs                       -- main
              o man2: System calls                        -- (kernel related --> not in standard packages)
              o man3: Library functions and subroutines   -- *** devel ***
              o man4: Special files                       -- (system --> not in standard packages)
              o man5: File formats                        -- main
              o man6: Games                               -- main
              o man7: Miscellaneous                       -- main (?)
              o man8: System administration               -- main

* missing english translation of `rpm4QiLinux-it-HOWTO', a tedious effort to
  translate a doc that nobody is going to actually read.
                                                     *** NEED EXTERNAL HELP ***
