All of this commit log is not appropriate. It should just be:

reiserfsprogs: new package

and pretty much nothing else, except if you have other comments to add
about the package. Remember that the commit log stays forever in the
Git history of the project, so we don't need the "All, Attached is a
patch ....".

I am not sure your patch has been formatted using Git. Please use "git
format-patch" to format your patch, and then "git send-email" to send
it.

Unnecessary empty line.

This dependency is not needed. reiserfsprogs doesn't use libblkid
directly.

Alphabetic ordering would be better.

Please remove all those sub-options, the size of each binary is not big
enough to justify having sub-options:

I don't think it is useful to have a host variant for reiserfsprogs,
except if you add support to generate a root filesystem image using
reiserfs. But since that's a separate effort, I would suggest to just
drop the host variant of the package for now.

Please use http:// instead of ftp://.

The license is not exactly GPLv2. It is, according to the README file:

"""
ReiserFSprogs is hereby licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2
but with the following "Anti-Plagiarism" modification
"""

So, you should probably use:

REISERFSPROGS_LICENSE = GPLv2 with exceptions

This line is not needed.

Alphabetic ordering is preferred.

All those lines are useless, there is nothing installed in
usr/local/sbin, everything is installed in usr/sbin. Also, as per my
suggestion to drop the sub-options, those lines are in fact not
necessary.

And drop this last line, since the host variant is probably not useful.

Thanks,
