combination.

Comment 1 Adam Huffman 2011-12-02 20:08:10 UTC
I will review this package

Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2011-12-21 13:39:30 UTC
Adam, will you get to this soon ?

Comment 3 Adam Huffman 2011-12-21 13:50:43 UTC

Comment 6 Adam Huffman 2011-12-23 17:02:28 UTC
1. Could you explain the extra_release tag, that doesn't seem to be referred to elsewhere in the spec?

2.  Most of the rpmlint errors are just spelling and can be ignored.  However, it would be nice to have manpages or other documentation - not that this is a reason to hold up the package.

3.  I'm assuming it depends upon too many new things to be suitable for EPEL5, so those warnings can be ignored.

4.  Could those %define statements be %global instead?  I've been led to believe %global is preferred now:  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#.25global_preferred_over_.25define

Comment 7 Daniel Berrangé 2012-01-03 12:15:17 UTC
1. The 'extra_release' tag enables creation of easy one-off test builds with unique nevr. This is common across most virt related RPMs in Fedora.

2. manpages are an RFE for a future upstream release

3. Yes, this isn't even suitable for EPEL6, due to requirement for gobject introspection support

4. Yes, we can likely use %global with no illeffects

Comment 8 Daniel Berrangé 2012-01-03 14:57:38 UTC
On closer examination I just removed the global macros, since there is no value in being able to disable introspection, and attempting to disable it would break the build of the -vala sub-RPM anyway.

Updated SPEC file at same URL as before

Comment 9 Adam Huffman 2012-01-04 11:28:10 UTC
Looks okay now, though I think it's a little odd that you have the directory /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/Libosinfo/, when everything else uses the name in all lower-case.

Is that deliberate?

Comment 10 Daniel Berrangé 2012-01-04 11:41:40 UTC
That docs naming is just what the upstream Makefile produces. I'll re-examine it for a future upstream release.

BTW, If you consider this approved, could you twiddle the fedora-review=+ flag on the BZ

Comment 11 Adam Huffman 2012-01-04 11:58:34 UTC
Just wanted to clarify that point first.
