Description Michel Lind 2014-01-20 07:27:08 UTC
Spec URL: http://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/ocaml/ocaml-easy-format.spec
SRPM URL: http://salimma.fedorapeople.org/specs/ocaml/ocaml-easy-format-1.0.2-1.fc20.src.rpm
Description: 
This module offers a high-level and functional interface to the Format
module of the OCaml standard library. It is a pretty-printing
facility, i.e. it takes as input some code represented as a tree and
formats this code into the most visually satisfying result, breaking
and indenting lines of code where appropriate.

Input data must be first modelled and converted into a tree using 3
kinds of nodes:

    atoms
    lists
    labelled nodes

Atoms represent any text that is guaranteed to be printed as-is. Lists
can model any sequence of items such as arrays of data or lists of
definitions that are labelled with something like "int main", "let x
=" or "x:".

Comment 1 Jerry James 2014-01-20 16:43:01 UTC
I will take this one.  Would you mind reviewing bug 1021017 in exchange?

Comment 2 Jerry James 2014-01-20 19:01:09 UTC
Issues, in no particular order:

1) These lines at the top of the spec file:

   %global debug_package %{nil}
   %global _use_internal_dependency_generator 0
   %global __find_requires /usr/lib/rpm/ocaml-find-requires.sh
   %global __find_provides /usr/lib/rpm/ocaml-find-provides.sh

   should all be removed.  The first is not necessary starting in Fedora
   19, and was actively removed from ocaml packages in Fedora 20 (see
   https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-September/189247.html).
   The last three lines have not been needed for a very long time; I
   don't remember now when they became unnecessary, but it was prior to
   Fedora 19.  Also, the strip invocation in %install should be removed,
   and we need to figure out how to add -g to the compiler flags,
   probably with something like this in %prep:

   sed -i 's/ocamlopt/ocamlopt -g/;s/ocamlc \(-[co]\)/ocamlc -g \1/' Makefile

2) The build seems to need ocaml-findlib only, not ocaml-findlib-devel;
   i.e., the ocamlfind tool is used, but I don't see any use of the
   ocaml-findlib library in the source code.

3) Not all architectures support ocaml.  Add this to your spec file:

   ExclusiveArch: %{ocaml_arches}

4) There is no need to build the bytecode version for architectures that
   support native code.  I suggest changing the make invocation to this,
   without the leading "make":

   %if %opt
   make %{?_smp_mflags} opt
   %else
   make %{?_smp_mflags}
   %endif

5) Since the packages are arch-specific, the dependency from the -devel
   subpackage to the main package should include %{?_isa}.

6) Consider adding a %check section.  The "make test" invocation just
   creates output files without checking them for correctness, so that's
   not sufficient, unless you are just testing for crashes, or the like.
   There may not be a reasonable test to run.  I will leave this to your
   disgression.

7) The description contains two British English spellings, as noted by
   the spell checker (see below).  American English uses only one 'l'
   where British English uses two in "modeled" and "labeled".

8) The line:

   rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

   at the top of %install is not needed in Fedora.  The versions of RPM
   in all supported Fedora releases do this already.  (If you are
   thinking of building the package for EPEL, that's another story.)

9) Rpmlint complains about %define libname.  I understand that you can't
   use %global at that location, since %{name} hasn't been defined yet.
   One solution to that is to use %global, but move the definition
   farther down in the spec file, perhaps just above %description.

     Guidelines.
[x]: License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
[x]: License file installed when any subpackage combination is installed.
[!]: %build honors applicable compiler flags or justifies otherwise.

[-]: Package contains systemd file(s) if in need.
[!]: Useful -debuginfo package or justification otherwise.
     See issue #1 above.
[!]: Package is not known to require an ExcludeArch tag.
     This is missing.  See issue #3 above.

[!]: %check is present and all tests pass.
     See issue #6 above.

Aha, thanks! As it turns out the debug_package nullification is still needed when ocamlopt is not present (tested by overriding opt to 0) so I've if-guarded it.

That line works, thanks. As for the dependency generator, wow, someone needs to update those templates.

Yes, works fine once I depended only on ocaml-findlib.

I've modified it since upstream's Makefile is a bit unusual (the default target invoked 'all' and 'opt' -- the latter is a no-op that just creates a marker to tell make install to copy additional files). so the non-optimizing case just calls make all (this way, I can test building non-ocamlopt builds even on my x86_64 mock environment)

Added (again, the newspec template... sigh)

I'm using upstream's test suite for now, even though it's incomplete.

Good idea, thanks.

Hmmm, that's a good point.  I don't think that was done during the mass enabling of debuginfo for ocaml packages.  Maybe we don't currently have any architectures that support byte-code-only ocaml, so nobody has noticed?

Agreed.  I'll see if I can poke somebody to do that.

You handled all of the issues I brought up, and a re-review did not turn up any new issues, so this package is APPROVED.
