Description Dave Love 2014-06-10 16:25:59 UTC
Spec URL: http://arc.liv.ac.uk/downloads/misc/SPECS/dl_poly.spec
SRPM URL: http://arc.liv.ac.uk/downloads/misc/SRPMS/dl_poly-1.9.20140324-1.el6.src.rpm
Description: 
DL_POLY Classic is a general purpose molecular dynamics simulation
package developed at Daresbury Laboratory by W. Smith, T.R. Forester
and I.T. Todorov.  It is based on the package DL_POLY_2, which was
originally developed by the Computational Chemistry Group, (CCG) at
Daresbury Laboratory under the auspices of the Engineering and
Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for (CCP5), the EPSRC's
Collaborative Computational Project for the Computer Simulation of
Condensed Phases.

DL_POLY Classic can be executed as a serial or a parallel application.
The code achieves parallelisation using the Replicated Data strategy
which is suitable for homogeneous, distributed-memory, parallel
computers.  The code is useful for simulations of up to 30,000 atoms
with good parallel performance on up to 100 processors, though in some
circumstances it can exceed or fail to reach these limits.

(from an srpm with only cosmetic differences)

I'm waiting for sponsorship, but thought I'd put this in for review to make sure
I've DTRT with an MPI package.

Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2014-07-18 21:18:10 UTC
I'll take this.  Looks like the proper SRPM link is http://arc.liv.ac.uk/downloads/misc/SRPMS/dl_poly-1.9.20140324-1.src.rpm

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2014-07-18 22:24:01 UTC
The spec in the url is different from the src.rpm.  Please sync up.

Take a look at the java guidelines, you're missing some stuff there (requries jpackage-utils, 

- Large documentation must go in a -doc subpackage. Large could be size (~1MB)
  or number of files.
  Note: Documentation size is 3143680 bytes in 7 files.
  See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#PackageDocumentation

- drop %defattr()

- Are you targeting EL5?  If not, you can also drop %clean and the rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT in %install

- I would consistently use the %{} form of macros for file paths.

Comment 3 Dave Love 2014-07-27 22:06:34 UTC
(In reply to Orion Poplawski from comment #2)
> The spec in the url is different from the src.rpm.  Please sync up.

Sorry, I'd forgotten to update this after I got fedorapeople space.
I've put new versions at

https://loveshack.fedorapeople.org/review/dl_poly-1.9.20140324-2.el6.src.rpm
https://loveshack.fedorapeople.org/review/dl_poly.spec

> Take a look at the java guidelines, you're missing some stuff there

I studied them, but I thought that got added automatically; clearly it
doesn't, at least in RH6.  I've added it.

I thought the pdfs were a lot smaller than that -- I wonder why.  Anyway,
I added a doc package (common to the gui and other packages).

> - drop %defattr()
> 
> - Are you targeting EL5?  

Yes.  (That's what most of our users are still running it on.)

I've changed them, but it's more painful to type, and doesn't seem to be
required by any guidelines I can see.  Do you need to do the same with
shell variables?

Comment 4 Orion Poplawski 2014-12-09 04:39:43 UTC
Sorry for dropping the ball on this.  In the meantime, mpich 3 has replace mpich2 in EL6, so that will need to be updated. 

The %{}/${} thing is stylistic and up to you.  I'm just giving you my suggestion.

Comment 5 Dave Love 2014-12-11 12:41:35 UTC
Yes, I'd spotted the RHEL6.6 MPI disaster area...  There's a previous build for it
under http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/loveshack/livhpc/build/60827/ but I'd
forgotten to sort out EPEL5.  I've dropped EPEL5 for now due to something having
apparently changed with debug packaging I don't understand.  The new version is
https://loveshack.fedorapeople.org/review/dl_poly-1.9.20140324-4.el6.src.rpm
but http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/loveshack/livhpc/build/63266/ is taking
its time to start.

It's not worth spending time on without sponsorship, though.

Comment 6 Orion Poplawski 2014-12-11 18:35:30 UTC
I'll sponsor you.  I'll try to look at the new version soon.

Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated
[ ] = Manual review needed


Issues:
=======
- Bundled jar/class files should be removed before build
  Note: Jar files in source (see attachment)
  See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java#Pre-
  built_JAR_files_.2F_Other_bundled_software'


While GUI.jar is being built, we like to see all jar files explicitly removed first in %prep.

- Drop %defattr(), no even needed in EL5.

- Need to use %optflags in build.
- Last changelog entry has name "root"
- GUI needs a .desktop file
- Use %{?_isa} in Requires.
-      Note: Invalid buildroot found:
     %{_tmppath}/%name-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
     See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#BuildRoot_tag
- I don't think you need to duplicate the main description in all of the sub-packages
- Use %global

Done.  It was there through following the instructions to use the

Done (sigh).  That requirement seems particularly unfortunate for
high-performance numerical code.

Very odd.  Fixed, thanks.

Done as best I can tell.  I don't think I could find any instructions
originally.

Done, but could confuse a stupid person, since the packages I looked
at originally didn't have it, and I don't remember seeing it in the
instructions.

I don't understand why, but I've changed it to the preferred form.

I'm confused as I thought that's what I had done.

It's a pity fedora-review doesn't work in EPEL.

It could if there was a decision to change default ownership.  It's unneeded cruft in any case.  While it's in the /etc/rpmdevtools/spectemplate* files, rpmdev-newspec will remove it.  Or did you get a template from elsewhere?

You can add (some) options if you'd like.  In particular you're welcome to add "-ffast-math -funroll-loops".  I don't think anyone can rely on distro packages to get top performance though.

I don't see this done, so to be explicit:

Requires:	openmpi%{?_isa}
Requires:       mpich%{?_isa}

%define dobuild \
mkdir $MPI_COMPILER;\
make %{?_smp_mflags} build PAR=1 FFLAGS="-c %{optflags}" %{native};\
mv ../execute/DLPOLY.X $MPI_COMPILER/%{name}$MPI_SUFFIX

should be %global dobuild ...

> It's a pity fedora-review doesn't work in EPEL.

That is too bad.  Is there a bug filed against it?

It was from that via Emacs C-x C-f, but I realize it's an old version of devtools, but the latest that would install on RHEL6, since it's not in EPEL.

I think the rules say you need to ask for a special exception.
-funroll-loops really should be in default FFLAGS.

> I don't think anyone can rely on distro packages to get top performance though.

In some cases I hope you can, but I'd at least hope to be able to rebuild with, say, -march=native added to xFLAGS.

Apologies.  I was sure I had done it...

Oh, I see.  I think the build fragment was copied from the MPI instructions rather long ago; fixed.  I've modified some of the descriptions and summaries to be more in line with what I normally do now.

I don't remember.  I don't know whether it's even supposed to work.

In haste, but I hope I updated correctly this time in

Bother; wrong _isa qualifications stopped it installing.

Hmm, maybe that would be a good package for you to maintain EPEL :)

From https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Compiler_flags 

"Adding to and overriding or filtering parts of these flags is permitted if there's a good reason to do so; the rationale for doing so must be documented in the specfile."

So you're good to add them.  But I'd be very hesitant to remove any.

You're welcome to make the suggestion of adding -funroll-loops.

But the build computer is quite likely very different than the one the code will run on, so -march=native will just break things.

Package looks good now, so APPROVED.

Good.  I wonder if that's changed -- it's not how I remembered it.

I meant I'd hope to be able to take the srpm and rebuild it for the local cluster,
but that looks out of context here.

Many thanks.
