Description Marcin Zajaczkowski 2015-06-09 21:44:33 UTC
Spec URL: https://github.com/szpak/network-manager-sstp/blob/a65a4335f1a7d6a7f47ed6dede2c6cbf5b112f05/NetworkManager-sstp.spec
SRPM URL: http://timeoff.wsisiz.edu.pl/rpms/NetworkManager-sstp/NetworkManager-sstp-0.9.10-3.fc21.src.rpm
Description: This package contains software for integrating VPN capabilities with the SSTP server with NetworkManager.
Fedora Account System Username: szpak

SPEC file for that package was taken by the project author from a sister project NetworkManager-pptp which is already packaged in Fedora. I have done minor modifications and removed all rpmlint warnings. 

I'm already a maintainer of a few Fedora packages.

Comment 1 Marcin Zajaczkowski 2015-06-24 22:05:32 UTC
I did a self-review with fedora-review and fixed one issue (not detected by rpmlint) to use %license macro for license files instead of %doc.

As spotted by Jirka Klimes URL in a spec file pointed to NetworkManager itself which makes it harder to find the plugin project itself. I changed URL respectively.

Btw, trying to use fedora-review I discovered that for tools it could be better to use raw version of the file instead of HTML page.

Spec URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/szpak/network-manager-sstp/39e4923e3677822d29b9caf9281a74ca03466730/NetworkManager-sstp.spec
SRPM URL: http://timeoff.wsisiz.edu.pl/rpms/NetworkManager-sstp/NetworkManager-sstp-0.9.10-5.fc21.src.rpm

Comment 2 Christopher Meng 2015-08-26 00:46:03 UTC
I intended to submit this by myself since I'm the maintainer of sstp-client in Fedora.

I'm not sure what I will do now, because there are always some people trying to submit packages after a dep of it is packaged by myself.  :(

Comment 3 Marcin Zajaczkowski 2015-08-26 08:01:11 UTC
You can always become a co-maintainer of NetworkManager-sstp and have the another package to (co-)maintain :).

Comment 4 Christopher Meng 2015-09-15 13:12:56 UTC
(In reply to Marcin Zajaczkowski from comment #3)

I will give up ;)

1. Ignore `Installation errors`, since it's something wrong in system-wide, not this package.

2. Fix all [!] items.

3. Drop changelog not from you. ALSO, leave a blank for each changelog entry.

4. Epoch:     1

This doesn't make sense at all.

If you submit something to Fedora, could you copy the spec form others wholesale?

5. Drop all Group tags.

6. 
```
BuildRequires: gtk3-devel
BuildRequires: dbus-devel
BuildRequires: NetworkManager-devel >= 0.9.10
BuildRequires: NetworkManager-glib-devel
BuildRequires: sstp-client-devel

BuildRequires: ppp-devel
BuildRequires: libtool intltool gettext

Requires: gtk3
Requires: dbus
Requires: NetworkManager >= 0.9.10
Requires: sstp-client
Requires: ppp
Requires: shared-mime-info
Requires: gnome-keyring
```

RPM is not dumb like past, drop eplicit requires unless RPM can't detect and pull in.

Plus, the people who wrote the spec put wrong requires of gnome-specific to main package, dependency mess of course.

7. %if 0%{?fedora} > 17

Well, are we in the same contemporary fedora lifecycle?

8. Requires: ppp

Not enough, once ppp bumps the version, this plugin will be broken.

9. %setup -q -n %{name}-%{version}

->

%setup -q

10. 

if [ ! -f configure ]; then
  ./autogen.sh
fi

Well, if you want to make autogen work, you at least need to BR autoconf automake libtool. Instead of getting packaging complex and overcomplicated, please drop it.

11. %description -n NetworkManager-sstp-gnome
This package contains software for integrating VPN capabilities with
the SSTP server with NetworkManager (GNOME files).

Please rework the description, `with...with...` sounds redundant and not grammatical.

AGAIN, if you submit something to Fedora, could you copy the spec form others wholesale?

Not clear in the comment. Finished the review from phone, results generated from remote server. ;)

> could you copy the spec form others wholesale?

Should be:

Would you stop copying the spec form others wholesale?

------------------------------
Nevermind, fix above issues, I will review again.

Comment 6 Göran Uddeborg 2016-02-02 19:32:02 UTC
This seems to have fallen asleep.  Do you still have the ambition to package NetworkManager-sstp for Fedora?

Comment 7 Marcin Zajaczkowski 2016-02-02 21:39:44 UTC
Thanks Goran for the reminder. And big thanks Christopher for the review! This weekend I will be at DevConf.cz and (drawing from the vibe) will try to move it forward.

Comment 8 Marcin Zajaczkowski 2016-02-04 22:48:18 UTC
IT took me a while, but I was able to manage it

> [!]: Buildroot is not present

Removed

> [!]: Package should not use obsolete m4 macros
>     Note: Some obsoleted macros found, see the attachment.
> AC_PROG_LIBTOOL found in: NetworkManager-sstp-0.9.10/configure.ac:17

I can ask the project author to replace it with LT_INIT by the next version. Do you see it as a blocker and I need to create a patch?

> 3. Drop changelog not from you. ALSO, leave a blank for each changelog entry.

I'm not convinced to drop the old changelog entries. There is a history how the package evolved before it became a part of Fedora. In many packages available in Fedora there is that history kept.

> 4. Epoch:     1
> This doesn't make sense at all.

The original specification author took it for unknown reasons. The benefit of using it would be an ability to upgrade to the never version when available in Fedora (in other case it would have to be done manually by removing old package). Nevertheless you think it would be a good move I can remove it.

> 5. Drop all Group tags.

Done

> 6. RPM is not dumb like past, drop eplicit requires unless RPM can't detect and pull in.

I was able to remove NetworkManager-devel from BuildRequires and gtk3 from Requires. Looking at the generated requires maybe also dbus could be removed from Requires as there is a reference to libdbus-1.so.3, but dbus-libs in theory could be installed without a dbus package.

> 7. %if 0%{?fedora} > 17

Done

> 8. Requires: ppp
> Not enough, once ppp bumps the version, this plugin will be broken.

I changed the minimal ppp version to 2.4.6. In Fedora 23 there is 2.4.7 and it seems to work fine. Do you suggest to set 2.4.7 as the highest allowed version? I don't if changes in 2.4.8 will be compatible with sstp plugin or not, but maybe it is too strict constraint?

> 9. %setup -q -n %{name}-%{version}
> 10. if [ ! -f configure ]; then

Done

> Would you stop copying the spec form others wholesale?

I could do it from scratch, but it seemed a better solution for me to reuse existing spec file for a sibling project which is already in Fedora (which should be quite ok as it passed the initial review - in hindsight I see that the pptp package is quite old (2007) and could stand our from the current standards).

>> This package contains software for integrating VPN capabilities with the SSTP server with NetworkManager (GNOME files).
> Please rework the description, `with...with...` sounds redundant and not grammatical.

The description is exactly the same in all NetworkManager-*-gnome I've seen. Nevertheless I changes it to:
> This package contains software for integrating VPN capabilities using the SSTP server with NetworkManager (GNOME files).

English is not my mother tongue, so please propose something else if you don't like it.

Comment 9 Marcin Zajaczkowski 2016-02-04 22:55:48 UTC
Regarding AC_PROG_LIBTOOL I disabled using autogen.sh, so the only thing I can do is to report it upstream.

Comment 10 Lubomir Rintel 2016-04-16 18:13:06 UTC
This review seems stalled on Reviewer.

I'm now formally asking the reviewer to continue the review.

Comment 11 Lubomir Rintel 2016-04-23 15:11:54 UTC
*Sponsor hat on*
No response from the reviewer.

Thanks for packaging this. The package now addresses all points risen in review and looks good.

APPROVED

Please note that there has been many updates for the plugin for NetworkManager 1.2 that's in Fedora 24. I asked the upstream to do a 1.2.0 release and they will probably do that anytime soon
