Description Tom "spot" Callaway 2015-10-09 18:47:15 UTC

Spec URL: https://spot.fedorapeople.org/nacl-newlib.spec
SRPM URL: https://spot.fedorapeople.org/nacl-newlib-2.1.0-8.git8c4da47.fc23.src.rpm
Description: 
Newlib is a C library intended for use on embedded systems. It is a
conglomeration of several library parts, all under free software licenses
that make them easily usable on embedded products. This is the nacl fork.
Fedora Account System Username: spot

This is the nacl build of the newlib library. The resulting binaries are specific to the nacl target and do not generate useful debuginfo on the x86_64 linux target platform. This package is needed to build the full nacl-gcc package (without bootstrap) and thus, Chromium.

Comment 1 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2016-03-17 02:35:44 UTC

OK, nacl-newlib forms a cycle with nacl-gcc. But there's a bootstrap mechanism.

Comment 2 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2016-03-24 14:44:02 UTC

rpmlint | grep -v devel-file-in-non-devel-package:

Looks OK.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why don't you use a direct URL for sources:

%global commit 784956835fd318fa64e513ead7774d897386a7be
%global shortcommit %(c=%{commit}; echo ${c:0:7})
Source0: https://chromium.googlesource.com/native_client/nacl-newlib/+archive/%{commit}.tar.gz#/nacl-newlib-%{shortcommit}.tar.gz

Now I see that this would only work for Source0, and not other Sources. Too bad.

Have you though about putting the chromium tarball as Source1 and doing the extraction of the missing header files in %prep? Seems like that would be easier to automate, and that tarball will be in dist-git cache anyway.


Some of the header files are "BSD with advertising". Shouldn't this be included in License tag?
/usr/x86_64-nacl/include/grp.h: BSD (4 clause)
/usr/x86_64-nacl/include/pwd.h: BSD (4 clause)
/usr/x86_64-nacl/include/ar.h: BSD (4 clause)
/usr/x86_64-nacl/include/unctrl.h: BSD (4 clause)
/usr/x86_64-nacl/include/ar.h: BSD (4 clause)

/usr/x86_64-nacl/include/sys/syslimits.h: BSD (4 clause)
/usr/x86_64-nacl/include/unctrl.h: BSD (4 clause)


+ license is OK
- License files are missing. Doesn't matter too much for the BSD-licensed stuff, but for LGPL it would be nice to add the license file.
+ rpmlint has nothing useful to say
+ no file conflicts
+ no scriptlets present or necessary
+ builds and installs OK, nacl-gcc builds fine with it
+ provides/requires look sane

I'll go ahead with the approval. There are some cleanups which could be done, but the only really important parts are that a) it doesn't break other things, b) it works for the purpose of building nacl-gcc and other dependent packages. 

Package is APPROVED.

This bug was accidentally moved from POST to MODIFIED via an error in automation, please see mmccune with any questions
