Description Ville-Pekka Vainio 2016-07-15 19:02:44 UTC
Spec URL: https://vpv.fedorapeople.org/packages/foma.spec
SRPM URL: https://vpv.fedorapeople.org/packages/foma-0.9.18-0.1.git0fa48db.fc25.src.rpm

Description: Foma can be used for constructing finite-state automata and transducers.
It has support for many natural language processing applications such as
producing morphological analyzers. It is sufficiently generic to use for
a large number of purposes in addition to NLP. The foma interface is
similar to the Xerox xfst interface.

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

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


Issues:
=======
- Package uses either %{buildroot} or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
  Note: Using both %{buildroot} and $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
  See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#macros

- Please, move following lines under %install section

sed -i '/^prefix/c\prefix = %{buildroot}%{_prefix}' foma/Makefile
sed -i '/^libdir/c\libdir = %{buildroot}%{_libdir}' foma/Makefile

- License file is installed by base package only.
  'foma' and 'libfoma-devel' require 'libfoma', 'COPYING' and 'README' files
  can be provided by 'libfoma' only.

- Libraries and binary files are "No Full Relro"
  Binary files are "No PIE"

Please, fix compiler/linker flags according to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Harden_All_Packages

- Fix the 'unused-direct-shlib-dependency' warnings
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_Rpmlint_issues?rd=PackageMaintainers/Common_Rpmlint_Issues#unused-direct-shlib-dependency

Comment 2 Ville-Pekka Vainio 2018-08-11 17:29:47 UTC
It's been two years, but I'm back attempting to package foma. I believe I've addressed all of the issues pointed out in the review.

The new packages are here:
https://vpv.fedorapeople.org/packages/foma-2018/foma.spec
https://vpv.fedorapeople.org/packages/foma-2018/foma-0.9.18-0.1.git0fa48db.fc29.src.rpm

Comment 3 Ville-Pekka Vainio 2018-08-12 08:50:29 UTC
Reopening the report. Antonio, are you still interested in reviewing this one?

Comment 4 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-08-12 13:48:39 UTC
 - 
%post -n %{libname} -p /sbin/ldconfig
%postun -n %{libname} -p /sbin/ldconfig


This is not needed starting Fedora 28. Either remove it or use %ldconfig_scriptlets -n %{libname} if youplan to support F27.

 - %{_libdir}/%{libname}.so.*

New rule: don't glob the major soname version in order to avoid unintentional soname bump (https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/784)

 - Also replace the LDFLAGS with Fedora ones in foma/Makefile (%__global_ldflags)

Comment 5 Ville-Pekka Vainio 2018-08-26 17:52:01 UTC
- ldconfig calls removed, I only plan to have this in F28+
- soname globbing removed
- I used %{build_ldflags} as per https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/redhat-rpm-config/blob/master/f/buildflags.md

- Had some linking issues when working on the changes, but maybe I just had a typo in the spec, the package seems to link now.

SPEC: https://vpv.fedorapeople.org/packages/foma-2018/foma.spec
SRPM: https://vpv.fedorapeople.org/packages/foma-2018/foma-0.9.18-0.1.git0fa48db.fc30.src.rpm

Comment 6 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-08-26 21:04:38 UTC
 - Since you're packaging a dev snapshot you must include the snapshot date en Release:


%global commit0 0fa48dbacfe39509577ae6741054be7c05a19aac
%global shortcommit0 %(c=%{commit0}; echo ${c:0:7})
%global snapshotdate 20180826

%global libname libfoma

Name:           foma
Version:        0.9.18
Release:        0.1.%{snapshotdate}git%{shortcommit0}%{?dist}


 - Group: shouldn't be used in Fedora



Package otherwise approved. Please fix the above issues before import.

Comment 7 Ville-Pekka Vainio 2018-09-11 17:56:00 UTC
Thank you, Robert-André!
I've had a few busy weeks, I plan on finishing the packaging next weekend.

Comment 8 Ville-Pekka Vainio 2018-09-16 16:11:33 UTC
SPEC: https://vpv.fedorapeople.org/packages/foma-2018/foma.spec
SRPM: https://vpv.fedorapeople.org/packages/foma-2018/foma-0.9.18-0.1.20150613git0fa48db.fc29.src.rpm

I used the git commit date as the snapshot date, I think it's more informative to the users of the package. Will request the git module and branches now.
