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

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

It's mostly good. I found one or two nitpicks:

- Should this and other similar packages require golang which owns
  /usr/share/gocode/src?
- Shouldn't the release include snapshot information?
- rpmlint says there's a hidden file in the directories---I expect this is
  required, but please double check.

===== MUST items =====

Generic:
[X]: Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets
     other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging
     Guidelines.
[X]: License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
     Note: Checking patched sources after %prep for licenses. Licenses
     found: "Unknown or generated". 17 files have unknown license. Detailed
     output of licensecheck in /home/asinha/1648966-golang-github-
     pascaldekloe-goe/licensecheck.txt
[!]: Package must own all directories that it creates.
     Note: Directories without known owners: /usr/share/gocode/src,
     /usr/share/gocode

Should this golang module (and others in general) require golang which owns
/usr/share/gocode/src?

[!]: Package does not own files or directories owned by other packages.
     Note: Dirs in package are owned also by:
     /usr/share/gocode/src/github.com(golang)

[x]: Package uses nothing in %doc for runtime.
[x]: Package consistently uses macros (instead of hard-coded directory
     names).
[?]: Package is named according to the Package Naming Guidelines.

Upstream has never released a version, so the release field is fine, but since
it is a snapshot, should the release not include some snap information also?
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Versioning#Snapshots

[x]: Package does not generate any conflict.
[x]: Package obeys FHS, except libexecdir and /usr/target.
[-]: If the package is a rename of another package, proper Obsoletes and

     (~1MB) or number of files.
     Note: Documentation size is 10240 bytes in 1 files.
[x]: Package complies to the Packaging Guidelines
[x]: Package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at least
     one supported primary architecture.
[x]: Package installs properly.
[x]: Rpmlint is run on all rpms the build produces.
     Note: There are rpmlint messages (see attachment).
[x]: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the

- Should this and other similar packages require golang which owns
  /usr/share/gocode/src?

I don't think so.

- Shouldn't the release include snapshot information?

It's computed automatically in dist by the gometa macro

- rpmlint says there's a hidden file in the directories---I expect this is
  required, but please double check.

It's the .goipath file, which is required.

(In reply to Robert-André Mauchin from comment #2)

Based on my understanding of the guidelines, I think they should either require the golang package, or own the directory themselves. This is what the guidelines say:

"Packages must own all directories they put files in, except for:

- any directories owned by the filesystem, man, or other explicitly created -filesystem packages
- any directories owned by other packages in your package's natural dependency chain"

So, here, since this package doesn't require golang explicitly and doesn't pull it in as a natural dependency either (not listed in requires as generated by fedora-review above), `/usr/share/gocode/src` (and /usr/share/gocode) is currently unowned. So when this package is removed, for example, this directory will get left behind. 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#File_and_Directory_Ownership

I'm not a golang user, but isn't golang required to use this package anyway? If it isn't, it is this case:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#The_directory_is_owned_by_a_package_which_is_not_required_for_your_package_to_function

If it is, then it's this one: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#The_directory_is_also_owned_by_a_package_implementing_required_functionality_of_your_package

Either way, the two directories need to be owned here.

Ah, right. So many go marcos now, doing so many fancy things!

I thought so.

Comment 4 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-11-13 11:45:15 UTC
In golang we have:

# ensure directory ownership, so they are cleaned up if empty
%dir %{gopath}
%dir %{gopath}/src
%dir %{gopath}/src/github.com/
%dir %{gopath}/src/bitbucket.org/
%dir %{gopath}/src/code.google.com/
%dir %{gopath}/src/code.google.com/p/
%dir %{gopath}/src/golang.org
%dir %{gopath}/src/golang.org/x

so they ane owned and removed when clean. I don't think we want to start have all Golang libraries depends on the compiler, this would be problematic, like if removing GCC would remove all your C devel packages. It's implicit that if you have a Golang devel package, you'll have Golang installed too, but we don't want to make that a hard dependencies.

Comment 5 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2018-11-13 12:09:57 UTC
Sure, then it's this case, and the package must (co-)own the directories too: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#The_directory_is_owned_by_a_package_which_is_not_required_for_your_package_to_function

There should not be a situation where removing this package leaves those directories---and the implicit dependence on the golang package does not guarantee that.

Comment 7 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2018-11-13 14:20:51 UTC
You may also need a %dir %{gopath} in there for "/usr/share/gocode" which is also the same case. Please add that before importing.
