Description Paul Wouters 2021-05-26 21:02:29 UTC
Spec URL: https://download.nohats.ca/SFCGAL/SFCGAL.spec
SRPM URL: https://download.nohats.ca/SFCGAL/SFCGAL-1.3.10-1.fc34.src.rpm
Description: SFCGAL is a C++ wrapper library around CGAL with the aim of supporting
ISO 19107:2013 and OGC Simple Features Access 1.2 for 3D operations.

SFCGAL provides standard compliant geometry types and operations, that
can be accessed from its C or C++ APIs. PostGIS uses the C API, to
expose some SFCGAL's functions in spatial databases (cf. PostGIS
manual).

Geometry coordinates have an exact rational number representation and
can be either 2D or 3D.

Comment 1 Paul Wouters 2021-05-28 01:20:21 UTC
building this under mock actually takes a LOT of resources. On my 9th gen thinkpad with 16GB, it ran out of memory or cpu - I even tried with use_spawn = False. My entire machine became very unresponsive.

Perhaps I should add a -j4 to the spec file to limit the resources it can take during build because it does use 8 CPU's fully and for a sustained time.

Comment 2 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2021-05-29 15:51:03 UTC
 - It is preferred to split the BR one per line:

BuildRequires: boost-thread
BuildRequires: boost-system
BuildRequires: boost-date-time
BuildRequires: boost-serialization
BuildRequires: CGAL-devel
BuildRequires: cmake
BuildRequires: gcc-c++
BuildRequires: gmp-devel
BuildRequires: mpfr-devel

 - Are you sure you need 

BuildRequires: boost-thread
BuildRequires: boost-system
BuildRequires: boost-date-time
BuildRequires: boost-serialization

at build time? Shouldn't your BR boost-devel instead?

 - This shouldn't be in the description:

Note: W: shared-lib-calls-exit /usr/lib64/libSFCGAL.so.1.3.8 exit.5

 - In order to avoid unintentional and unannounced soname bump, we recommend not globbing the major soname version, be more specific instead:

%{_libdir}/libSFCGAL.so.1*

My tiny laptop is gonna suffer for the rest of the review.

Comment 3 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2021-05-29 16:03:49 UTC
That wasn't that bad.

 - There is no test:

+ /usr/bin/ctest --output-on-failure --force-new-ctest-process -j16
Test project /builddir/build/BUILD/SFCGAL-v1.3.10/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu
No tests were found!!!

You thus can drop %check 

 - Consider sending a patch upstream to fix this:

wrong-file-end-of-line-encoding /usr/share/doc/SFCGAL-devel/example/CGAL-polygon_triangulation2/main.cpp

Comment 4 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2021-05-29 16:19:24 UTC
I forgot to mention that you should split the documentation in a separate noarch -doc subpackage.

Comment 5 Paul Wouters 2021-05-30 19:57:32 UTC
I've pushed a -2:

Spec URL: https://download.nohats.ca/SFCGAL/SFCGAL.spec
SRPM URL: https://download.nohats.ca/SFCGAL/SFCGAL-1.3.10-2.fc34.src.rpm

- Removed %check section since there are no tests
- No longer include docs/ as it is mostly an AVI screen recording, and going to the github page is far more useful

Comment 7 Paul Wouters 2021-05-31 18:05:20 UTC
oops. sorry about that. I addressed those now:

SRPM URL: https://download.nohats.ca/SFCGAL/SFCGAL-1.3.10-3.fc33.src.rpm

Comment 8 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2021-06-01 09:20:31 UTC
Why did you remove the docs instead of creating a noarch doc subpackage?

Comment 9 Paul Wouters 2021-06-02 01:27:50 UTC
I had done it because the docs were very uninformative and the majority of the size was a pretty lame AVI file. I didn't think it warrants a sub package. But looking again, I realised the docs just need building and so now I've added the doxygen rendered html docs to the -devel package

Did you have a look at CFGAL and the issue there? It would be nice to resolve the bug you found there with a rebuild so that we could do this package without ExcludeArch: for arm.

Note I logged an upstream for the W: shared-lib-calls-exit /usr/lib64/libSFCGAL.so.1.3.8 exit.5. 
I do not understand where the exit() is coming from, as the source code surely does not call exit anywhere. See https://gitlab.com/Oslandia/SFCGAL/-/issues/246

Thanks for your patience :)

Comment 10 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2021-06-02 15:57:19 UTC
LGTM, I can't do anything about the bug, upstream need to solve it. Package is approved in the meantime. Don't forget to log a bug for your ExcludeArch, see https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_architecture_build_failures

Comment 11 Paul Wouters 2021-06-03 00:14:12 UTC
Thanks! I'll log the bug as soon as the package is available as component in rhbz. If you want to become co-maintainer, since you maintain CGAL, let me know. I'm also happy to help you co-maintain CGAL.

Comment 12 Gwyn Ciesla 2021-06-03 00:45:33 UTC
(fedscm-admin):  The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/SFCGAL

Comment 18 Laurent Rineau 2021-06-04 08:00:09 UTC
Indeed: I had planned to do that review, but then Robert-André took over with such an efficiency!

Paul, I can still be co-maintainer if you wish. SFCGAL has been a concern for the CGAL project for a while, because its code has been using undocumented code from CGAL, that kept changing (because CGAL project does not try to ensure any backward-compatibility for undocumented code). See the long list of issues related to CGAL: https://gitlab.com/Oslandia/SFCGAL/-/issues?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=all&search=%22CGAL%22

Comment 19 Paul Wouters 2021-06-07 01:26:55 UTC
sorry, yes we had talked about him doing the review and then the review was done and I had not yet recognised his name so I got confused :)
