Bug 225855

MUST Items: 

OK - rpmlint is clean
OK - follows Naming Guidelines
OK - spec file is named as %{name}.spec

xx - package does not meet Packaging Guidelines
    + Is it necessary to define multilib_arches?
    + Since the package no longer carries the library, it should not be
mentioned in the description.
    + Source0 does not conform to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL packaging/rpm/package.spec.in
and packaging/rpm/gphoto2.spec seem to have a non-functional URL. Upstream
should be informed about it.
    + The --enable-docs and --enable-lockdev options could not be found in
configure and configure.ac and look like remnants from libgphoto2.
    + Is --with-doc-dir really needed? Shouldn't it by
%{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version} instead of %{_docdir}/%{name}?
    + To preserve timestamps you could consider using:
      make install INSTALL="%{__install} -p" DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT
    + Why not include ChangeLog and TODO in %doc?
    + Why not include contrib/simple-mtpupload in %doc?

OK - license meets Licensing Guidelines

xx - License field meets actual license
    + Should be GPLv2+ instead of GPLv2. See
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#SoftwareLicenses
packaging/rpm/package.spec.in and packaging/rpm/gphoto2.spec wrongly mention
LGPL. Upstream should be informed about it.

OK - upstream license file included in %doc
OK - spec file uses American English
OK - spec file is legible
OK - sources match upstream sources
OK - package builds successfully

OK - ExcludeArch for s390 and s390x
    + s390 and s390x are not Fedora supported architectures, yet. Out of
curiosity, what is the reason for this?

xx - redundant and extra build dependencies listed
    + libusb-devel and libexif-devel are brought in by libgphoto2-devel,
lockdev-devel looks like an old requirement from libgphoto2, while pkgconfig is
brought in by all the -devel packages providing *.pc files.

xx - locales not handled properly
    + BuildRequires: gettext should be added. See
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Handling_Locale_Files

OK - no shared libraries
OK - package is not relocatable
OK - file and directory ownership
OK - no duplicates in %file

OK - file permissions set properly
    + The preferred attribute definition is: %defattr(-,root,root,-)

OK - %clean present

xx - macros not used consistently
    + Both %{buildroot} and $RPM_BUILD_ROOT notations used.
    + No need to enclose them within double quotes. According to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Macros only one style should
be used.

OK - contains code and permissable content
OK - -doc is not needed
OK - contents of %doc does not affect the runtime
OK - no header files
OK - no static libraries
OK - no pkgconfig files
OK - no library files
OK - -devel is not needed
OK - no libtool archives
OK - %{name}.desktop file not needed
OK - does not own files or directories owned by other packages
OK - buildroot correctly prepped
OK - all file names valid UTF-8

SHOULD Items:

OK - upstream provides license text
xx - no translations for description and summary
OK - package builds in mock successfully

OK - package builds on all supported architectures
    + s390 and s390x are excluded, which are not Fedora architectures.

OK - package functions as expected
OK - scriptlets are sane
OK - subpackages are not needed
OK - no pkgconfig files
OK - no file dependencies

If the package is creating the %{buildroot}%{_docdir}/%{name} directory, it
should either be removed or owned by the package because a package must own all
directories that it creates.

And I am only curious to know why this fails to build on s390 and s390x, and not
why they are not Fedora-supported architectures. :-)

Ping?

This review seems to be stalled.

Jindrich, according to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Policy/StalledReviews#Submitter_not_responding
you need to respond within a week.

Sorry, I was in Africa for 3 weeks with no  internet access.

I applied all your points except:
+ Why not include contrib/simple-mtpupload in %doc?
reason:
It contains perl script that could pull in a perl dependency, which shouldn't be
otherwise needed. The questin is whether /usr/share/doc is a good place for
scripts anyway.

IIRC the s390(x) excluding is because it simply doesn't have USB support.

Thanks for review!

Just "chmod -x simple-mtpupload " and rpm will no longer pull perl as dependency

+ What is the need for two Source0 lines? The first one should be simply removed.

+ Unnecessary 'BuildRequires: pkgconfig' still remains.

+ You could look at Manuel's comment on simple-mtpupload, but its finally upto you.

Fedora tends to prefer %defattr(-,root,root,-) (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CreatingPackageHowTo), so it would be nice if you could use it instead of %defattr(-,root,root).

But this is not a blocker for the review.

Updated.

It was a typo, the older one should just have to go away.

Removed.

Well, putting executable stuff into /usr/share/doc is not a good idea, we should either package it to be actually executable in /usr/bin or not to package it at all. Just removing the executable attribute to fool RPM is not a solution IMO.

Thanks for the review :)

Looks like a rpmlint warning has crept in during the review:
    + [rishi@ginger x86_64]$ rpmlint gphoto2-2.4.2-3.fc10.x86_64.rpm
      gphoto2.x86_64: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/doc/gphoto2-2.4.2/ChangeLog
      [rishi@ginger x86_64]$ 

Could be fixed as shown in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Common_Rpmlint_Issues#file-not-utf8

Otherwise it looks fine.

+---------------------------------+
| This package is APPROVED by me. |
+---------------------------------+

Also replace %{buildroot} with %%{buildroot} in the %changelog stanza to avoid rpmlint warnings on the SRPM.

Ping?

Is there anything which is stopping us from closing this review?

Nope, everything seems to be fixed now. Thanks.
