Description Rafael H. Schloming 2007-02-02 17:51:54 UTC
Spec URL: http://people.redhat.com/rafaels/specs/plexus-container-default-1.0-0.a8.2jpp.spec
SRPM URL: ftp://jpackage.hmdc.harvard.edu/JPackage/1.7/generic/SRPMS.free/plexus-container-default-1.0-0.a8.2jpp.src.rpm
Description: The Plexus project seeks to create end-to-end developer tools for
writing applications. At the core is the container, which can be
embedded or for a full scale application server. There are many
reusable components for hibernate, form processing, jndi, i18n,
velocity, etc. Plexus also includes an application server which
is like a J2EE application server, without all the baggage.

Javadoc for plexus-container-default.

OK - try to match previous incarnations in other distributions/packagers for
consistency
OK - specfile should be %{name}.spec
OK - non-numeric characters should only be used in Release (ie. cvs or
   something)
OK - for non-numerics (pre-release, CVS snapshots, etc.), see
   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#PackageRelease
OK - if case sensitivity is requested by upstream or you feel it should be
   not just lowercase, do so; otherwise, use all lower case for the name
OK * is it legal for Fedora to distribute this?
OK - OSI-approved
OK - not a kernel module
OK - not shareware
OK - is it covered by patents?
OK - it *probably* shouldn't be an emulator
OK - no binary firmware
OK * license field matches the actual license.
OK * license is open source-compatible.
OK - use acronyms for licences where common
OK * specfile name matches %{name}
?? * verify source and patches (md5sum matches upstream, know what the patches do)
 - if upstream doesn't release source drops, put *clear* instructions on
   how to generate the the source drop; ie. 
  # svn export blah/tag blah
  # tar cjf blah-version-src.tar.bz2 blah
OK * skim the summary and description for typos, etc.
OK * correct buildroot
 - should be:
   %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
OK * if %{?dist} is used, it should be in that form (note the ? and %
locations)
NO * license text included in package and marked with %doc
OK * keep old changelog entries; use judgement when removing (too old?
useless?)
OK * packages meets FHS (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/)

Review update:

OK * verify source and patches (md5sum matches upstream, know what the patches do)


Comment 4 Andrew Overholt 2007-02-16 16:50:10 UTC
Updated spec and SRPM:

http://overholt.ca/fedora/plexus-container-default.spec
http://overholt.ca/fedora/plexus-container-default-1.0-0.1.a10.1jpp.1.src.rpm

(In reply to comment #2)
> NO * license text included in package and marked with %doc

It's unfortunately not included so this must be ignored.

It's actually both so I can't see any way around it.

Fixed.

I think that's fine.

Comment 5 Nuno Santos 2007-02-16 16:57:57 UTC
All looks good, marking fedora-review+

Comment 6 Andrew Overholt 2007-02-16 20:40:21 UTC
I uploaded the SRPM I built in mock.  Here are the final ones just for posterify:

Branched

Comment 9 Deepak Bhole 2007-03-09 21:09:59 UTC
plexus-appserver does not build with the new container. I reverted it to 1.0 alpha8.

All of Andrew's changes have been preserved, except that the version was rolled
back. Please use this spec and srpm:
