Description Peter Lemenkov 2024-08-12 21:36:00 UTC
Spec URL: https://peter.fedorapeople.org/packages/solidity.spec
SRPM URL: https://peter.fedorapeople.org/packages/solidity-0.8.26-1.fc40.src.rpm
Description: Solidity is an object-oriented, high-level language for implementing smart
contracts. Smart contracts are programs which govern the behaviour of accounts
within the Ethereum state.
Fedora Account System Username: peter

This package is intended only for Fedora 40 and later. It's very demanding about fmt versions and Fedora 39 and older have a slightly old fmt version which I am not going to fix since F39 is few months from being EOLed.

Comment 1 Jerry James 2024-08-16 20:30:13 UTC
I will take this review.  If you aren't sick of GAP packages, would you mind doing one more?  Bug 2277899 needs a review.

As the maintainer of the cvc5 and z3 packages, I'm interested to see a package that uses both!

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

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

Issues:
=======
- Regarding the license, libstdlib/src/stub.sol has an Apache-2.0 comment at
  the top.  Are the contents of libstdlib included in the binary rpm?

- The declared license is GPL-3.0-only, but most source files contain the
  "any later version" language, for example:
  - liblangutil/Common.h
  - libsolc/libsolc.h
  - solc/main.cpp

- Some source files are derived from V8 and carry a BSD-3-Clause declaration,
  in addition to the GPL-3.0-or-later declaration:
  - liblangutil/CharStream.{cpp,h}
  - liblangutil/Scanner.{cpp,h}
  - liblangutil/Token.{cpp,h}

- Also, libsolutil/picosha2.h has an MIT declaration

- Not necessarily an issue, but I want to make sure you know that upstream
  overrides the Fedora choice of -O2, adding -O3 to the build flags

- I don't know how seriously we take the "American English" thing, but I will
  note that "behaviour" in %description is the British English spelling.  We
  lazy Americans drop the "u": "behavior".  (See the spelling-error rpmlint
  warning below.)

- Is there any hope of doing something useful in %check; e.g., run the binary
  with some simple input just to verify that it doesn't crash?

- Please consider generating man pages with help2man (see the
  no-manual-page-for-binary warning below)

I've started discussing licensing tags and terms with upstream (https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/issues/15353). Meanwhile I've changed License tag to "GPL-3.0-or-later and MIT".

These ones looks like relicensed to GPL-3.0-or-later.

> - Also, libsolutil/picosha2.h has an MIT declaration

Yes, I've added MIT to the license field.

Fixed it. Will discuss it with upstream later.

Ohh, sorry - pressed enter too fast. Right now I really don't know hpow to hook up a test-suite properly. I'll discuss it with upstream.
