Bug 253564

This fails to build for me:

checking for ocamlweb... true
checking for camlp4o... no
configure: error: Cannot find camlp4o.
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.8935 (%prep)

I guessed that ocaml-camlp4-devel was needed, and indeed things build if I add
it as a build dependency.  Of the built packages, rpmlint says:
  ocaml-camomile.x86_64: E: only-non-binary-in-usr-lib
which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, because the .cma and .cmi files
are most certainly non-binary.  So I guess this should be ignored.

  ocaml-camomile.src:54: E: configure-without-libdir-spec
This is bogus as well; the script may be called "configure" but it's not
autoconf-generated. 

Any reason why you have to strip the .opt manually?  I'm afraid I don't know
enough about ocaml to understand why you'd need to do this.

The licensing situation seems to be complicated.  The bulk of the package
seems to be LGPLv2+ but the locale files are under a license which is unknown
because the locales/license.html file given in the README file doesn't seem to
exist.  Some of the data comes from glibc, and what seems to be the rest of it
comes from Unicode.  I'm not really sure about the Unicode license; it allows
redistribution and incorporation of the data, but I don't see anything about
modification and I don't know if that's an issue.

Thus I must regretfully block FE-Legal yet again.

I do think that as many of those license statements as possible should be
included in the final packages.

I don't quite understand the two files installed to /usr/bin.  They seem to
run if I call them, but should they really have a .opt suffix?  I'm not sure
it's a good idea to have executables present or not depending on whether the
optimizing compiler happens to be available at build time.

The same README file is present in all three packages.

Yes, that seems to be a missing camlp4 dep.  Added (see below).

*.opt are stripped manually because they are built with symbols by the
OCaml compiler (which isn't gcc so behaves differently from however gcc
works -- does gcc automatically strip binaries?).

Debian ship the data in a package called libcamomile-ocaml-data
(http://packages.debian.org/etch-m68k/libcamomile-ocaml-dev) which is
free and under LGPL 2.1.

*.opt is a standard extension for native code OCaml binaries.  Sometimes
they are renamed as just foo, sometimes left as foo.opt.  I've renamed
them now.

Here's my updated package:

Spec URL: http://annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-camomile.spec
SRPM URL: http://annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-camomile-0.7.2-1.fc8.src.rpm
Description: Camomile is the main Unicode library for OCaml.

* Tue Feb 12 2008 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones> - 0.7.1-2
- Added BR ocaml-camlp4-devel.
- Rename /usr/bin/*.opt as /usr/bin.

Try that again ...

SRPM URL: http://annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-camomile-0.7.1-2.fc8.src.rpm

I had typed up a nice long comment but for some reason I don't see it here.

GCC doesn't strip binaries.  Normally rpmbuild will do so when it creates the
debuginfo package, but it seems that it either doesn't know it needs to do this
for ocaml-produced files or doesn't know how to.  I commented out the stripping
and the unstripped binaries make it to the final package so I guess that you
have no choice.  Could you open a ticket against rpm for this?

Debian seems to be less strict than we are regarding licensing issues these
days, so simply saying that they have a package listed with a certain license is
not really sufficient.  If you have a pointer to any discussion they may have
had on this matter, that would be useful to whoever happens to read FE-Legal
tickets.

I still think it's odd that this package may produce executables, or not,
depending on some specifics of the ocaml implementation, but i guess that's not
a blockeer.

Otherwise I think this package is OK, although of course I cannot approve it
until the legal folks chime in.  

I opened up a discussion of the legal/licensing issues here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-legal-list/2008-March/thread.html#00002

Spot came up with the definitive reply here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-legal-list/2008-March/msg00005.html

I'm going to prepare a new package shortly with the right license and
an explanation.

Spec URL: http://annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-camomile.spec
SRPM URL: http://annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-camomile-0.7.1-5.fc9.src.rpm

* Mon Mar 17 2008 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones> - 0.7.1-5
- Definitive license.
- Move ./configure into the build section.
- Remove a superfluous comment in the install section.
- Fix rpmlint error 'configure-without-libdir-spec'.
- Scratch build in Koji.

* Wed Mar  5 2008 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones> - 0.7.1-4
- License is LGPLv2+ (no OCaml exception).

* Wed Mar  5 2008 Richard W.M. Jones <rjones> - 0.7.1-3
- Remove ExcludeArch ppc64.

Koji build is failing at the moment on ppc64, apparently because
it just runs out of memory.  I built it on the other archs fine using:

  koji build --scratch --arch-override='i386 x86_64 ppc' dist-f9 \
    ocaml-camomile-0.7.1-5.fc9.src.rpm

which gives this result:

  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=519400

rpmlint is clean except for this which can be ignored:

ocaml-camomile.x86_64: E: only-non-binary-in-usr-lib

There's some apparently upstream bug which is causing these random
fatal errors on 64 bit platforms.  I've asked the author if he can have a look.

  $ tools/parse_allkeys.opt database < unidata/tr10/allkeys.txt 
  Fatal error: out of memory.

Well, I have no problem building this on a 64 bit platform.  My builder has 16GB
of RAM and 32GB of swap, but I don't see any processes during the build that
grow more than a few tens of megabytes.  I guess it's possible that something
allocates more VM than is available on the PPC builder, or that this problem is
ppc64-specific.

In any case, I believe the package is acceptable to the point where I can
approve it but of course you can't actually build it until this gets fixed, or
you decide to do the excludearch thing.

APPROVED
