Bug 389151

This is my first package and I need a sponsor. Thanks!

CCing David Lutterkort (sponsor from Ruby SIG). David, are you willing to take 
this review/sponsorship request?

License should be GPLv2+, not GPLv2, the sources explicitly allow any later 
version.

Fixed in specfile; rebuilt and uploaded this modification to the same URLs. 
Thanks!

OK, but next time please increase the Release number each time you make a 
change to the packaging, that's what it is for. :-)

Spec URL: http://konrad.sobertillnoon.com/fedora/xchat-ruby.spec
SRPM URL: http://konrad.sobertillnoon.com/fedora/xchat-ruby-1.2-2.fc8.src.rpm

Changed some usages of /etc to %{_sysconfdir}.

Well, I have not used xchat and so currently I don't know
how to use this, however:

- On x86_64 and ppc64, while arch dependent files (usually .so files)
  are installed under /usr/lib64 (i.e. %_libdir, for example
  ruby_sitearch), arch-independent
  files (.rb files, for example) are installed under /usr/lib
  (for example, ruby_sitelib)
  c.f. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Ruby

  Does your xchat-rubyenv also work for 64 bits archs?

- And currently the contents of xchat-rubyenv differs between on
  32 bits archs and on 64 bits archs. In this case, it may be better
  that xchat-rubyenv is installed under %_libdir, not under %_sysconfdir.

- build log shows that fedora specific compilation flags are
  not honored correctly.

  See build.log .
  
  

1) It didn't, but the next revision will.
2) This is also fixed.
3) This is also fixed :).

SPEC file: http://konrad.sobertillnoon.com/fedora/xchat-ruby.spec
SRPM:      http://konrad.sobertillnoon.com/fedora/xchat-ruby-1.2-3.fc8.src.rpm

Thanks for your feedback.

Oops, xchat-rubyenv ought to include arch-specific load paths (for ruby 
libraries written in C). This is now fixed in 1.2-4.

http://konrad.sobertillnoon.com/fedora/xchat-ruby.spec
http://konrad.sobertillnoon.com/fedora/xchat-ruby-1.2-4.fc8.src.rpm

For 1.2-4:

* SourceURL
  - I suggest to use 
    http://downloads.sourceforge.net/xchat-ruby/%{name}-%{version}-src.tar.gz
    With this, you don't have to rewrite sourceURL when new version
    is released.

* Ruby API dependency for BuildRequires
  - While this is not written in ruby guidelines, I usually recommend
    to add also
------------------------------------------------------
BuildRequires: ruby(abi) = 1.8
------------------------------------------------------
    for the consistency with Requires.

* Macros in %changelog
------------------------------------------------------
* Fri Nov 23 2007 Conrad Meyer <konrad> - 1.2-2
- Replaced /etc with %{_sysconfdir}
------------------------------------------------------
  - Perhaps $ rpm -q --changelog xchat-ruby will show
------------------------------------------------------
* Fri Nov 23 2007 Conrad Meyer <konrad> - 1.2-2
- Replaced /etc with /etc
------------------------------------------------------
    This is because macros are expanded even in %changelog.
    To avoild this, please use %% in changelog. i.e.
------------------------------------------------------
* Fri Nov 23 2007 Conrad Meyer <konrad> - 1.2-2
- Replaced /etc with %%{_sysconfdir}
------------------------------------------------------

Well, as this is SPONSORNEEDED ticket,
-------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Before being sponsored:

This package will be accepted with another few work. 
But before I accept this package, someone (I am a candidate) 
must sponsor you.

Once you are sponsored, you have the right to review other 
submitters' review requests and approve the packages formally. 
For this reason, the person who want to be sponsored (like you) 
are required to "show that you have an understanding 
of the process and of the packaging guidelines" as is described
on :
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/HowToGetSponsored

Usually there are two ways to show this.
A. submit other review requests with enough quality.
B. Do a "pre-review" of other person's review request
   (at the time you are not sponsored, you cannot do
   a formal review)

When you have submitted a new review request or have pre-reviewed other 
person's review request, please write the bug number on this bug report 
so that I can check your comments or review request.

Fedora package collection review requests which are waiting for someone to
review can be checked on:
http://fedoraproject.org/PackageReviewStatus/NEW.html
(NOTE: please don't choose "Merge Review")


Review guidelines are described mainly on:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ScriptletSnippets
------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks you for the quick responses.

Spec: http://konrad.sobertillnoon.com/fedora/xchat-ruby.spec
SRPM: http://konrad.sobertillnoon.com/fedora/xchat-ruby-1.2-5.fc8.src.rpm

I will work on "showing that I have an understanding 
of the process and of the packaging guidelines" now. :)

Pre-review:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=252101

Well, it may be better that you add ChangeLog to %doc
(not a blocker)

- This package itself is good
- Your pre-review seems good for initial comments.

--------------------------------------------------------
    This package (xchat-ruby) is APPROVED by me
--------------------------------------------------------

Please follow the procedure according to:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join
from "Get a Fedora Account".
At a point a mail should be sent to sponsor members which notifies
that you need a sponsor (at the stage, please also write on
this bug for confirmation that you requested for sponsorship)
Then I will sponsor you.

If you want to import this package into Fedora 7/8, you also have
to look at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UpdatesSystem/Bodhi-info-DRAFT
(after once you rebuilt this package on Fedora rebuilding system).

If you have questions, please ask me.

I (konradm on the Fedora accounts system) confirm that I requested 
sponsorship :).

Now I should be sponsoring you. Please continue
"Join" process.
