Comment 1 Yaakov Nemoy 2009-03-09 04:44:41 UTC
Here begins the review

After eyeballing it, of note, the actual url is:
http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/darcs/hscolour/

This begs the question, do we want to put the onus on the packager to go to the hackage page and see if there is an alternate link given? Since that link is given in the cabal file anyways, should cabal2spec pull it out automatically? Or rather, do we want to have some sort of OCD everything must link to hackage if it's available there so we can be sure it's a hackage package?

IMO the upstream maintains a nice website.

N/A
# MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} [22]
N/A
# MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be removed in the spec if they are built.[20]
Check
# MUST: Packages containing GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop file, and that file must be properly installed with desktop-file-install in the %install section. If you feel that your packaged GUI application does not need a .desktop file, you must put a comment in the spec file with your explanation. [23]
N/A
# MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages. The rule of thumb here is that the first package to be installed should own the files or directories that other packages may rely upon. This means, for example, that no package in Fedora should ever share ownership with any of the files or directories owned by the filesystem or man package. If you feel that you have a good reason to own a file or directory that another package owns, then please present that at package review time. [24]
Check
# MUST: At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT). [25]
Check
# MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8. [26]
Check

*  SHOULD: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a separate file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it. [27]
N/A
* SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file should contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available. [28]
N/A
* SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock. [29]
Check - x86_64
* SHOULD: The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported architectures. [30]
Not possible, lack of ppc machine.
* SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as described. A package should not segfault instead of running, for example.
Check
* SHOULD: If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. This is vague, and left up to the reviewers judgement to determine sanity. [31]
Check
* SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base package using a fully versioned dependency. [22]
Check
* SHOULD: The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files depends on their usecase, and this is usually for development purposes, so should be placed in a -devel pkg. A reasonable exception is that the main pkg itself is a devel tool not installed in a user runtime, e.g. gcc or gdb. [21]
N/A
* SHOULD: If the package has file dependencies outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin consider requiring the package which provides the file instead of the file itself. [32] 
N/A

Thanks - fixing.

> IMO the upstream maintains a nice website.

Agreed better to use an upstream website when available and up to date.

> ghc-hscolour-devel.x86_64: W: no-documentation
> ghc-hscolour-prof.x86_64: W: no-documentation
> ghc-hscolour-prof.x86_64: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package
> ghc-hscolour-prof.x86_64: E: devel-dependency ghc-hscolour-devel

These can be waived I think.

> hscolour.x86_64: E: non-standard-executable-perm /usr/bin/HsColour 0775

Reproduced and still investigating.

> hscolour.x86_64: W: executable-stack /usr/bin/HsColour

Yes, I think this is common to ghc executables.
I checked and alex, cabal-install, cpphs, ghc, darcs, happy, etc
all have this too.

Fixing with %attr for now anyway.

Comment 3 Yaakov Nemoy 2009-03-13 23:00:09 UTC
Ok, URL is good.
Waiving the warnings and error that can be waived for the obvious reasons. They were included only for completeness.

I'm gonna let the executable-stack warning pass for now. This might bear some looking into.

The other issues have been fixed, so this is APPROVED.
