Description Nicoleau Fabien 2009-04-19 16:00:23 UTC
Spec URL: http://nicoleau.fabien.free.fr/rpms/SPECS/abby.spec
SRPM URL: http://nicoleau.fabien.free.fr/rpms/srpms.fc10/abby-0.2.0-1.fc10.src.rpm
Description:
abby is a front-end for clive and cclive, allowing users unfamiliar with
command-line interfaces to make most of cclive using a graphical
user-interface. abby is written in C++. 

Note that clive is already in Fedora repositories, and I asked a review for cclive (bug #496486).

Rpmlint is silent.
SRPM builds under mock and on koji : http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1307961

Comment 1 Susi Lehtola 2009-04-20 19:47:43 UTC
- Shouldn't this package Requires: clive, cclive from a usability point of view..?


rpmlint output is clean.


MUST: The package does not yet exist in Fedora. The Review Request is not a duplicate. OK

MUST: The spec file for the package is legible and macros are used consistently. NEEDSFIX
- Don't use %{name} in URL.
- "install -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}" is redundant since "install -Dm 755 -p %{name} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}" already creates the directory for you. Also desktop-file-install seems to create the destination directory automatically, so you can drop the directory line altogether.

MUST: The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines. OK
MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}. OK
MUST: The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the  Licensing Guidelines. OK
MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license. OK
MUST: The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source, as provided in the spec URL. OK
MUST: The package MUST successfully compile and build into binary rpms. OK
MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly. OK
MUST: Optflags are used and time stamps preserved. OK
MUST: Packages containing shared library files must call ldconfig. OK
MUST: A package must own all directories that it creates or require the package that owns the directory. OK
MUST: Files only listed once in %files listings. OK
MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. OK
MUST: Clean section exists. OK
MUST: Large documentation files must go in a -doc subpackage. OK
MUST: All relevant items are included in %doc. Items in %doc do not affect runtime of application. OK
MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package. OK
MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package. OK
MUST: Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig'. OK
MUST: If a package contains library files with a suffix then library files ending in .so must go in a -devel package. OK
MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned dependency. OK
MUST: Packages does not contain any .la libtool archives. OK
MUST: Desktop files are installed properly. OK
MUST: No file conflicts with other packages and no general names. OK
MUST: Buildroot cleaned before install. OK
SHOULD: %{?dist} tag is used in release. OK
SHOULD: If the package does not include license text(s) as separate files from upstream, the packager should query upstream to include it. OK
SHOULD: The package builds in mock. OK


You can do the fixes upon import to CVS. The package has been

APPROVED

Comment 2 Nicoleau Fabien 2009-04-20 21:07:44 UTC
Thank you for the review. I'll fix URL.
Before importing, about the first question, for requires :
- at first, cclive was the only one compatible with abby. clive is compatible since last version. As cclive is lighter than clive, I think I could add cclive as a require for abby
- an other solution is to create a virtual provide, in clive and cclive, like "clive_backend". Then abby could have a require on "clive_backend". I don't know if it's a good solution.

BTW, cclive/abby is originally the "real" couple. 

I don't really know what i the best solution. May be we can also let the user choose himselft his own backend.

Since clive and cclive are trivial in size, I'd put both as requirements.

Comment 4 Nicoleau Fabien 2009-04-20 21:54:40 UTC
As clive will also generate some perl requriements, and if you are ok with that, I prefer put only cclive as an explicit requirement.

Comment 5 Susi Lehtola 2009-04-21 05:38:44 UTC
Is that really such a big of an issue? How big are the perl packages?

However, if abby fails quietly when trying to use clive, then it might be a courtesy to the user to require also clive. Otherwise s/he won't probably know why abby doesn't work.

Anyway, I leave it for you to decide what is sensible.

Comment 6 Nicoleau Fabien 2009-04-21 07:47:18 UTC
If cclive is present, abby won't warn. It requires one, or the other, but not both. If none of them are found, abby will display a messagebox. I'll add cclive as an explicit requires. If users thinks that clive is needed too, I'll add it in further releases. I'll also fix URL. Thank you for this review.
