Bug 517859

I looked a bit on your package and I have few comments/questions. You are generating init scripts in spec file. Isn't it better to distribute them along with source?

Furhtermore, I believe you should add %preun section to spec file that will try to stop the service before uninstaling it.

There is an error reported by rpmlint when run on the binary package:

$ rpmlint vmpsd-1.4.01-1.fc11.x86_64.rpm 
vmpsd.x86_64: W: summary-not-capitalized vmpsd is a GPL implementation of Cisco Systems' VMPS
vmpsd.x86_64: W: name-repeated-in-summary vmpsd
vmpsd.x86_64: E: init-script-without-chkconfig-postin /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmpsd
vmpsd.x86_64: W: service-default-enabled /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmpsd
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 3 warnings.


Trying to build package in mock was successful.

Hi Stjepan Gros, and thanks for the review.

My understanding is that it is OK to put the scripts in the spec file but I will put it in the source if I'm wrong.

I've corrected to %preun and tidied up the rpmlint output.

rpmlint /home/coec/rpmbuild/SRPMS/vmpsd-1.4.01-1.fc11.src.rpm /home/coec/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586/vmpsd-1.4.01-1.fc11.i586.rpm vmpsd.spec 
vmpsd.i586: W: service-default-enabled /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmpsd
2 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.

I should have advised that I need a sponsor also.

I've updated the spec and src.rpm.

Some random notes:

* License
  - The license tag should be "GPL+", because no version information
    is given in the tarball (just putting GPLv2 license in the tarball
    does not specify the version of GPL: see below)
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/FAQ#How_do_I_figure_out_what_version_of_the_GPL.2FLGPL_my_package_is_under.3F

* URL
  - The following is more proper:
    http://vmps.sourceforge.net/

* BuildRequires
  - BR: gcc is redundant.
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Exceptions_2

* Building source
  - Unless some specialy reason exists, compiling source codes (by "make",
    for example) must be done at %build stage and %install stage should
    do just installing files (by "make install", for example) and so on.
    (i.e. add "make %{?_smp_mflags}" after %configure, also see below)
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Parallel_make

* Timestamp
  - Please consider to use
----------------------------------------------------------------
make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT INSTALL="install -p"
----------------------------------------------------------------
    to keep timestamps on installed files as much as possible.
    This method usually works for Makefiles generated from recent
    autotools.

* Creating scripts by cat in spec file
  - Please avoid this as much as possible, just create a text
    files beforehand, add these as %SOURCEx, and install
    the text files at %install (also see:
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Timestamps

* About scriptlets treatment
  ! Please read:
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript
    Some notes:
    - Some Requires(pre) or so is missing.
      https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript#Initscripts_in_spec_file_scriptlets
    - Service should not be enabled by default:
      https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript#.23_chkconfig:_line
    - Please use %_initddir
      https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript#Initscripts_on_the_filesystem
    - Consier to add "condrestart" at %postun

* Macros
  - Please use macros properly.
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/RPMMacros
    - Use %{_sysconfdir}, %{_bindir} and so on.
    - %{_datadir/man} should be %{_mandir}

Thank you for the detailed review.

I believe I have addressed the points you raised and have updated the files.

Spec URL: http://members.iinet.net.au/~coec/vmpsd.spec
SRPM URL: http://members.iinet.net.au/~coec/vmpsd-1.4.01-3.src.rpm  

Please note that this is intended to be build on RHEL5 so some of the macros I can't use.

Thanks again

For -3:

* initscript treatment
  - Still Requires(post) or so are missing:
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript#Initscripts_in_spec_file_scriptlets
    ( See Requires(post) or so item )

  - Again usually service should not be enabled by default.
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript#.23_chkconfig:_line
    chkconfig line in vmpsd.init should be:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# chkconfig: - 92 8
--------------------------------------------------------------------

  - And would you check if "condrestart" is not neeeded?

* SourceURL
  - For sourceforge.net hosted source tarball, please see:
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL#Sourceforge.net

* %clean section
  - I recommend to write %clean section after %install section.

* make
  - On %build section, "make" is enough, "DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" is not needed
    ( DESTDIR=foo is needed for "make install" )

  ! Again please add %{?_smp_mflags} if possible:
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Parallel_make

* Specifying user/group with "install" command
  - cannot be done as usually rpmbuild is done as non-previledged user.
    So in rpmbuild "-o root -g root" with install fails, this is simply
    not needed.

* Macros
  - Please use macros even in %files section

Thanks for your patience.

I think I've addressed these concerns.

For -4:

* SourceURL
  - I recommend to use %{name} and %{version} macro in
    SourceURL (especially %{version}), with this you probably
    won't have to change SourceURL when version is upgraded:
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL#Using_.25.7Bversion.7D

* condrestart
  - condrestart should be in %postun:
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SysVInitScript#Initscripts_in_spec_file_scriptlets

* Timestamps
  - Please add "-p" option to "install" command
    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Timestamps
------------------------------------------------------
install %{S:2} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_initrddir}/%{name}
------------------------------------------------------

* Macros
  - /usr/share/man should be %{_mandir}

* Documents
  - Forgot to mention, however:
  * Please add COPYING{.GPL} to %doc
  * And consider to add ChangeLog, README to %doc.

Thanks for your continued patience

For -5:

* Initscripts (condrestart)
  - condrestart in %post scriptlet is no longer needed ( as
    condrestart is called at %postun )

* Documents
  - Usually the file "INSTALL" is for people installing the software
    by building it by themselves and not needed for people using
    packaged rpm.

Well,

* In %changelog, we usually don't add %{?dist} to release number
  Please fix this when you import this package into Fedora CVS

Now:
- This package itself can be approved
- As written in
  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/HowToGetSponsored
  we usually ask the person who needs sponsorship to either
  submit another review request or do a "pre-review" of other
  person's review request.

  Now you have other review requests and their packaging seems good
  to some extent from a quick glance.

--------------------------------------------------------
    This package (vmpsd) is APPROVED by mtasaka

Please follow the procedure written on:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join
from "Install the Client Tools (Koji)".

Now I am sponsoring you.

If you want to import this package into Fedora 10/11, you also have
to look at

Well,

- Would you verify that you uploaded your ssh public key to
  FAS (Fedora Account System)? (if not please visit your
  FAS page)

- And would you check if you have installed "fedora-package"
  rpm and execute $ fedora-packager-setup ?

Thankyou for the pointer.

I've done the CVS thing for vmpsd in F-10, F-11 and EL-5.

There was a line in each saying 'Source upload succeeded. Don't forget to commit the new ./sources file'.  How do I do this?

Is there a complete wiki page on all of this.  I'm having trouble finding all the info in one spot.

Thanks again

CC

(In reply to comment #17)
> There was a line in each saying 'Source upload succeeded. Don't forget to
> commit the new ./sources file'.  How do I do this?

This means that you have to do "cvs commit" after "make new-sources"
or "make upload".  However from cvs-extras-commits list you used
"cvs-import.sh" and with this script it was done automatically.

Now please build this package on koji, and for F-10/11/EL-5 please
submit push requests on bodhi.

OK, build in koji and now attempting to push through dodhi.

Stuck in the package name as it is not autocompleting and also saying 'invalid build'.  The package name I'm giving is 'vmpsd-1.4.01-6.f10' (also tried 'vmpsd-1.4.01-6.fc10') as per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join#Install_the_Client_Tools_.28Koji.29

I'm not deliberated tryig to be dense here.

Thanks again for all of your help.

CC

Well, actually it seems you have done "make tag", but
you have not built vmpsd with koji yet:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=9159

Please actually build the package:

vmpsd-1.4.01-6.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10.

Mostly done except for f12 which gives me this message:
"vmpsd-1.4.01-6.fc12 not tagged as an update candidate"

Are upcoming Fedora releases treated differently?

CC

For now you don't have to submit push requests on bodhi for F-12.
Packages rebuilt for F-12 are automatically pushed into rawhide tree
next day.

Closing.
