Description Orion Poplawski 2009-09-10 15:29:16 UTC
Spec URL: http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/perl-PDL-Graphics-PLplot.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/perl-PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.51-1.src.rpm
Description: 
This is the PDL interface to the PLplot graphics library. It is designed
to be simple and light weight with a familiar 'perlish' Object Oriented
interface.

The interface consists of two levels.  A low level interface which maps
closely to the PLplot C interface, and a high level, object-oriented
interface which is easier to use.

Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2009-09-10 15:33:52 UTC
The plan is to stop injecting this into perl-PDL, but to remove plplot support from the main perl-PDL package and replace with this.  Current method is causing problems with detecting up to date PDL-Graphics-PLplot packages.

Comment 2 Marcela Mašláňová 2009-09-11 08:00:16 UTC
SRPM has wrong address.
Rebuild failed:
/home/marca/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/perl-PDL-Graphics-PLplot-0.51-1.fc11.x86_64/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/*

Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2009-09-11 14:26:13 UTC
Oops, should be:

- Use arch specific dir.

? rpmlint on every package.

OK correct BuildRequires, Requires.
OK proper use of %find_lang macro.
OK shared library must call ldconfig in %post and %postun.
OK relocatable package must state this fact.
OK package must own their directories.
OK permissions on files must be set properly.
OK %clean section with rm -rf %{buildroot}.
OK consistent use of macros.
OK package contains code, or permissable content.
OK large documentation go in a -doc subpackage.
OK %doc must not affect the runtime of the application.
OK header files must be in a -devel package.
OK static libraries must be in a -static package.
OK pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig'.
OK library files with a suffix (.so) must go in -devel.
OK usually devel packages must require the base package.
OK Remove .la libtool archives.
OK GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop file.
OK %install section starts with rm -rf %{buildroot}.
The biggest problem is failing koji build.

Thanks!

Comment 6 Marcela Mašláňová 2009-09-14 16:13:36 UTC
Sometimes are the zero files needed even if rpmlint is complaining. You should decide this yourself ;-)

The license is still unknown from the package. I didn't find it anywhere mentioned in package or on site. This is slow but you should contact upstream about correct licensing, if you've also don't find it in files.

I'm not sure.  I removed it and the module at least loads.  I can only find one or two other perl modules with .bs files.  We'll see.

From an email:

Hi Orion:  Sorry about not putting the license in.  I'll add a COPYRIGHT file for the next release.  It will be under a perl Artistic License:
