Description Mihai Limbășan 2009-10-18 17:01:18 UTC

Spec URL: http://rpms.limbasan.ro/fedora/11/SPECS/mingw32-libvorbis.spec
SRPM URL: http://rpms.limbasan.ro/fedora/11/SRMPS/mingw32-libvorbis-1.2.3-2.fc11.src.rpm
Description: This is a MinGW crosscompiler port of libvorbis.

The spec file was created based on the example at

http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-misc.cgi/fedora-mingw--devel/file/3d9d4c1db042/example/mingw32-example.spec#l1

and on the main Fedora libogg spec, taking into account the MinGW SIG packaging
guildelines at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/MinGW .

rpmlint output:

[mimock@home syncup]$ rpmlint mingw32-libvorbis-1.2.3-2.fc11.noarch.rpm mingw32-libvorbis-static-1.2.3-2.fc11.noarch.rpm mingw32-libvorbis-1.2.3-2.fc11.src.rpm
mingw32-libvorbis-static.noarch: E: arch-independent-package-contains-binary-or-object /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libvorbis.a

3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 3 errors, 1 warnings.

which are OK accoring to the packaging guidelines.

Since there is no current mingw32-libvorbis package I decided to go for the latest upstream version, 1.2.3, instead of Fedora's 1.2.0 + patches.

The -m4 patch is Fedora's -m4 patch, corrected to apply cleanly on 1.2.3.

The -acconf patch helps in replacing the ancient config.sub, config.guess, and
libtool shipped by upstream with current versions.

The package depends on mingw32-libogg - see bug #529548 - which is available at the same test repo ( http://rpms.limbasan.ro/fedora/11/i386/ ). It builds cleanly in mock (minus make check which would BuildRequire Wine due to the nature of the package.) If there's any way to get Koji to perform a scratch build using third party packages, I couldn't figure it out, so there's no Koji link for the moment.

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2009-10-19 12:20:27 UTC

Looks sane.  Same comment about packaging the static library.

If you want to get these reviewed, you'll have to ask someone
nicely on the fedora-mingw / fedora-devel-list mailing lists,
and probably swap a review with someone.

Comment 2 Mihai Limbășan 2009-10-19 13:07:14 UTC

Thanks, will do.

Comment 3 Mihai Limbășan 2009-10-19 18:59:31 UTC

Improved package, bumped revision. New URLs:

Spec URL: http://rpms.limbasan.ro/fedora/11/SPECS/mingw32-libvorbis.spec
SRPM URL: http://rpms.limbasan.ro/fedora/11/SRPMS/mingw32-libvorbis-1.2.3-3.fc11.src.rpm

Changes as follows:

- Removed -static package.
- aclocal and pkgconfig directories under _mingw32_libdir are
  no longer installed, mingw32-filesystem already provides them.
- Removed redundant BuildRequire mingw32-binutils which is
  already Required by mingw32-gcc.
- Moved checks to the proper build stage.
- Cosmetic cleanup.

rpmlint says:

[mimock@home mingw32-libvorbis]$ rpmlint -v *rpm
mingw32-libvorbis.noarch: I: checking
mingw32-libvorbis.src: I: checking
2 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.

Again no Koji link due to dependency on mingw32-libogg (bug #529548). Tests complete successfully, builds cleanly in mock.

Comment 4 Jason Tibbitts 2010-11-05 13:18:16 UTC

Your package submissions still build and they seem to me to be clean, but before putting in any review work I'd like to ask, since it's been over a year since anyone has looked at them, if you're still interested in submitting them.

Please let me know; if so I'll try to move forward with reviews and sponsorship.
