Bug 548795

Just some quick comment on your spec file.

- Please use '%global' instead of '%define'
- Is 'Requires:	python' really needed?  Isn't it pulled in automatically by RPM?
- '-n %{name}-%{version}' is the default.  '%setup -q' is enough.
- Please ask upstream to include a COPYING file.
- You must use macros.  Replace '/usr/bin/bel' with ' %{_bindir}/bel'
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package#Macros
- Your package provides an egg.  Please have a look at the following page
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Python/Eggs

You're right, removed.

I know, but I thought this way was clearer and easier to maintain.
But, ok, fixed.

Sorry but I don't understand what is wrong with my package, here.
The egg is correctly created and installed in %{python_sitelib} using the upstream setuptools script. The page you ask me to read doesn't say much more than that...

I will provide a new version of my package once the last point is fixed.

meanwhile, here is the new version with all your comments applied :

Any news here?
Is the package ok, any new comment/review or anything?

Fabian Affolter, what did you meant with "- Your package provides an egg.  Please have a look at the following page"

Now is a complete review needed.

'BuildRequires:	python-setuptools-devel' needs to be replaced with 'BuildRequires:	python-setuptools'

Any progress?

SPEC URL: http://louizatakk.fedorapeople.org/rpm/belier.spec
SRPM URL: http://louizatakk.fedorapeople.org/rpm/belier-1.2-3.fc13.src.rpm

I changed python-setuptools-devel to python-setuptools.

Also, it builds on koji, see:

I fixed everything your noticed on my spec file.
And I'm not seeking a sponsor anymore, by the way.

So, bump.

"bump" doesn't really have any effect here; this isn't a web forum, and nobody was signed on to review your package.  I'm looking over all of the old tickets and see that this one seems to be quite fine.

Builds fine on rawhide and rpmlint has only this to say:
  belier.noarch: W: no-manual-page-for-binary bel
A manpage would be nice but is not essential.

There are some bits of your spec which are not needed in Fedora (or EPEL6): BuildRoot, %clean and the first line of %install.  You can remove them if you like.

* source files match upstream.  sha256sum:
  9fe20425d0e061112c38288ce105bc7905a55c22836e801b310541b56e4df409
   belier-1.2.tar.gz
* package meets naming and versioning guidelines.
* specfile is properly named, is cleanly written and uses macros consistently.
* summary is OK.
* description is OK.
* dist tag is present.
* license field matches the actual license.
* license is open source-compatible.
* license text not included upstream.
* latest version is being packaged.
* BuildRequires are proper.
* package builds in mock (rawhide, x86_64).
* package installs properly.
* rpmlint has acceptable complaints.
* final provides and requires are sane:
   belier = 1.2-3.fc15
  =
   /usr/bin/python  
   expect  
   gettext  
   python(abi) = 2.7

* no shared libraries are added to the regular linker search paths.
* owns the directories it creates.
* doesn't own any directories it shouldn't.
* no duplicates in %files.
* file permissions are appropriate.
* no generically named files
* code, not content.
* documentation is small, so no -doc subpackage is necessary.
* %docs are not necessary for the proper functioning of the package.

APPROVED

Oops; I didn't set the flag properly.

Ok, sorry about that.

I left them in the spec file because that's how I usually do and how I see other spec files. Moreover, rpmlint complains about the missing sections if I remove them.
So, since I find them clearer, I'll keep them in place.

Thank you for the review.

New Package SCM Request
=======================
Package Name: belier
Short Description: Generates scripts allowing you to chain many ssh connections
Owners: louizatakk
Branches: f13 f14
InitialCC: louizatakk

Note that rpmlint is simply broken here; the portions of the spec I mentioned really are not necessary, and in fact are either ignored or simply repeat what rpm itself already does.  Other specs aren't done that way because people don't seem to have caught on that we changed the guidelines years ago.  (BuildRoot:, for example, has been ignored completely since F-10.)  Unfortunately we can't get the rpmlint maintainer to listen to reason and disable the checks on Fedora.  There's no mandate that you remove them, though, so that is up to you.

Git done (by process-git-requests).

Is there any reason this ticket is still open?
