Description Jindrich Novy 2010-06-02 10:14:14 UTC
Spec URL: http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/pxz/pxz.spec
SRPM URL: http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/pxz/pxz-4.999.9-0.1.beta.20100602git.fc13.src.rpm
Description: 
Parallel XZ is a compression utility that takes advantage of running
XZ compression simultaneously on different parts of an input file on
multiple cores and processors. This significantly speeds up compression time.

Comment 1 Susi Lehtola 2010-06-03 12:20:27 UTC
Assigning.

rpmlint output:
pxz.x86_64: W: incoherent-version-in-changelog 4.999.9-0.1.20100526.beta ['4.999.9-0.1.beta.20100602git.fc13', '4.999.9-0.1.beta.20100602git']
pxz.x86_64: W: no-manual-page-for-binary pxz
pxz-debuginfo.x86_64: E: debuginfo-without-sources
3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 2 warnings.

The error is caused by optflags not being used:

gcc -Wall -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Winline -Wextra -Wmissing-noreturn  -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -DPXZ_BUILD_DATE=\"`date +%Y%m%d`\" -DPXZ_VERSION=\"4.999.9beta\" -O2 -fopenmp -llzma pxz.c -o pxz

Change
 CFLAGS="%{optflags}"
to
 export CFLAGS="%{optflags}"
and it works.

However, I recommend patching out
 CFLAGS+=-O2 -fopenmp
from the makefile, and using
 export CFLAGS="%{optflags} -fopenmp"
instead.


The man page warning can be omitted. Although, I see you are also upstream, so I'd recommend you create a man page.

Thanks! All of the mentioned fixes should be addressed now.

Comment 4 Susi Lehtola 2010-06-03 18:49:18 UTC
This is a package review, not a merge review ;)


$ rpmlint pxz-*
pxz.x86_64: W: incoherent-version-in-changelog 4.999.9-0.1.20100603.beta ['4.999.9-0.1.beta.20100603git.fc13', '4.999.9-0.1.beta.20100603git']
3 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.

so the change log EVR entries should be of the style
 4.999.9-0.1.beta.20100603git
not
 4.999.9-0.1.20100603.beta


- I abhor wildcards where they are not needed. Please change
 %{_mandir}/man1/*.1*
to
 %{_mandir}/man1/pxz.1*

- Please change URL to
 http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/pxz
as that's a *lot* easier to paste from the spec file.


Otherwise, my earlier comments seem to have been taken into account. One final comment: now the compilation does not use the "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE" flags. Are these not necessary on Fedora?


The final changes are cosmetic, so you can consider this package

APPROVED

Comment 6 Kevin Fenzi 2010-06-07 21:08:23 UTC
CVS done (by process-cvs-requests.py).

Can you fix the summary to say pxz, and not PXZ? 
It causes a warning from our tools.

Comment 7 Jindrich Novy 2010-06-08 05:30:01 UTC
Done, thanks.

Comment 8 Jindrich Novy 2010-06-08 08:32:34 UTC
Jussi, Kevin, thanks for cooperation :)
