Description Mads Kiilerich 2011-09-08 21:30:39 UTC
Spec URL: http://kiilerix.fedorapeople.org/hgview.spec
SRPM URL: http://kiilerix.fedorapeople.org/hgview-1.3.0-1.fc15.src.rpm
Description:
hgview is a simple tool aiming at visually navigate in a Mercurial repository
history. It is written in Python/Qt4 with quick and efficient key-based
navigation in mind, trying to be fast enough to be usable for big repositories.

$ rpmlint hgview.spec hgview | egrep -v '(spelling-error|incorrect-fsf-address)'
1 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 14 errors, 4 warnings.

Comment 1 Volker Fröhlich 2011-09-08 23:29:03 UTC
Please inform upstream on the wrong address.

Use the name macro in Source0 and the files section.

BuildRequires and Requires are separated by spaces, not commas. Even better: Put each on a separate line.

Drop the version constraint for PyQt4. All possible build targets have a version new enough. The version restriction for Mercurial should probably go to the BRs as well, so the package won't build.

Thanks for the quick response.

> Use the name macro in Source0 and the files section.

I don't fully agree with that. I used explicit "hgview" where it didn't refer to the package name or upstream tar name. I don't think this increased use of %{name} increases the readability or flexibility of the spec. But ok ...

> BuildRequires and Requires are separated by spaces, not commas. Even better:

Yes, that is another way of doing it, but I don't see any requirement/preference for that in the Packaging Guidelines.

FWIW http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package and http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/ch-specfile-syntax.html describe it as a comma-separated list.

It would be great of the guidelines could help making it more consistent.

Ok.

This build time dependency is bogus and isn't really used, so I assume it would work with all future versions of Mercurial. https://www.logilab.org/ticket/75296

It depends, I think. The basic rule is to call the package like the tarball. In that case, it fits well. If you're going to rename the package for a different reason, it doesn't help.

You're right. The reason why I suggested putting them on separate lines is, you can spot duplicates easily. I saw that happen a couple of times, when the list of BRs was long. They're also easier to comment out.

Please try to convince FPC to clarify the packaging guideline - then I would be happy to comply.

Comment 6 Volker Fröhlich 2011-10-07 10:40:36 UTC
There is some typo or grammar mistake in the first line of the description:

"hgview is a simple tool aiming at visually navigate in a Mercurial repository" -- "navigating" maybe?

You should only set python_sitelib for systems that don't define it. Please see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Macros

The rm in the install section is not necessary. 

Qscintilla-python already requires PyQt4, so you don't have to state that explicitly.

README: "The Text interface depends on urwid, pygments and pyinotify" -- Did you leave that out on purpose?

If you find the time, please correct "intarfece" in the README file and tell upstream. You probably shouldn't ship that file at all, as it gives instructions on how to run it from a check-out, which is not what the package is about.

Comment 7 Mads Kiilerich 2011-11-03 23:33:35 UTC
(In reply to comment #6)

Thanks for the comments. Most of it has just been done. Only a couple of comments:

The description (based on upstreams description) has been changed a lot, so it should perhaps be reviewed again.

> Qscintilla-python already requires PyQt4, so you don't have to state that
> explicitly.

I would like to keep that. It is explicitly stated as a dependency by upstream, and I like to have the important Qt4 dependency explicit.

> README: "The Text interface depends on urwid, pygments and pyinotify" -- Did
> you leave that out on purpose?

I had not updated the package for this new feature. Done now. It is a bit weird that the package both depends on urwid and qt4, but I don't see any good way to split it up. I have however tried not to mix these two parts too much.

Comment 11 Christopher Meng 2013-05-29 14:52:20 UTC
What about generating the desktop files as source1/2 before building? I seldom see the EOF script in spec now in Fedora.

Comment 12 Mads Kiilerich 2013-05-29 15:33:02 UTC
Yes, that would be another way to do it. I think it would be less readable without being more guideline compliant.

Comment 13 Jason Tibbitts 2013-05-29 18:12:51 UTC
For the record, I agree; there's nothing particularly wrong with catting those simple files out from the spec, and as a bonus you get to use macro substitutions if you want, which you often do.

Unfortunately I know pretty much nothing of mercurial (can barely handle git and don't see the need for yet another VCS of that type) so I don't have any real way to test this but I sure would like to see this finally get reviewed after something like 20 months, so I guess I'll try to take a look.

However, while I can build this just fine, I can't install it because rawhide has mercurial 2.6 and this explicitly requires mercurial < 2.6.  What to do?

> Unfortunately I know pretty much nothing of mercurial (can barely handle git

Mercurial and git were created simultaneously and independently. For me git is the yet another VCS that I would rather avoid using. YMMV.

> so I don't have any real way to test this 

You can get a repo to browse with
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/logilab/hgview

Thanks.

That was a conservative estimate. I have updated the spec with more relaxed requirements.

You are right. I have seen it used (for instance in grub2) and was sure it was allowed - and don't see why it shouldn't. Including files in multiple sub packages can make it possible to avoid -common packages and avoid providing something before it actually is available.

However, I have moved more files to the -common package.

Eeh? Yes, installing a package without its dependencies is an "installation error", not a packaging error.

There are two independent UIs for hgview. qt users might not want to install the curses dependencies.

> #hgview = %{python_sitelib}/hgext/hgview.py
>

No it should not. hgext is optional (and the left hand side doesn't matter when there is a right hand side).

>      Why do you comment-out by default?

Because it is a best practice for Mercurial that extensions shouldn't be enabled by default. The ability to invoke hgview as 'hg hgview' instead of 'hgview' is also not essential.

[?] = Not evaluated
[ ] = Manual review needed


Issues:
=======
- Package installs properly.
  Note: Installation errors (see attachment)
  See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines

  ---> you should probably just split into two pkgs:
         * hgview (containing former -common and -ncurses)
         * hgview-qt (containing former main-pkg, requiring new-main-pkg)
       ncurses-deps don't occupy that much bandwith and disk-space and
       will make main-pkg basically useful on ANY install.

- Package contains BR: python2-devel or python3-devel
  See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#BuildRequires

  ---> 's!python-devel!python2-devel!'

- update-desktop-database is invoked when required
  Note: desktop file(s) in hgview
  See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Icon_Cache

  ---> add scriptlets as proposed in link

- Packages should try to preserve timestamps of original installed files.

(In reply to Björn Esser from comment #17)

>   ---> you should probably just split into two pkgs:

Thank you for the opinion and advice.

I am still convinced that curses should be a separate package. Installing hgview-curses can take 7.5 MB on disk including the dependencies.

> - Package contains BR: python2-devel

Right. The guidelines has changed since the package was created.

> - update-desktop-database is invoked when required
>   Note: desktop file(s) in hgview
>   See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Icon_Cache

The package has no icons - only a pixmap. That section do thus not apply.

You mean http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#desktop-database ? No - the .desktop file has no MimeType.

> - Packages should try to preserve timestamps of original installed files.
>

That is a file I created by converting the favicon from upstreams website. The "original" timestamp is completely irrelevant. The guidelines says "consider". But ok.

You said that before, and I pointed out that the command you show is attempting do do an invalid installation - that is not a mock build.

Please explain what you are trying to do, what you are doing, and why you think that is the right thing to do.

The other way round one can argue about hgview pulling in "half-a-desktop", even if user just needs/wants ncurses interface, e.g. on terminal-only machine.

So I though a bit about it and come in with another aproach making both sides happy, I hope.

When you have a look at the attached patch, you'll see I changed package-order a bit.  There are three pkgs now: hgview (is what was former -common) depending hgview-ui and hgview-{curses,qt} providing hgview-ui, requiring hgview.

This results in 

  a) the user can choose which ui to install

  b) even just installing hgview will install an ui, so we have a working base
     install. Yum should be smart enough to pull in the
     "cheaper = less bandwith/disk" ui.

What's your opinion to this?

If the user wants hgview-curses without the qt stuff in hgview then he just installs hgview-curses.

> What's your opinion to this?

My opinion is that you are proposing changes that might be another valid way to do this packaging but wouldn't improve the packaging. Thanks for sharing your opinion, but it is hardly relevant for a review.

Package is fine.

%python_sitelib is below /usr/lib for x86_64, whereas mercurial.x86_64 stores its extensions below /usr/lib64 => %python_sitearch:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=2518

It does not include %{python_sitelib}/hgext/ yet, but some package ought to own it: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#File_and_Directory_Ownership

Comment 23 Mads Kiilerich 2013-06-21 19:00:52 UTC
(In reply to Michael Schwendt from comment #22)

Hmm ... yeah ... nothing owns /usr/lib/.../hgext on x86_64 ... but it is owned on x86.

Mercurial on x86_64 doesn't look in /usr/lib/.../hgext at all so it would be strange if Mercurial owned that directory.

For almost the same reasons my sample hg config for this extension uses an absolute path. This hgview.py should perhaps just be stored in the ordinary hgview directory instead of in an hgext directory.
