Bug 759818

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

More information and reason for this action is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19

I'm happy to provide info, but I don't know which one is asked.

Latest package available at:
ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/fedora/17/x86_64/buffer.spec and ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/fedora/17/x86_64/buffer-1.19-4.fc17.src.rpm

Hi,

Can you upload it to another place, I've tried about 10 minutes and Chrome always tells me "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to ftp.mondorescue.org"

FTP --> HTTP?

And have you register an account at FAS? If so please tell me your FAS username.

Could you try with a CLI ftp tool to check ? I have no problem from home to access to it (hosted at work) neither yesterday when I answered, nor today.

It's an ftp server (upstream of the project)

I also made updated versions for fedora 18 and 19, as well at 
ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/fedora/19/x86_64/buffer-1.19-4.fc19.src.rpm and ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/fedora/19/x86_64/afio.spec

My FAS account is bcornec.

I hope you can find a sponsor quickly.

Wrong bugzilla "Component". Ticket has been visible only for retired package "buffer" http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/buffer

Package for re-review should be based on the last build in the distribution:

http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/buffer/1.19/7.fc15/src/buffer-1.19-7.fc15.src.rpm
[ http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=7297 ]

In "buffer-1.19-4.fc19.src.rpm" found in this ticket, even the included source tarball is a different one.

Please use macros consistently
I.e. instead of $RPM_BUILD_ROOT please use %{buildroot}.

BuildRoot tag is not needed unless you target EL5.

French translation of description:
 1) does not start with capital
 2) does not end with dot
 3) is not full translation of the original text
Therefore I would suggest to remove it completly.

%install
%{__rm} -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
is not needed unless you target EL5

The same for
%clean
%{__rm} -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

and
%defattr(-,root,root,-)

You should mark COPYING as license. i.e. use
%license COPYING

Dist tag should be used conditionally:
%{?dist}


- Sources used to build the package match the upstream source, as provided
  in the spec URL.
  Note: Upstream MD5sum check error, diff is in /tmp/review-buffer/diff.txt
  See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL

Ping! Any progress?

Hello Miroslav !

Sorry for the delay and having missed the previous notice. I have updated the spec file and the src.rpm as well following your feedback. Hope it's in better shape now.

Now available at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test/fedora/21/x86_64/buffer-1.19-8.fc21.src.rpm and ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test/fedora/21/x86_64/buffer.spec

Build history is this:

  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=7297

After conversion to dist-git, package has been auto-rebuilt once but apparently failed during the mass-rebuilds for F16 (and later) in 2011. Very likely due to compiler changes. Typically, the package maintainers at that time have received FTBFS notifications and could have looked into it.

It seems you've been the package maintainer for this before (via FAS account "bcornec"), and later the package has been adapted by somebody else for some time:

  http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/buffer.git/log/

As pointed out before, some of the review tickets have not been visible on the review queue tracker page for a long time because they been filed incorrectly.

mindi: bug 187317
mondo: bug 187318
mindi-busybox: bug 476234

The description should be wrapped to 80 characters.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Summary_and_description

You should provide the spec file which you really used for building SRC.RPM.
Your spec use dist tag macro, while your src.rpm file contains spec which have value of dist tag hardcoded.

Any reason why AUTHORS NEWS are not included in binary package?
I would recommend to use:
  %doc README AUTHORS NEWS

buffer.x86_64: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/licenses/buffer/COPYING
You should containt upstream so they update they license file. However, you should not alter the file yourself!

I suppose you have a tool which could help me fix most of the errors/warnings alone right ? Any pointer ? Meanwhile I fixed it.

I'm now indeed providing the right spec file corresponding to the build, sorry for that.

I didn't include AUTHORS and NEWS as they do not exist ;-) I removed the comment line mentioning them to avoid questions.

Latest version updated here:
ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test/fedora/21/x86_64/buffer.spec
ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test/fedora/21/x86_64/buffer-1.19-8.fc21.src.rpm

dnf install fedora-review
fedora-review -b 759818

However the biggest tools are my own eyes, compare everything provided with SRPM and RPM and with upstream. Check the spec for stuff which should not be there etc.

Did you contact upstream about this one?

Everything is fine. So once you contact upstream about the license, I will give you approval stamp.

Yes I just did that. As there has been no new version since 2000, I'm not sure whether the author will answer, but we'll see.

OK then approved.
I will watch your initial steps. Any moments you have some question about Fedora procesess do not hesitate to ask me directly via email.

BTW your email in FAS:
  https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/user/view/bcornec
is different from your bugzilla email. You should have the same email otherwise several things will not work.
You need to sync it up before requesting dist-git branch.

APPROVED

This is coming up to two months since it was approved but no git requests appear to have been made.

As per the stalled review policy if there is no progress in the next week this bug will be closed and a fresh review will be required should anyone want to progress this into Fedora

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_stalled_package_reviews

Sorry for the delay, lots of business travels recently. Will do my best to make progresses ASAP.

I may have issue with myaccount. When trying to login to cjeck the above report I get:

500 Internal error

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Powered by CherryPy 2.3.0

You should now login to pkgdb and click on 'request new package'. Fill in the form with the required information and submit. Your request will be processed by admins usually within 24 hours. 
  https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb
If you cannot log in there, please either hop into #fedora-admin on irc.freenode.net (faster) or file ticket at 
  https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/report
however you need to be logged there to file ticket. So if you are unable to log in, then try the IRC.

The package already exists so I can't ask for "request new package". I've installed a build env for rawhide, and tried koji build (seems to work) and $ fedpkg build:                               
Could not execute build: There are unpushed changes in your repo
-bash-4.3$ fedpkg push
Enter passphrase for key '/home/bruno/.ssh/id_rsa': 
FATAL: W any buffer bcornec DENIED by fallthru
(or you mis-spelled the reponame)
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I've tried to read and understand the wiki for that, but that problem doesn't seem to be covered. Could you help me once more ?

You need to follow:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageDB_admin_requests#Other_requests

Ie. open rel-eng ticket and put there link to this review and ask to be assigned as owner for master branch and all other branches you like (e.g. epel7, f23).

Since the package is retired, the proper way is to ask on pkgdb for it to be un-retired (login and see the button on: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/buffer/ )

Done with https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/6314

But that's not pkgdb, is it?

No it wasn't as I was answering to the other proposal :-(

If I try to unretire it I get:
"Could not save the request for branch: master, has it already been requested?"

I just tried to click on un-retire button and did not get the mentioned error. Did you click on "master" in Branches select box?

Bruno I just gave you the ownership. Try clonning the repo and push the package there.

I've been able to successfully build the buffer package using fedpgk scratch-build

However, my build is unsuccessful as the package is still blocked:

I've opened the following ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/6345

Hopefully either on your side or their side the package will be unblocked allowing me to upload.

I've finally build the buffer package successfully for f24. I think we can now close this ticket :-)
