Description Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-02-23 17:59:10 UTC
Spec URL: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/memchan.spec
SRPM URL: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/memchan-2.3-1.fc16.src.rpm

Description: 
Memchan is an extension library to the script language Tcl, as created by John
Ousterhout. It provides several new channel types for in-memory channels and
the appropriate commands for their creation.

Reviewer Note: This package was previously in Fedora, but was orphaned, then retired. It has been cleaned up and updated to the latest version. This package will resolve broken dependencies in Fedora.

Comment 1 Gwyn Ciesla 2012-02-24 16:14:44 UTC
I'll have a peek.

Comment 2 Gwyn Ciesla 2012-02-24 16:36:37 UTC
Good:

- rpmlint checks return:

memchan.src: W: invalid-url Source0: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/memchan/Memchan2.3.tar.gz <urlopen error timed out>
The value should be a valid, public HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP URL.

Likely an artifact of my internet connection.  Verify but probably fine.

Not seen these before, but not a blocker.


memchan-devel.x86_64: W: no-documentation
The package contains no documentation (README, doc, etc). You have to include
documentation files.

There's just not much there, this is ok.

- package meets naming guidelines
- package meets packaging guidelines
- license ( MIT and Public Domain) OK, text in %doc, matches source
- spec file legible, in am. english
- source matches upstream
- package compiles on devel (x86_64)
- no missing BR
- no unnecessary BR
- no locales
- not relocatable
- owns all directories that it creates
- no duplicate files
- permissions ok
- %clean ok
- macro use consistent
- code, not content
- no need for -docs
- nothing in %doc affects runtime
- no need for .desktop file
- devel package ok
- no .la files
XXXX post/postun ldconfig ok

This is not done.  Is it needed for Tcl solibs?

- devel requires base package n-v-r 

Otherwise, nothing out of order, as expected.

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-02-24 18:39:11 UTC
I don't think ldconfig is needed for the Tcl solibs, they're not in the standard ld.so pathing, and they work without ld.so.conf.

Comment 4 Gwyn Ciesla 2012-02-24 18:53:39 UTC
Cool.  Then APPROVED.

Comment 5 Jerry James 2012-02-24 19:14:30 UTC

It's got one too many "sourceforge"s in it.  This URL works:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/memchan/Memchan2.3.tar.gz

Comment 6 Gwyn Ciesla 2012-02-24 19:34:31 UTC
That's funny, not only that I missed that (long day) but that it worked when I tried it. :)
