Description Jens Petersen 2012-02-27 04:16:40 UTC
Spec URL: http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/reviews/ghc-aeson/ghc-aeson.spec
SRPM URL: http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/reviews/ghc-aeson/ghc-aeson-0.6.0.0-1.fc16.src.rpm
Description: 
A JSON parsing and encoding library optimized for ease of use and\
high performance.

Aeson was the father of Jason in Greek mythology. :)

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3821128

aeson has over 50 reverse dependencies in hackage:
http://hackage.factisresearch.com/package/aeson/reverse
including snap and yesod-core.

Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2012-02-27 04:21:36 UTC
(Note the latest release requires newer text lib than in current F16 and earlier.
aeson-0.4.0.1 should build on such older haskell-platform's.)

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2012-02-27 05:51:18 UTC

(Hm, that is slightly optimistic since it would need blaze-textual.)

Can you remove the first changelog entry that was generated by cabal2spec? It has no release-version number.

Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2012-03-14 04:11:51 UTC
Ok thanks for posting the fedora-review output.

BTW I just tried with 0.1.3 and it gives only:

Issues:
[!]: MUST If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the
     license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the
     license(s) for the package is included in %doc.
See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#License_Text
[!]: MUST Development (unversioned) .so files in -devel subpackage, if
     present.
     Note: ghc-aeson-0.6.0.0-1.fc18.i686.rpm :
     /usr/lib/ghc-7.0.4/aeson-0.6.0.0/libHSaeson-0.6.0.0-ghc7.0.4.so
See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#DevelPackages

As you can see ghc-aeson does include the license file so it
is false positive: maybe fedora-review only looks in the spec file?

The second one seems new to me and while valid generally I think
it can be waived here since ghc only created one single .so.
Indeed the SONAME of ghc shared libraries is the full filename.
In this context it might be more natural to write the filename
something like libHSaeson.so.0.6.0.0-ghc7.0.4.

Anyway this is obviously true for every ghc built shared library
already in Fedora so I suggest to waive this also since the
libraries are only used by ghc itself.

Comment 5 Shakthi Kannan 2012-03-14 04:38:46 UTC
Approved.

Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2012-03-15 08:09:40 UTC

This also applies to aeson-0.5.0.0:

Data/Aeson/Encode.hs:30:8:
    Could not find module `Data.Text.Lazy.Builder.RealFloat':

which actually needs text > 0.11.1 (should be fixed in git).
