Bug 812121

This is a Informal Review.


MUST: rpmlint must be run on the source rpm and all binary rpms the build produces.		[FIX]


rpmlint returns various errors:

private-shared-object-provides - the dependency for kmod-libs is automatically generated so you should remove it from the spec file.
incorrect-fsf-address, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html
spelling-error I believe you can safely ignore this
non-standard-executable-perm - seems to conform to other python packages

The value of this tag appears to be misspelled. Please double-check.

MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license.			[FIX]

The License specified in the spec file is MIT but it looks like LGPLv2+ is more appropriate.

thanks for the informal review. Updated.

Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~grover/new/python-kmod.spec
SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~grover/new/python-kmod-0.1-2.fc17.src.rpm

- Updated License field for proper license
- Removed explicit dependency
- FSF address fixed upstream for next release

Updated spec since upstream now has proper tarballs available:

Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~grover/new/python-kmod.spec

Package Review
==============

Key:
- = N/A
x = Pass
! = Fail

[x]: MUST Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets
     other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging
     Guidelines.
[x]: MUST Package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at
     least one supported primary architecture.
[x]: MUST %build honors applicable compiler flags or justifies otherwise.
[x]: MUST All build dependencies are listed in BuildRequires, except for any
     that are listed in the exceptions section of Packaging Guidelines.
[x]: MUST Buildroot is not present
[x]: MUST Package contains no bundled libraries.
[x]: MUST Changelog in prescribed format.
[x]: MUST Sources contain only permissible code or content.
[-]: MUST Macros in Summary, %description expandable at SRPM build time.
[-]: MUST Package requires other packages for directories it uses.
[x]: MUST Package uses nothing in %doc for runtime.
[x]: MUST Package is not known to require ExcludeArch.
[x]: MUST Permissions on files are set properly.
[x]: MUST Package does not contain duplicates in %files.
[x]: MUST Spec file lacks Packager, Vendor, PreReq tags.
[-]: MUST Large documentation files are in a -doc subpackage, if required.
[x]: 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.
[x]: MUST License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
[x]: MUST Package consistently uses macros (instead of hard-coded directory
     names).
[x]: MUST Package is named according to the Package Naming Guidelines.
[x]: MUST Package does not generate any conflict.
[x]: MUST Package obeys FHS, except libexecdir and /usr/target.
[-]: MUST Package must own all directories that it creates.
[x]: MUST Package does not own files or directories owned by other packages.
[]: MUST Package installs properly.
[-]: MUST Requires correct, justified where necessary.
[!]: MUST Rpmlint output is silent.

python-kmod.src: W: invalid-url Source0: //github.com/downloads/agrover/python-kmod/python-kmod-0.1.tar.gz

Seems there's a colon missing. And also use Source0 instead of Source.

python-kmod.i686: W: private-shared-object-provides /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kmod.so kmod.so

see:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_Rpmlint_issues#private-shared-object-provides
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering#General_filter_setup

python-kmod.i686: E: non-standard-executable-perm /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kmod.so 0775L

I'd say just put this into %install
chmod 755 %{buildroot}%{python_sitearch}/kmod.so

And I think it would be better to list the files in %files like this:
%{python_sitearch}/kmod.so
%{python_sitearch}/kmod*.egg-info
instead of %{python_sitearch}/*

[x]: MUST Sources used to build the package match the upstream source, as
     provided in the spec URL.
3646a6f0a8b98234b6df0ded1c0fefd4
[x]: MUST Spec file is legible and written in American English.
[x]: MUST Spec file name must match the spec package %{name}, in the format
     %{name}.spec.
[x]: MUST File names are valid UTF-8.
[x]: MUST Useful -debuginfo package or justification otherwise.
[x]: SHOULD Reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
[x]: SHOULD If the source package does not include license text(s) as a
     separate file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to
     include it.

Actually it includes more licence files than I think is necessary :-)
I don't understand why there's the GPLv2 licence
file (COPYING) in the upstream (you are upstream, aren't you ?) tarball
when the source code is under LGPLv2.1

[x]: SHOULD Dist tag is present.
[x]: SHOULD Latest version is packaged.
[-]: SHOULD Spec use %global instead of %define.

Updated spec based on review comments:

Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~grover/new/python-kmod.spec
SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~grover/new/python-kmod-0.1-4.fc17.src.rpm

Seems to be OK now.

This package is APPROVED !
