Description Aditya Patawari 2012-05-23 10:47:02 UTC
SPEC: http://adimania.fedorapeople.org/graphite/whisper.spec
SRPM: http://adimania.fedorapeople.org/graphite/whisper-0.9.9-1.fc17.src.rpm

Whisper is a round-robin style database for graphite. It features a sub-set of rrd. It is implemented in Python.

Comment 1 Volker Fröhlich 2012-05-27 20:31:41 UTC
Following the naming guidelines, the package should be called python-whisper: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Addon_Packages_.28python_modules.29

Looking at https://launchpad.net/graphite/0.9/0.9.10/+download/check-dependencies.py, the minimum Python version seems to be 2.4 -- not 2.6. In case I'm wrong, this package can not go to EPEL 5, since EL 5 has 2.4. Therefore please delete the clean section and the cleaning rm in the install section. Also drop it, if you don't aim for EPEL 5 in general.

The general defattr is not necessary.

Please use the version macro in Source ("0.9.9").

I think you could add a bit more information to the description.

("%setup -q" would have been enough, but with the new name you'll have to use -n anyway. Also, use the name macro consistently.)

There's a _sharedstatedir macro that resolves to "/var/lib". Please use that instead of _localstatedir and the lib string.

I found an import of "rrdtool". You should therefore require rrdtool-python, I guess. You're also assuming a user called "graphite" to be present. This user seems to be created in your carbon package. You must therefore require it.

Still interested?

Comment 3 Volker Fröhlich 2012-08-10 20:16:26 UTC
I'll wait another week. If you don't respond by then, I'll close this ticket, as of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_stalled_package_reviews
