Bug 832953

update spec for easy subpackage maintenance:

http://bioinfornatics.fedorapeople.org/syntastic-2.3.0-2.20120617git1e94b98.fc17.src.rpm

Hi, thanks for packaging this nice plugin!  Here is the first iteration of
review.

this still NEEDSWORK

* license in spec file is BSD but syntastic license is WTFPL

* nitpicks:
    -a lot of trailing white-spaces, use command in vim:

        set list
        set listchars=tab:>-,precedes:>,trail:_
        :%s/[ \t]\+$//ge

    - not necessary empty line at the beginning of spec file
    - multiple empty lines..

* unused definition of 'snapdate' and 'syntastic_rev', probably should be used
  more generically define $alphatag

* Neither package name nor summary (nor description!) reflects that it is vim
  plugin.  This is IMO important when user wants to find vim plugins.  Wouldn't
  it be nice to name this package something like vim-syntastic && subpackages
  like vim-syntastic-checker-* ?

* bad dependencies in sub-packages breaks the install process:

        syntastic-haml - haml
        syntastic-gentoo-metadata - xmllint
        syntastic-java - javac
        syntastic-xslt - xmllint
        syntastic-json - jsonlint
        syntastic-erlang - escript
        syntastic-docbk - xmllint
        syntastic-cucumber - cucumber
        syntastic-xml - xmllint

  as a solution for non-so-easy dependencies (required additional "hand"
  steps) you may add the README.Fedora file - mentioned here
  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#summary

* see this output  (Two packages are owning this file..)

  $ rpm -q -f /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/syntax_checkers/c.vim
  syntastic-2.3.0-2.20120617git1e94b98.fc16.noarch
  syntastic-c-2.3.0-2.20120617git1e94b98.fc16.noarch

  and this (unnecessary long list):

  rpm --query --filesbypkg syntastic

* I'm not sure how important is this but some executables don't have manual
  pages?

  - syntastic-erlang.noarch: W: no-manual-page-for-binary erlang_check_file.erl
  - syntastic-perl.noarch: W: no-manual-page-for-binary efm_perl.pl

* It would be nice to ask upstream for adding LICENSE file into git tree

* install should be called with '-p' option to preserve timestamps

Hi,
sorry for the delay, i got a material problem with my computer. Now i am back abn ready to works on this rpm.

SPEC: http://bioinfornatics.fedorapeople.org/syntastic.spec 
SRPM: http://bioinfornatics.fedorapeople.org/syntastic-2.3.0-3.20120802gite5dfcc3.fc17.src.rpm

Note : 
- some tools are into lib/devel package an rpmlint warn about it ( xmllint/javac )

It does seem like errors - not a warnings.  Rpmlint seems not to be friend with
'#*' comments after the subpackage definition and it should go away.  Would it
be suitable to add another option for add_subpackage macro for these comments?

Current rpmlint error are "False positive"
documentation is need only for the main package

that is ok or not ?

* file /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/autoload/syntastic/c.vim should go to
  syntastic-c subpackage probably

* some minor trailing white characters are still present

Otherwise it seems ok to me, thanks for your work!

The very last think is that the "autoload" directory should be owned by
vim-filesystem only (and with slash):

  rpm -qf /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/autoload/

  diff --git a/srpm/syntastic.spec b/srpm/syntastic.spec
  index 54ffc2d..9207e52 100644

   %dir %{vimfiles}/syntax_checkers/

I tried to find the reason why:

   $ rpm -qf rpm -qf /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/autoload/syntastic/c.vim
   syntastic-2.3.0-5.20120917git72856e6.fc17.noarch
   syntastic-c-2.3.0-5.20120917git72856e6.fc17.noarch

Could you repair it before approval or should I give you fedora-review+ flag
now and you will repair it later on?

Pavel

oh yes, that is fixed now:

SRPM: http://bioinfornatics.fedorapeople.org/syntastic-2.3.0-6.20120917git72856e6.fc17.src.rpm

You did little different change I suggested :) there should be done line
substitution, not a removal -> now the directory
%{vimfiles}/autoload/syntastic/ is not assigned to any package:

    $ rpm -qf /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/autoload/syntastic/c.vim
    syntastic-c-2.3.0-6.20120917git72856e6.fc17.noarch

This problem causes that when the "vim-common" package is removed, the whole
path /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/autoload/syntastic is still on the system due to
orphan "syntastic".

It does not break anything (but it should be fixed!) so I'm giving you
review-flag+, ~~> ACCEPT
