Bug 847952

I'll review it.

Ok, here is a successful build for Rawhide:

* http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4387581

These are Octave Packaging Guidelines:

* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Octave

And here is my formal 
 
REVIEW:

Legend: + = PASSED, - = FAILED, 0 = Not Applicable

- rpmlint is noisy:

^^^ false positive.
octave-nnet.noarch: W: obsolete-not-provided octave-forge

^^^ I think it's not required in this case. if someone still requires octave-forge it must be fixed. Also this is exactly how it's done in the Octave Packaging Guildelines.

Please, comment my concerns above and mark COPYING ad %doc and I'll finish it.

Hi Peter,

1. COPYING is included in the package, I think by the octave macros:
[ankur@ankur SRPMS]$ rpm -qpl /var/lib/mock/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/result/octave-nnet-0.1.13-2.fc19.noarch.rpm | egrep COPY
/usr/share/octave/packages/nnet-0.1.13/packinfo/COPYING

2. The .autoload file looks like it's included. I looked at other octave modules already in fedora and they all seem to include it:
[root@ankur ~]# repoquery -l octave-* | egrep autoload
/usr/share/octave/packages/audio-1.1.4/packinfo/.autoload
/usr/share/octave/packages/communications-1.1.0/packinfo/.autoload
/usr/share/octave/packages/control-2.2.4/packinfo/.autoload
/usr/share/octave/packages/gsl-1.0.8/packinfo/.autoload
/usr/share/octave/packages/image-1.0.15/packinfo/.autoload
/usr/share/octave/packages/miscellaneous-1.0.11/packinfo/.autoload
/usr/share/octave/packages/octcdf-1.1.4/packinfo/.autoload
/usr/share/octave/packages/optim-1.0.17/packinfo/.autoload
/usr/share/octave/packages/quaternion-1.0.0/packinfo/.autoload
/usr/share/octave/packages/signal-1.1.2/packinfo/.autoload
/usr/share/octave/packages/struct-1.0.9/packinfo/.autoload
/usr/share/octave/packages/symbolic-1.1.0/packinfo/.autoload
[root@ankur ~]#

3. I've removed the perl file. It looks like it's something upstream uses to generate TeX sources and isn't required for the fedora package.

4. I corrected the source tar's permissions also to get rid of the rpmlint warning:
[ankur@ankur SRPMS]$ rpmlint octave-nnet-0.1.13-2.fc17.src.rpm /var/lib/mock/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/result/*.rpm ../SPECS/octave-nnet.spec
octave-nnet.src: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) multi -> mulch, mufti
octave-nnet.noarch: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) multi -> mulch, mufti
octave-nnet.noarch: W: obsolete-not-provided octave-forge
octave-nnet.noarch: W: hidden-file-or-dir /usr/share/octave/packages/nnet-0.1.13/packinfo/.autoload
octave-nnet.noarch: E: zero-length /usr/share/octave/packages/nnet-0.1.13/packinfo/.autoload
octave-nnet.noarch: W: dangerous-command-in-%preun rm
octave-nnet.src: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) multi -> mulch, mufti
3 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 6 warnings.
[ankur@ankur SRPMS]$

Thanks,
Ankur

I am aware of it but this is a "MUST" rule - so please add another one copy as %doc.

* https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#License_Text

"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 must be included in %doc."

Ok, good then.

Ok. good. I don't see any other issues (assuming that you will fix licensing issue shortly) so this package is


APPROVED.



PS. it would be great if you will review this one in return:

* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=652682

It's rather messy and probably has a lot of room for improvement - sorry for that.

Added the COPYING file:

http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/octave-nnet/octave-nnet.spec

http://ankursinha.fedorapeople.org/octave-nnet/octave-nnet-0.1.13-3.fc17.src.rpm

Thanks for the review Peter. I've taken up 652682.
