Description Sebastien Caps 2012-08-14 12:27:47 UTC
Spec URL: http://repo.virer.net/raw/sshguard.spec
SRPM URL: http://repo.virer.net/raw/sshguard-1.5-1.src.rpm
Description: 
Sshguard protects networked hosts from brute force attacks
against ssh servers. It detects such attacks and blocks the
attacker's address with a firewall rule.

Hi,

I would like to perform an informal review as part of my sponsorship process.

You should use the dist tag in your release:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/DistTag

The Buildroot tag should not be used:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#BuildRoot_tag

Also, these lines are not needed:
[ "%{buildroot}" != "/" ] && rm -rf %{buildroot}

They are essentially doing the same thing as the clean tag, which is also not needed:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#.25clean

Comment 3 Brenton Leanhardt 2012-08-14 14:53:33 UTC
This looks pretty good!  Apologies for not making myself more clear in my last comment.  You can actually remove the %clean section altogether:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#.25clean

Comment 4 Sebastien Caps 2012-08-14 15:00:46 UTC
Oh! I need new glasses. Thanks again :)

SRPMS: 
http://repo.virer.net/raw/sshguard-1.5-1.fc16.src.rpm
SPEC:  
http://repo.virer.net/raw/sshguard.spec

Comment 5 Brenton Leanhardt 2012-08-14 15:15:02 UTC
Hmm, I think this is still the old spec file.  The following lines should be removed:

BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-buildroot

%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

I had the same problem when I was submitting my first packages and eventually I started scp'ing the files to a timestamped directory on my webserver to avoid confusion.  eg,

http://repo.virer.net/raw/package-reviews/201208141113/sshguard.spec

It's also good to start getting into the practice up bumping the Release number in the spec and updating the changelog.

Comment 7 Brenton Leanhardt 2012-08-14 15:48:59 UTC
Thanks for the prompt fixes.  Here's the full output of fedora review.  I'm not in the package group yet so someone else will need to do the final approval.  However that process should go quicker for you now.  Good luck!!

Comment 8 Brenton Leanhardt 2012-08-14 17:56:19 UTC
My sponsor reminded me I need to manually verify all items from the last post that were not automatically detected.  My comments are inline.  The main problems are licensing related.


==== Generic ====
[x]: EXTRA Rpmlint is run on all installed packages.
     Note: No rpmlint messages.
[x]: EXTRA Spec file according to URL is the same as in SRPM.
[!]: MUST Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets
     other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging
     Guidelines.

The specfile specifies the license is GPLv2+ however that does not appear to be the case.  In the README it looks like there are technically 2 licenses used and then 1 library in the public domain.  Other files mention the GPL.  It will be important to have upstream clarify the license.

[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 Package contains no bundled libraries.
[!]: MUST Changelog in prescribed format.

You don't technically need to include %{?dist} in the changelog.

[x]: MUST Sources contain only permissible code or content.
[x]: MUST Each %files section contains %defattr if rpm < 4.4
     Note: Note: defattr macros not found. They would be needed for EPEL5

I've attached this file to help you.

[x]: MUST Package consistently uses macro is (instead of hard-coded directory
     names).
[x]: MUST Package is named using only allowed ascii characters.

[x]: MUST Spec file name must match the spec package %{name}, in the format
     %{name}.spec.
[!]: MUST Package contains systemd file(s) if in need.

I appears sshguard run as a daemon process and would therefore require a systemd file.

[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.

Comment 9 Sebastien Caps 2012-08-16 15:48:06 UTC
Ok answer from upstream licence is BSD (don't know why mandrake mention GPLv2+)
I have created systemd scripts I will try to push them upstream when validated.

Comment 10 Brenton Leanhardt 2012-08-16 17:08:23 UTC
Thanks for tracking that down.  Unfortunately there definitely appears to be some conflicting licenses mentioned in the code.  I'll attach the output of the fedora-review license checker.

In the case where this project needs multiple licensing you can see this page:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#Multiple_Licensing_Scenarios

Also, there is a minor diff between the linked specfile and the SRPM specfile.  I occationally have this problem too so just be careful. :)

Comment 11 Brenton Leanhardt 2012-08-16 17:10:45 UTC
Created attachment 604981 [details]
files with conflicting licenses

You can see there are some files with GPL licenses and others with what fedora-review thinks is ISC (but may indeed be BSD).

Comment 12 Sebastien Caps 2012-08-16 19:50:26 UTC

Since I still lack of sponsor and I have no more time to spend on it, I close it.
