Bug 875087

Hello Paul!

Thank you for your contribution. You must become a packager to maintain packages in Fedora.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers

I left a comment on the ticket that you'll need a sponsor first.

vtk is only in EPEL 6. If you want your package to appear in EPEL 5, you'll have to convince the vtk maintainer to create a build there. :)

---

Some comments:

License is GPLv2+

Use the name and version macro in Source0.

You don't need defattr anymore.

You must own %{_sysconfdir}/pbsclusterviz.d. and %{python_sitelib}/pbsclusterviz

Drop all version constraints from BuildRequires. No maintained release of Fedora or EL has older versions. I don't know whether you need those packages while you're building. But if you need them during operation, you'll have to make them Requires.

Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pbsclusterviz-0.7a-py2.7.egg-info

Also include AUTHORS and COPYING. The postal address in COPYING is outdated.

Hi Volker,

many thanks for your comments!  I've changed as many things as I could and have uploaded the latest spec file and SRPM to the following URLs:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pbsclusterviz/files/pbsclusterviz%200.7/pbsclusterviz.spec
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pbsclusterviz/files/pbsclusterviz%200.7/pbsclusterviz-0.7a-2.src.rpm

I'm pretty sure I had a sponsor for some old projects of mine ('xmds' and 'pyscript') so I don't know if that helps at all in this case.

Hrm, strange.  I've got the code running on a ScientificLinux5 system (basically RHEL5).  Maybe it's possible to get python-vtk etc from the DAG or ATRPMS repos (which are also activated on that system) and that's the reason that pbsclusterviz works there.

Corrected in current .spec file.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean here.  root should own the files, right?  How do I set the ownership properly?

Ok, I've corrected this in the current .spec file.  Hopefully it's now what's expected.

> Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
> /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pbsclusterviz-0.7a-py2.7.egg-info

Strange, I don't get this file when building and installing the package.  Should I just add this to the .spec file?  Or leave it as is?

> Also include AUTHORS and COPYING. The postal address in COPYING is outdated.

Updated and corrected as necessary.

Many thanks again for your help!

Kind regards,

Paul

Staled Bug Request. @Paul Cochrane  i hope you are still interested to finish this one.

This is described in: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#.25clean 

 %clean

The %clean section is not required for F-13 and above. Each package for F-12 and below (or EPEL 5) MUST have a %clean section, which contains rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).

> BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)

This must be removed for EPEL6

Hi Veaceslav,

> Staled Bug Request. @Paul Cochrane  i hope you are still interested to

yes I am.  I still need someone to sponsor this package request though.

Good to know.  I can remove this for the EPEL6 version.

The updated spec file is at this URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pbsclusterviz/files/pbsclusterviz%200.7/pbsclusterviz.spec

I asked some questions in my last comment which unfortunately have gone unanswered.  Would you be able to comment on these please?

Kind regards,

Paul

Hello Paul,

i am a novice here just as you are , so i don't think  i can answer those questions. 


>Sorry, I don't know what you mean here.  root should own the files, right?  How >do I set the ownership properly?

chown? 

VM

I'll take this.  It appears you want to target EPEL as well.  What versions?

Hi Orion,

> I'll take this.  It appears you want to target EPEL as well.  What versions?

I think it would be best to target both EPEL5 and EPEL6.  What do I need to fix at this stage to get this package accepted.  If need be, I could forget about EPEL5 support and just concentrage on EPEL6.

Many thanks for your reply!

Kind regards,

Paul

First issue: error: %changelog not in descending chronological order

Also doesn't build:

RPM build errors:
error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pbsclusterviz-0.7a-py2.7.egg-info
    Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pbsclusterviz-0.7a-py2.7.egg-info


You might want to take a look at the current Python packaging guidelines:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python

although you're going to need to take care if you also want to support EPEL5 with the same spec file.

Build errors fixed in current (pre-)release (tag: pbsclusterviz-0.7a-4 on https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz).

Source: https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/archive/pbsclusterviz-0.7a-4.tar.gz
Spec file: https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/blob/master/rpm/pbsclusterviz.spec

I've decided to support only EPEL6 to remove the maintenance burden.

Many thanks for your help!

Kind regards,

Please publish URLs to the raw files and to src.rpm files.

Source url in spec still seems wrong:

spectool -g *spec

%{?dist} in %{release} is adding the .fc19.

(In reply to Orion Poplawski from comment #13)
> Source url in spec still seems wrong:

The URL should now be correct.  I've uploaded a tarball from "python
setup.py bdist" and this works after a fashion.  GitHub some does some
strange things with tarball names from releases and I've tried to make a
workable solution, however, spectool can't download the file with the
correct filename.  I apologise for this in advance.  I have also made a note
of this is the .spec file.

The .src.rpm is at this location:
https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz-0.7a-4.el6.src.rpm

The source tarball is at this location:
https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz-0.7a.tar.gz

Do I need to update the release number in the .spec file now that I've
changed it (albeit only slightly) again?

The updated .spec file is here:
https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/blob/master/rpm/pbsclusterviz.spec

If you wish, I could add this as part of the GitHub "release" so that it isn't such a moving target for you.

Kind regards,

Paul

The Source0 url in the src.rpm spec is still wrong:

Getting https://api.github.com/repos/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/pbsclusterviz-0.7a.tar.gz to ./pbsclusterviz-0.7a.tar.gz
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found

If you simply change the Source0 url to match the url for the .tar.gz you listed above it works fine, so I'm not sure what the trouble is.  But the Source0 in the spec always needs to be a working URL, or noted with instructions as to how to generate it.

No need to bump release for this, but I need to be working with a src.rpm and a spec file that are in sync.  Perhaps you just haven't regenerated the src.rpm?

> No need to bump release for this, but I need to be working with a src.rpm

> src.rpm?

Perhaps I forgot to regenerate the rpm as you say.  I *was* having several problems understanding how GitHub automated downloads work...

I've updated the links to the relevant files:

The .src.rpm is at this location:
https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz-0.7a-4.el6.src.rpm

The source tarball is at this location:
https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz-0.7a.tar.gz

The .spec file is here:
https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz.spec

Maybe it works this time?

warning: bogus date in %changelog: Fri Nov 7 2013 Paul Cochrane <paul> 0.7-4

Use:
%{python_sitelib}/pbsclusterviz-*.egg-info

so this works with different versions of python.

Also, doesn't look like you are owning %{python_sitelib}/pbsclusterviz/

Can you provide a python3 version as well?

> warning: bogus date in %changelog: Fri Nov 7 2013 Paul Cochrane
> <paul> 0.7-4

Now corrected in current version.

> Use:
> %{python_sitelib}/pbsclusterviz-*.egg-info

Also corrected.

> Also, doesn't look like you are owning %{python_sitelib}/pbsclusterviz/

I think I've now got this right.  After having read the packaging docs, I think I need the %dir command in order to create the pbsclusterviz dirs in order that they are owned by the package.  Please let me know if this isn't correct.

> Can you provide a python3 version as well?

I will put it on the TODO list.  Is it possible to get this package into EPEL/Fedora just for python 2.x?

Thanks again for your feedback!

Python 3 is optional still at this point, but be aware that we are targeting python 3 to be the default for F22, so the earlier the better: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python_3_as_Default
Post updated links when you are ready.

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

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated
[ ] = Manual review needed


Issues:
=======
- Package contains BR: python2-devel or python3-devel
You need to have BuildRequires: python2-devel

- Please fix the FSF address in the license.

- It looks like cluster_status is a GUI application and as such should have a .desktop file.

- cluster_status (and perhaps even gen_nodes_file) is too generic.  Please add a pbs (or pbs_) prefix.

- Drop BuildRoot and %clean unless you want to target epel5

- You only need to define python_sitelib, etc if you want to target epel5.  If you do, please use the form from the guidelines:

%if 0%{?rhel} && 0%{?rhel} <= 5
%{!?python_sitelib: %global python_sitelib %(%{__python} -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib())")}
%{!?python_sitearch: %global python_sitearch %(%{__python} -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib(1))")}
%endif

- Your changelog versions do not match the package version "0.7" vs "0.7a".

- You need to escape "%" in %changelog entries with another %, eg %%clean

Hi Orion,

my apologies for my late reply.

I've copied the text directly from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.txt.  The address check should hopefully work now.

I'll have to address this issue later.

This I will also fix later.  Actually, that was the reason why I put these configuration files in /etc/pbsclusterviz.d to start with.  Should I change the file names anyway?

BuildRoot and %clean have been dropped.  The rpms should target epel6.

Have removed python_sitelib definition.

The version numbers should now match correctly.

%clean in changelog escaped with extra %.

The SRCRPM, SPEC and distribution tarball are at the usual location:

 - https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz-0.7a-4.el6.src.rpm
 - https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz-0.7a.tar.gz
 - https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz.spec

I will get around to the other issues as soon as possible.

Thanks again for your help!

Cheers,

Paul

My apologies, I misunderstood what you meant.  You are correct, the names cluster_status and gen_nodes_file are too generic.  It would be a good idea to change cluster_status to pbs_cluster_status.  I'll have to think of a good alternative name for gen_nodes_file though.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Orion,

I've addressed the points you raised in Comment #21.  

The SRCRPM, SPEC and distribution tarball are at the usual location:

 - https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz-0.7a-4.el6.src.rpm
 - https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz-0.7a.tar.gz
 - https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz.spec

Thanks,

Paul

- You didn't bump release and add a new changelog entry for these changes.  I guess this hasn't be explicit, but I want it for any change to the spec.

- You only need to run desktop-file-install, not both it and desktop-file-validate, it will validate the desktop file.

- If you wanted, you could just do:

# desktop files
%{datadir}/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/
%{_datadir}/applications/pbsclusterviz.desktop

up to you.

- You need to update the icon cache: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Icon_Cache

Sorry about that; have corrected this issue in the current update.

I've removed desktop-file-validate

Have simplified these statements as recommended.

I've added the relevant %post* commands.  Hopefully they are in the correct location in the .spec file such that the %install, %file, etc. sections are in the expected order.

The updated tarball, RPMs and spec file are at the following locations:
  - https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz-0.7a.tar.gz
  - https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz-0.7a-5.el6.noarch.rpm
  - https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz-0.7a-5.el6.src.rpm
  - https://github.com/paultcochrane/pbsclusterviz/releases/download/v0.7a/pbsclusterviz.spec

Thanks again!

Paul

- Traditionally the %post* command come after %check (or %install if no %check) and before %files, but not a big deal.  

Otherwise, looks good.  APPROVED.

Paul - are you still around?

> Paul - are you still around?

Hi Orion.  Yes, what's up?

You're package has been approved, so presumably you want to file a new package SCM request: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_SCM_admin_requests#New_Packages and build it.

Oops.  Seem to have overlooked that.  I guess I thought that since things were approved, that there wasn't much more to do.

Unfortunately, I work at a new company now and no longer have access to the computers running PBS in order to run and test the software.  Also, since I no longer work there, development of pbsclusterviz has stopped.  I'm really sorry to say that it's probably best to close this ticket as "wontfix" or whatever.  Unfortunately, I don't see much of a future for pbsclusterviz at present.

I really, really appreciate the help and support you gave me!  Many thanks!

Kind regards,

Paul

No problem, thanks for the info.  Best wishes.
