Description Tom "spot" Callaway 2013-05-30 16:44:37 UTC
Spec URL: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/libxdiff.spec
SRPM URL: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/libxdiff-1.0-1.fc19.src.rpm
Description: 
The LibXDiff library implements basic and yet complete functionalities to
create file differences/patches to both binary and text files. The library
uses memory files as file abstraction to achieve both performance and
portability. For binary files, LibXDiff implements both (with some
modification) the algorithm described in File System Support for Delta
Compression by Joshua P. MacDonald, and the algorithm described in
Fingerprinting By Random Polynomials by Michael O. Rabin. While for text
files it follows directives described in An O(ND) Difference Algorithm
and Its Variations by Eugene W. Myers.

This is a merged fork of the forks of the original libxdiff (0.23) found
in the git and libgit2 source code, converted into a shared library.

Hi Tom,

I cannot download Source0. Are you able? I will try later today, might be a problem with github server.

Cheers

Try using wget, if you try that link in a browser, it may not work.

Comment 3 Douglas Schilling Landgraf 2013-05-30 22:11:13 UTC
Hi Tom,

It worked now. Reviewed manually + fedora-review tool.

[OK] MUST: rpmlint must be run on the source rpm and all binary rpms the build produces. The output should be posted in the review

Rpmlint
-------
Checking: libxdiff-1.0-1.fc18.x86_64.rpm
          libxdiff-devel-1.0-1.fc18.x86_64.rpm
libxdiff.x86_64: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US functionalities -> functionalists, functionality, functionalist
libxdiff-devel.x86_64: W: no-documentation
2 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings.

Rpmlint (installed packages)
----------------------------
# rpmlint libxdiff-devel libxdiff
libxdiff-devel.x86_64: W: no-documentation
libxdiff.x86_64: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US functionalities -> functionalists, functionality, functionalist
2 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings.

Above warnings can be ignored.

[OK] MUST: The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines

[OK] MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec unless your package has an exemption.

[OK] MUST: The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the Licensing Guidelines

[OK] MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license.

[OK] MUST: The spec file must be written in American English

[OK] MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible

[OK] MUST: The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source, as provided in the spec URL. Reviewers should use sha256sum for this task as it is used by the sources file once imported into git. If no upstream URL can be specified for this package, please see the Source URL Guidelines for how to deal with this.

  CHECKSUM(SHA256) this package     : 667751e2e11971765a421d8d20e038ee2d4122d784ccf8da479cf6f578252159

[OK] MUST: The package MUST successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at least one primary architecture

[OK] MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any that are listed in the exceptions section of the Packaging Guidelines ; inclusion of those as BuildRequires is optional. Apply common sense.

[OK] MUST: Every binary RPM package (or subpackage) which stores shared library files (not just symlinks) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths, must call ldconfig in %post and %postun.

[OK] MUST: Packages must NOT bundle copies of system libraries

[OK] MUST: A Fedora package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files listings

[OK] MUST: Each package must consistently use macros.

[OK] MUST: Development files must be in a -devel package.

[OK] MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be removed in the spec if they are built.

[OK] MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8.


[OK] SHOULD: Packager, Vendor, PreReq, Copyright tags should not be in spec file

[OK] SHOULD: Sources can be downloaded from URI in Source: tag

[OK] SHOULD: Reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.

[OK] SHOULD: Buildroot is not present

[OK] SHOULD: Package functions as described.

[OK] SHOULD: Latest version is packaged.

[OK] SHOULD: Package has no %clean section with rm -rf %{buildroot} (or
     $RPM_BUILD_ROOT)
