Review Request: makepp - Compatible but reliable and improved replacement for make
Last modified: 2014-07-15 20:43:11 EDT
Spec URL: http://cicku.me/makepp.spec SRPM URL: http://cicku.me/makepp-2.0.98.3.1-1.fc21.src.rpm Description: Makepp, a build program which has a number of features that allow for reliable builds and simpler build files, is a drop-in replacement for GNU make. It supports almost all of the syntax that GNU make supports, and can be used with makefiles produced by utilities such as automake. It is called makepp (or make++) because it was designed with special support for C++, which has since been extended to other languages like Swig or embedded SQL. Also its relationship to make is analogous to C++'s relationship to C: it is almost 100% backward compatible but adds a number of new features and much better ways to write makefiles.

The source URL is invalid. There is no version 2.0.98.3.1 on the server. Please fix this so I can know which version I'm reviewing. To match what LICENSE says, the License field should be "GPLv2+ or Artistic". If I understand correctly, "touch .test_done" ignores any and all failures in the whole test suite. That makes the %check section rather pointless. Why run the tests at all if you're going to ignore the result? If the "makeppreplay" test is known to fail, wouldn't it be better to disable only that one test? Anyway, I don't believe that test case has anything to do with Ccache. I can't see that anything in Makepp invokes Ccache, and it fails with the same error message whether I have Ccache installed or not.

Not it invokes that, but the gcc actually maybe(haven't checked again) I will provide new links later as something unexpected happened.
Due to ccache bug[1], I can't build this package. Closing now. If someone is interested at this package, feel free to open a new ticket. [1]---https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8424
