Description:
Xombrero is a minimalist web browser with sophisticated security features
designed-in, rather than through an add-on after-the-fact. In particular, it
provides both persistent and per-session controls for scripts and cookies,
making it easy to thwart tracking and scripting attacks. In addition to
providing a familiar mouse-based interface like other web browsers, it
offers a set of vi-like keyboard commands for users who prefer to keep their
hands on their keyboard.

Have you packaged it for fedora already? I didn't find it in pkgs. Something I missed?

Comment 3 Christopher Meng 2013-09-28 23:15:44 UTC
No, I haven't submitted to the review because of no time. Please go ahead.

Alright, let me know in case you're interested in co-maintaining it (unless you're provenpackager already :) )

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

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


Issues:
=======
- Package installs a %{name}.desktop using desktop-file-install or desktop-
  file-validate if there is such a file.
  Please add a desktop-file-validate command
  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#desktop-file-install_usage

- update-desktop-database is invoked in %post and %postun if package contains
  desktop file(s) with a MimeType: entry.
  Note: desktop file(s) with MimeType entry in xombrero
  See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#desktop-
  database

- Compilation uses also source file 'xombrero-1.6.3/js-merge-helper.pl' that is released
  with MIT license, like so License-JavaScript seems to me a MIT.
  Also, there is a "Combined Dual and Multiple Licensing Scenario" since License-tld-rules for 'tld-rules' file is licensed with a multiple license (MPLv1.1 or GPLv2+ or LGPLv2+). 
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#Combined_Dual_and_Multiple_Licensing_Scenario
  'style.css' file is released with a CC-BY-SA license (see https://opensource.conformal.com/wiki/xombrero#style.css_license), 
  it's missing in the package.

  Please fix License tag that, in my opinion, is 
  
        ISC and MIT and CC-BY-SA and (MPLv1.1 or GPLv2+ or LGPLv2+)

- %defattr present but not needed. Please, remove its line.

- %{_datadir}/%{name} directory must be owned by the package

- Make file does not honor applicable compiler flags
  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Compiler_flags and 
  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:RPMMacros#Build_flags_macros_and_variables
  
  Please, patch the Make file in order to use all flags correctly.

Comment 7 Christopher Meng 2013-09-30 07:10:29 UTC
You can add me as maintainer. ;) But I won't do any updates unless you forget to update it in 3 weeks.

My review:

1. I hope you can add comments of these 4 license sources that indicates where do they come from.

2. 
%dir %attr(755,root,root) %{_datadir}/%{name}
%{_datadir}/%{name}/hsts-preload
%{_datadir}/%{name}/style.css
%{_datadir}/%{name}/tld-rules
%{_datadir}/%{name}/tordisabled.ico
%{_datadir}/%{name}/torenabled.ico
%{_datadir}/%{name}/%{name}.css
%{_datadir}/%{name}/%{name}icon128.png
%{_datadir}/%{name}/%{name}icon16.png
%{_datadir}/%{name}/%{name}icon32.png
%{_datadir}/%{name}/%{name}icon48.png
%{_datadir}/%{name}/%{name}icon64.png


Why not 

%{_datadir}/%{name}

?

3. Looking into source code again.

(i)
In makefile install section, no install -p option available, please notify upstream and include the patch in your patch0.

(ii)
In makefile:

-----------

all: javascript.h tooltip.h xombrero

javascript.h: ../js-merge-helper.pl ../hinting.js ../autoscroll.js
	perl ../js-merge-helper.pl ../hinting.js ../input-focus.js \
	../autoscroll.js > javascript.h

tooltip.h: ../ascii2txt.pl ../txt2tooltip.pl ../xombrero.1
	nroff -c -Tascii -mandoc ../xombrero.1 | \
	perl ../ascii2txt.pl | \
	perl ../txt2tooltip.pl > tooltip.h

-----------

[rpmaker@fab SPECS]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/nroff
groff-base-1.22.2-7.fc20.i686

Missing BRs? Not sure becasue if I yum removed it will cause removing perl package itself.

(iii)
In makefile again and again ;)

-----------
LIBS= glib-2.0

> [omit]

LIBS+= libsoup-2.4 gnutls libbsd

-----------

Missing BR of libsoup-devel and gnutls-devel?(This is added in my spec, I just commented here)

4. Should we also build against webkitgtk2?

Thanks for your cooperation, Christopher.

Please, post both SPEC link and SRPM link as soon as your changes have been performed also according to Christopher points.

Yup. Sure thing. Apologies this has been delayed a lot. But if anyone would like to take ownership of this, I can transfer it.
