Comment 1 Pete Travis 2013-11-15 06:09:53 UTC
Something's gone wrong with the SRPM! try another upload?

> Something's gone wrong with the SRPM! try another upload?

You can try again at the same URLs now.

My internet connection is fuzzy now...(saw your email for already 30 mins but just can open this page.)

Comment 3 Pete Travis 2013-11-22 17:20:31 UTC
There's no documentation or license included in the tarball or package. Have you brought this concern upstream?

Comment 4 Christopher Meng 2013-11-26 02:25:14 UTC
I've contacted upstream and they released a new tarball on pypi with license included.

Comment 5 Pete Travis 2014-01-26 23:02:07 UTC
This is a review *template*. Besides handling the [ ]-marked tests you are
also supposed to fix the template before pasting into bugzilla:
- Add issues you find to the list of issues on top. If there isn't such
  a list, create one.
- Add your own remarks to the template checks.
- Add new lines marked [!] or [?] when you discover new things not
  listed by fedora-review.
- Change or remove any text in the template which is plain wrong. In this
  case you could also file a bug against fedora-review
- Remove the "[ ] Manual check required", you will not have any such lines
  in what you paste.
- Remove attachments which you deem not really useful (the rpmlint
  ones are mandatory, though)
- Remove this text

Comment 6 Pete Travis 2014-01-26 23:02:26 UTC
Hey Christopher, sorry this dropped off my radar for a while.

You could probably strip the shebang from bbcode.py; not a blocker, but `rpmlint` complains.

Other than that, it looks like you've put together a compliant, sane package.

I did review them, sorry about that. Will post a more comprehensive review soon.

Great!

What this item on the list means is: The fedora-review tool found directories in the package, which are owned by other packages already. That refers to the following part of the guidelines:

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#The_directory_is_also_owned_by_a_package_implementing_required_functionality_of_your_package

>      -- Owns it's own files in cited directories,

It should _not_ own /usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/__pycache__ because that one belongs into python3-libs already.

Co-ownership of directories can become a problem, if one package messes up the file access permissions, for example. That's why the guidelines still try to reduce co-ownership to the exceptional cases: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#The_directory_is_owned_by_a_package_which_is_not_required_for_your_package_to_function

[...]

Not related to the Review Guidelines, but to:

My alternative suggestion that also eliminates the lower-case spelling of everything:

  Summary: BBCode parser and formatter written in Python

My thinking here was that the "__pycache__"" directory wasn't present in the source tarball, and was claimed via the "%{python3_sitelib}/*" glob, so it was a result of the build process and safe to glob, similar to the py2 glob that didn't throw a warning or even pyc,pyo files that aren't shipped but generated. I'll read up on this, and certainly remember it.

Christopher, please adjust for this.

I prefer your suggestion too, but the existing summary matches upstream.

Comment 12 Charalampos Stratakis 2016-09-26 15:30:33 UTC
Project is still active upstream:
https://github.com/dcwatson/bbcode

Is there still a desire to package it for fedora?

Comment 13 Package Review 2020-07-11 00:46:52 UTC
This is an automatic action taken by review-stats script.

The ticket submitter failed to clear the NEEDINFO flag in a month.
As per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_stalled_package_reviews
we consider this ticket as DEADREVIEW and proceed to close it.
