Description MartinKG 2014-01-20 20:16:36 UTC
Description: 
This plugin integrates multicast IPTV transport streams seamlessly into
VDR. You can use any IPTV channel like any other normal DVB channel for
live viewing, recording, etc. The plugin also features full section
filtering capabilities which allow for example EIT information to be
extracted from the incoming stream.

Comment 1 Mohamed El Morabity 2014-02-03 16:04:49 UTC
Some comments:

- same issue than in vdr-tvguide review: since the package is written in C++, and since the CXXFLAGS variable is handled by the plugin Makefile, you must also set CXXFLAGS when calling make, to keep consistency on build flags:
    make CFLAGS="%{optflags}" CXXFLAGS="%{optflags}" ...
  You should even add -fPIC to both CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to handle build issues on x86_64 platforms.

- the scripts deployed in %{vdr_configdir}/plugins/iptv/ can be called from channels.conf when an IPTV channel is selected from VDR. Most of them are demo scripts; they must be modified/copied to fit users' needs. I wonder if it's worth marking them as %config(noreplace) so these scripts wouldn't be overwritten by further updates if they were modified. Notice it's not a must, only a suggestion.

- among those scripts, vlc2iptv contains a bad path to channels.conf. This script should probably be modified to refer to the right path to channels.conf, as defined by Fedora:

%prep
%setup -q -n %{vdr_plugin}-%{version}

# Fix paths in plugin scripts
sed -i "s|^CHANNELS_CONF=.*|CHANNELS_CONF=%{vdr_configdir}/channels.conf|; \
        s|^CHANNEL_SETTINGS_DIR=.*/iptv|CHANNEL_SETTINGS_DIR=%{vdr_configdir}/plugins/%{vdr_plugin}|" \
        iptv/vlc2iptv

Comment 3 Mohamed El Morabity 2014-02-03 16:37:41 UTC
The plugin doesn't rely on gettext libraries to handle locales. Only xgettext and msgmerge executables (from gettext package) are called by Makefile to build .mo files. As a result, replacing gettext-devel by gettext in BuildRequires may be enough to handle locales at compilation.

I don't think a sysconfig file for iptv is really useful:
- the plugin documentation doesn't mention any launch options to set up the plugin at VDR launch;
- I didn't find any reference to launch options in the source code.
So you can probably drop the iptv.conf file installation.

Since these files are intended to be modified, I think they should be marked as %config(noreplace), on the contrary.

hope this is correct now

This is acceptable. Those scripts must be executable by the plugin.

It looks like the last .spec and the .src.rpm files you posted lost all the fixes I suggested before:
- missing -fPIC in compilation flags (see comment #1)
- iptv.conf still installed (see #3)
- BR on gettext-devel still there (see #3)
Could you please upload an updated .spec file with all the fixes above? Don't forget also to add %config(noreplace) for all the scripts.
I will then review (at last!) your package.

sorry for my mistake, new spec and srpm uploaded.

No, it's not useful, it's completely empty! One way to fix it:

-make CFLAGS="%{optflags} -fPIC" CXXFLAGS="%{optflags} -fPIC" %{?_smp_mflags} all
+make CFLAGS="%{optflags} -fPIC" CXXFLAGS="%{optflags} -fPIC" STRIP=: %{?_smp_mflags} all
