Comment 1 Ralf Corsepius 2014-02-18 04:38:02 UTC
This section from you spec longs for an explanation:
...
%if (0%{?fedora} >= 12 || 0%{?rhel} >= 6)
BuildRequires: glibc-static
%endif
...

I fail to see why this package would require static linking against libc.

Comment 2 Dan Horák 2014-02-18 07:53:16 UTC
You can modernize your specs unless you need to support EL-5
- drop BuildRoot tag
- drop %clean section
- remove the rm -rf "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" command in %install
- drop %defattr in %files
rpm itself cares for this.

Comment 3 Kamil Dudka 2014-02-18 08:40:43 UTC
Thanks for your comments on this review request!

csmock copies the resulting (cscppc, cswrap) binaries into mock chroot, which may contain an older (e.g. RHEL-5) version of glibc, and they would not dynamically link against the old version of glibc if they were built against a newer one.  I will put there a comment to make it obvious.

Those were added on purpose, as we do build the packages for RHEL-5.  We even patch Boost libraries to make the package compile and work properly on RHEL-5.

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/codescan-diff.git/commit/?id=433e0507

But it should not be a big deal to maintain the RHEL-5 spec file separately...

if RHEL-5 is supported by the tools then it's fine to have the now obsoleted stuff in the spec, definitely no need to create a RHEL-5 specific spec.

Well, I still do not understand. Why would csmock do so?
What does csmock do, that it requires such an ugly step?

Comment 6 Kamil Dudka 2014-02-19 14:24:40 UTC
csmock is a mock-based tool for fully automated analysis of RPM packages.  User only specifies a mock profile and list of analyzers to use.  cscppc and cswrap are compiler wrappers that csmock uses internally.  They need to be available in the chroot.  In order to make it easy for the user, csmock copies the binaries from the host.  Otherwise we would need to install them using yum and it would be user's responsibility to put a yum repo with those packages into mock config.

You can find a high-level overview of how these tools work in this presentation:

Comment 7 Kamil Dudka 2014-02-19 16:29:37 UTC
I have added an explanation why we link glibc statically.

Spec URL: http://kdudka.fedorapeople.org/cscppc/cscppc.spec
SRPM URL: http://kdudka.fedorapeople.org/cscppc/cscppc-1.0.2-1.el6.src.rpm

Comment 8 Kamil Dudka 2014-03-10 14:46:51 UTC
I have abandoned RHEL-5 compatibility and removed the obsolete for cppcheck-gcc, which has never been an official Fedora package:

Spec URL: http://kdudka.fedorapeople.org/cscppc/cscppc.spec
SRPM URL: http://kdudka.fedorapeople.org/cscppc/cscppc-1.0.2-2.el6.src.rpm

Comment 9 Mukundan Ragavan 2014-03-10 15:36:50 UTC
This looks fine to me. I am reading a bit on the static links - other than that, I do not think I have any issue. I will approve it soon ...

Comment 10 Mukundan Ragavan 2014-03-10 16:55:22 UTC
According to the packaging guidelines, I think this needs FESCO approval since there is a statically linked executable.

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

Can you please take care of this?

Comment 11 Kamil Dudka 2014-03-11 20:39:54 UTC
Sure.  I have filed a FESCO ticket:
