Comment 1 Christopher Meng 2014-02-20 08:49:07 UTC
I think for this part, we need to update the guideline:

%dir %{octpkgdir}
%{octpkgdir}/*.m

Just

%{octpkgdir}/

Looking forward to your opinion.

Thanks.

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2014-02-20 22:37:57 UTC
Well, I think the original concern was to not list %doc %{octpkgdir}/doc-cache twice - but I don't think it really matters.  Just tested on F20 and EL6 and it seems to work.  Also, some of the items in packinfo used to be marked %doc as well, but octave complains if they are removed so the are not really %doc.  Simplifying to %{octpkgdir}/ is probably good at this point.

Do we need to update the guideline, any better ways of octave packaging or minor issues need to be take care so far?

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

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


Issues:
=======
- Package does not contain duplicates in %files.
  Note: warning: File listed twice: /usr/share/octave/packages/netcdf-1.0.2
  /doc-cache
  See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#DuplicateFiles
- If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in
  its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the
  package is included in %doc.
  Note: Cannot find COPYING in rpm(s)
  See:
  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#License_Text


===== MUST items =====

Generic:
[x]: Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets
     other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging
     Guidelines.

     Note: Checking patched sources after %prep for licenses. Licenses found:
     "GPL (v2 or later)", "Unknown or generated". 5 files have unknown
     license. Detailed output of licensecheck:

For issue 1, do you have any idea(my bad :))?

For issue 2, is it allowed(not a blocker though)?

Others are fine.

Comment 6 Orion Poplawski 2014-02-25 04:41:49 UTC
- Duplicate files - that is why it was done the way it was.
- COPYING gets installed to:

/usr/share/octave/packages/netcdf-1.0.2/packinfo/COPYING

not the normal location - but it is there and no need to duplicate it.


So at this point I would just go with the -1 version.
