Description Björn 'besser82' Esser 2014-05-04 15:41:30 UTC
Description:

  This is expat, the C library for parsing XML, written by James Clark.
  Expat is a stream oriented XML parser.  This means that you register
  handlers with the parser prior to starting the parse.  These handlers
  are called when the parser discovers the associated structures in the
  document being parsed.  A start tag is an example of the kind of
  structures for which you may register handlers.

Additional Information:

  This review is a review for an EPEL compatibility-package.
  Expat >= 2.1.0 is a dependency needed for building Python3.


Thanks for review in advance!

Comment 1 Michael Schwendt 2014-05-04 16:37:33 UTC
> fedora-review shows no obvious issues.  rpmlint is silent.

Does '==' in the following lines really work fine?

Provides:		%{orig_name}		== %{version}-%{release}

Requires:		%{name}			== %{version}-%{release}
Provides:		%{orig_name}-devel	== %{version}-%{release}

Comment 2 Michael Schwendt 2014-05-04 16:41:05 UTC
In the koji builds it has been replaced with '='. Could be a feature of rpmbuild.

Comment 3 Björn 'besser82' Esser 2014-05-04 17:12:52 UTC
Updated Koji Builds, because of slight in-place improvement to spec:

Yes, that is a feature of rpmbuild; ask Florian from the rpm-maintainers over @redhat  ;)  I usually use those `==` for cosmetic reasons compared to `>=` or `<=`.  To me, from my programmer's pov it looks more comparison style.  :D

Comment 5 Christian Dersch 2014-05-04 19:51:42 UTC
Taken :)

Comment 6 Christian Dersch 2014-05-05 08:58:16 UTC
Review done, looks fine :)

Comment 7 Christian Dersch 2014-05-05 09:02:11 UTC
Forgot to comment:

Issues:
=======
- EPEL5: Package requires pkgconfig, if .pc files are present.
- EPEL5: Package does run rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT) at the
  beginning of %install.

=> The spec contains the lines
%{?el5:%clean}
%{?el5:rm -rf %{buildroot}}

=> Should be fine
