Description Dr. Tilmann Bubeck 2014-05-14 22:55:21 UTC
Spec URL: http://bubeck.fedorapeople.org/vdr-vnsiserver5.spec
SRPM URL: http://bubeck.fedorapeople.org/vdr-vnsiserver5-1.0.0-1.fc20.src.rpm
Description: 

This is a plugin for VDR, the video disk recorder. It is very similar to the existing package vdr-vnsiserver3, which I already maintain for Fedora.

The difference is, that it offers protocol version 5 which is needed for XBMC 13. The existing package offers protocol version 3 which is used by XBMC 12. So depending on the XBMC version used, the user has to choose the appropriate package. Because XBMC and VDR can run on different machines, we have to maintain both versions, therefore two packages.

The SPEC is closely modelled after the existing vdr-vnsiserver3, no great changes.

And here is the rpmlint output:

So only false positives....

Comment 2 Mohamed El Morabity 2014-05-19 12:24:54 UTC
I will review your package.

Comment 3 Mohamed El Morabity 2014-05-19 12:45:15 UTC
Github provides a convenient way to retrieve online a source tarball for a given commit:

%global git_hash       031f69bd8844af38dac78f403c197bcb96c9a43a
%global short_git_hash  %%(c=%%{git_hash}; echo ${c:0:7})
[...]
Source:        https://github.com/FernetMenta/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver/archive/%{short_git_hash}/%{name}-%{short_git_hash}.tar.gz
[...]
%prep
%setup -q -n vdr-plugin-vnsiserver-%{git_hash}


By the way, upstream has just released two days ago a new 1.1.0 release (see https://github.com/FernetMenta/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver/commit/7d4aa813cc54431151e9120f2080f00251e9cf48). Notice that no tag was created for this release on Github. You should ask upstream to create a tag for further release, to make easier packaging and updates tracking.


It looks like upstream also improved well the way the plugin is build and deployed through Makefile. As a result, the %build and %install sections can be simplified as below:

%build
make %{?_smp_mflags} CFLAGS="-fPIC %optflags" CXXFLAGS="-fPIC %{optflags}"

%install
%make_install
install -dm 755 %{buildroot}%{vdr_configdir}/plugins/%{plugin_name}
install -Dpm 644 %{plugin_name}/* %{buildroot}%{vdr_configdir}/plugins/%{plugin_name}/


I really wonder if it's worth naming the package vdr-vnsiserver5:
- the project name doesn't refer anymore to the protocol version (see https://github.com/FernetMenta/vdr-plugin-vnsiserver/commit/6ff29b7149a1a522804c0cd1877f1d2b5148d4d2)
- upstream officialy published about the protocol stabilization, and the renaming from vdr-vnsiserver5 to vdr-vnsiserver (see http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=189793).
As a result, you should rename the package to vdr-vnsiserver.

Comment 4 Dr. Tilmann Bubeck 2014-05-19 18:35:40 UTC
thanks for your input and valuable feedback.

I updated to 1.1.0 and changed the package name and SPEC to your proposal. Here is the update:

Spec URL: http://bubeck.fedorapeople.org/vdr-vnsiserver.spec
SRPM URL: http://bubeck.fedorapeople.org/vdr-vnsiserver-1.1.0-1.fc20.src.rpm

vdr-vnsiserver and vdr-vnsiserver3 both share the same plugin directory and th e same configuration file (/etc/vdr/plugins/vnsiserver/allowed_hosts). Moreover, they can't run together in VDR. I suggest adding the line below to your .spec:
   Conflicts: vdr-vnsiserver3
Such a conflict is accepted according to the guidelines (see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts#Compat_Package_Conflicts).
Once the Conflicts clause added, I will approve your package.
