Description Christopher Meng 2014-07-03 09:30:02 UTC
Spec URL: http://us-la.cicku.me/scheme48.spec
SRPM URL: http://us-la.cicku.me/scheme48-1.9.2-1.fc21.src.rpm
Description: Scheme 48 is an implementation of the Scheme programming language as described in the Revised 5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme. It is
based on a compiler and interpreter for a virtual Scheme machine. Scheme 48
tries to be faithful to the Revised 5 Scheme Report, providing neither more 
nor less in the initial user environment.

The name ‘Scheme 48’ commemorates our having written the original version
in forty-eight hours, on August 6th and 7th, 1986.

Comment 1 Jerry James 2014-07-03 19:17:41 UTC
I will ignore the warnings about -devel files being in a non-devel package,
since this really is a -devel package.

Issues:
1. I see warnings in the build log about breaking strict aliasing rules when
   compiling c/r6rs/ieee_bytevect.c.  This means that, to be safe, that file
   must be patched or compiled with -fno-strict-aliasing.  Otherwise, the
   optimizer may emit code that does not behave as expected.  (I have actually
   patched code that looks very much like this in other packages, and had the
   patches accepted upstream.  Let me know if you'd like me to produce a patch
   for this issue.)
2. Consider splitting the documentation out into a -doc subpackage.
3. Multiple files are installed into %{_includedir}, including some that are
   not .h files.  Consider moving those to a subdirectory, say
   /usr/include/scheme48.  (This would also require patching the scheme48
   compiler, of course.)
4. The license is identified as GPLv3+, but I do not think that is correct.
   Here is a breakdown of the various licenses in play, corresponding to the
   list in COPYING:
   - The main license is BSD (New BSD).
   - The bignum code is BSD (New BSD).
   - The code in c/free.c is MIT (Modern Style with sublicense).
   - The autoconf files, mkinstalldirs, INSTALL, and install-sh are not part
     of the binary distribution.  We can ignore them for license purposes.
   - c/srfi-27.c carries no license information that I can find.  This could
     be a problem, unless license information is available elsewhere.
   - Files in scheme/srfi:
     o Identified as part of scheme48, so BSD: packages.scm, srfi-2.scm,
       srfi-4.scm, srfi-5.scm, srfi-7.scm, srfi-13-check.scm,
       srfi-14-char-sets.scm, srfi-14-check.scm, srfi-17.scm,
       srfi-19-check.scm, srfi-39.scm, srfi-66.scm, srfi-74.scm, srfi-95.scm,
       srfi-95-check.scm, test-packages.scm
     o MIT (all Modern Style with sublicense): srfi-11.scm, srfi-14.scm,
       srfi-16.scm, srfi-19.scm, srfi-25.scm, srfi-27.scm, srfi-28.scm,
       srfi-40.scm, srfi-42.scm, srfi-45.scm, srfi-61.scm, srfi-63.scm,
       srfi-67.scm, srfi-71.scm, srfi-78.scm
     o Public Domain: srfi-26.scm, srfi-43.scm
     o srfi-1.scm: I don't know what to call this, maybe check with
       fedora-legal on the name to give it.
     o srfi-13.scm: MIT and BSD
     o srfi-14-base-char-sets.scm: generated file
     o srfi-37.scm: BSD
     o srfi-60.scm: MIT and MIT with advertising
   - scheme/sort code
     o Most are similar to srfi-1.scm; check with fedora-legal on the name.
     o Public Domain: sortp.scm, vbinsearch.scm
     o test-packages.scm: part of scheme48, so BSD
     o vhsort.scm, vqsort2.scm: "open source", may need fedora-legal input on
       these ones, too
   - Basis Technology Corp. code, covered by main scheme48 license (BSD)
   - tex2page files: I don't see them in the distribution.

   Whew!  So I think the license needs to be "BSD and MIT and MIT with
   advertising and Public Domain and <whatever the unknown licenses are
   called>", and a license for c/srfi-27.c needs to be identified.
5. The directory %{_libdir}/scheme48-%{version} is owned by this package, but
   the directory %{_libdir}/scheme48 is not.  Are both really needed?  Can
   they be consolidated?
6. See the first item in the SHOULD section.  Maybe that Requires should be
   filtered?
7. Can a %check section be added?  I see a check target in Makefile.in.
8. Can the noarch parts of the package be split out into a noarch subpackage?
   See the note under "EXTRA items" below.
9. There are various warnings by rpmlint that should be addressed, namely:
   o The package name is repeated in the summary.
   o The word "described" is hyphenated in the description.  It's probably
     better not to do that, and let consuming packages figure out how to
     hyphenate words if the available horizontal space is insufficient.
   o Check the missing-call-to-setgroups warning on posix.so.  Is that a
     legitimate warning?
   o Some files are not UTF-8.
   o Check the wrong-script-interpreter and non-executable-script warnings.
