Comment 1 Christopher Meng 2014-08-10 02:10:20 UTC
The reason I didn't put it up to the queue is that this is a dead project, maybe upstream will move to other alternatives.

I hope you can understand. I can review this one, but I want to get the future development schedule of sqlb first.

Thanks.

Comment 2 Sandro Mani 2014-08-10 11:28:19 UTC
I see. I guess [1] would be an alternative, though Qt5 only. Is there somewhere where one can follow the upstream discussion?

Comment 3 Sandro Mani 2014-08-19 17:10:00 UTC
Hi Christopher,

What do you think about continuing with this regardless of the qhexedit situation? I think the sqlitemanager is a really nice tool to have, and personally I'm not overly concerned about the qhexedit project being dead (it is by far not the only one), since it seems to work just fine. If you know that upstream has plans to migrate away from it, we could also ask for a bundling exception.

Thanks

Comment 4 Lubomir Rintel 2014-12-12 14:21:21 UTC
This seems rather nicely packaged.

* Named correctly
- Not sure about version/release & the upstream source (see below)
- Not sure about the license tag (see below)
- License file not shipped in main package (see below)
* SPEC file clean and legible
* Builds fine in mock
- Documentation bundles jquery (see below)
* Filelist sane
* Dependencies sane

0.) You seem to be packaging a SCM snapshot

Please follow the release tag guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Snapshot_packages

1.) Please pinpoint the source file to a particular SVN revision

Use -r option with svn in your source comment.

2.) Why is the license tag LGPLv2+?

A LGPLv2 license text is shipped, but it's unclear what it applies to. Upstream needs to clarify that license applies (preferrably in source code), whether it's LGPLv2 or LGPLv2+.

3.) Please remove copy of jquery from documentation package

Use packaged version if needed.

4.) Please add license text to main package

Not just the -doc subpackage.

Comment 5 Lubomir Rintel 2014-12-12 14:29:41 UTC
Also you may consider making the -doc subpackage noarch.

Done

> 2.) Why is the license tag LGPLv2+?
Right, the + should not be there...

> A LGPLv2 license text is shipped, but it's unclear what it applies to. Upstream needs to clarify that license applies (preferrably in source code), whether it's LGPLv2 or LGPLv2+.
I think using LGPLv2 is the correct thing to do.

> 3.) Please remove copy of jquery from documentation package
According to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries:
Temporary exception for anything to bundle jquery.
-> Added Provides: bundled(jquery) to -doc

> 4.) Please add license text to main package
> Not just the -doc subpackage.
The main package gets it via dependency on -libs.

> Also you may consider making the -doc subpackage noarch.
Uhm, already is?:)
