2 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 4 warnings.

Notes:
- Upstream has tasked me with submitting and maintaining this package in Fedora and EPEL
- Most of the spec file was taken from upstream, and has been designed to be as cross-platform as possible. It would be appreciated if it could remain as close to the original as possible while still adhering to Fedora packaging specs.

Comment 1 Christopher Meng 2014-11-03 06:17:52 UTC
Why did you still leave rpmlint unhappy?

Comment 2 Christopher Meng 2014-11-03 06:18:51 UTC
*** Bug 1006116 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 3 Scott K Logan 2014-11-03 07:34:57 UTC
Thanks for linking to the other review request, Christopher. I meant to do so, but it must have slipped my mind.

Also, I'm not the one who submitted that package initially, and I do not require a sponsor. I am already POC on multiple packages and have commit to many more.

The single error that rpmlint reports regarding the /var/lib/waagent directory will need an exception. The agent stores vital information in that directory, and the authors of the tool have removed global read rights intentionally.

I see many other directories in /var/lib/ with those permissions, so I didn't think it would be a problem. If it is, however, I'll need to bring it up with upstream to find a solution that is acceptable by all.

Thanks again for taking a look,

--scott

Comment 4 Rich Mattes 2014-11-26 18:11:43 UTC
I can handle this review.  There are a bunch of good review comments in the previous review bug that apply to this review as well: specifically the ones relating to the python packaging guidelines at www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python

I'll start tp work on a more thorough review.

Comment 6 Scott K Logan 2014-12-21 00:42:45 UTC
Okay, I'm starting to see that re-factoring the sample spec is not going to work. At this rate, we will have modified the entire thing just to meet packaging specifications.

I made a spec from scratch that should conform.

Spec URL: https://cottsay.fedorapeople.org/WALinuxAgent2/WALinuxAgent.spec
SRPM URL: https://cottsay.fedorapeople.org/WALinuxAgent2/WALinuxAgent-2.0.11-1.fc22.src.rpm

Notes:
- %config without (noreplace) implies replace. You can't actually specify (replace) with %config. In any case, I'm pretty sure this should be (noreplace), so I changed it.
- logrotate.d should not be owned by this package, only the single file inside it.
- Do you think it is a good move to switch to systemd for epel7? You're more knowledgeable here, so I'll let you make the call and adjust the logic appropriately.

Thanks,

--scott

Comment 7 Rich Mattes 2014-12-22 17:39:08 UTC
Yeah that original spec was a big crufty mess...  The package is simple enough that an all-new spec file is probably less work than sorting out the original.  It looks pretty good now.

As far as your notes go:
- I think noreplace was the right way to go, otherwise local changes get blown away on every package update.  The fedora-review warning was probably trying to make sure you weren't trying to do the wrong thing.
- According to [1], it's OK to own dirs from other packages in the case where the other package doesn't provide any core functionality for your package.  If you don't need logrotate, you should own the directory, otherwise you need a Requires: logrotate.
- I think systemd is the right call for epel7. It's the supported init system now, so providing native service files over sysv init files is preferable.  The only argument I can see for shipping the init script is el6->el7 upgrades, but el7 has been out long enough that it's probably not a huge issue.

As for The Big Checklist goes, everything is now fixed except for:
- The logrotate.d directory ownership
- According to [2], you need to BR python2-devel or python3-devel.

Comment 8 Scott K Logan 2014-12-24 00:34:51 UTC
Thanks, Rich.

I'll go ahead and make the package own logrotate.d. I had no idea that is how you were supposed to handle that situation. Thanks for the link!

I'm not sure why I had BR: python-devel - I'll change that for sure. Silly mistake.

As for epel7, I'll modify it to use systemd but I'd like to test it before we make final push. When I get back from vacation next week I'll give it a shot.

Comment 9 Scott K Logan 2015-01-11 01:44:06 UTC
Okay, I believe that I have addressed all outstanding issues:

- python-devel dependency changed to python2-devel
- logrotate.d owned by WALinuxAgent
- rhel >= 7 uses systemd instead of sysV

Spec URL: https://cottsay.fedorapeople.org/WALinuxAgent2/WALinuxAgent.spec
SRPM URL: https://cottsay.fedorapeople.org/WALinuxAgent2/WALinuxAgent-2.0.11-2.fc22.src.rpm

Koji build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=8586099

I tested the package on CentOS 7 without any problems.

Thanks,
