Description Nils Tonnätt 2015-04-09 13:54:10 UTC
Spec URL: https://ntonnaett.fedorapeople.org/drumgizmo.spec
SRPM URL: https://ntonnaett.fedorapeople.org/drumgizmo-0.9.8.1-1.fc21.src.rpm

Description:
DrumGizmo is an open source cross-platform drum plugin and stand-alone
application. It is comparable to several commercial drum plugin products.

DrumGizmo uses an open drum-kit file format, allowing the community to create
their own drum-kits. It has multichannel output, making it possible to mix it
just the way you would a real drum-kit. The optional built-in humanizer analyzes
the midi notes, adjusting velocities on-the-fly. This client can be a
stand-alone midi renderer, generating .wav files, 1 for each channel. Or use
DrumGizmo as a software sampler for an electronic drum-kit. There are also
plugin versions available.

For more information please visit http://www.drumgizmo.org

This is my first package. So I need a sponsor. I worked with upstream developers to get the project ready for fedora packaging.

koji builds for f21 and f22.

Comment 1 Sinny Kumari 2015-04-12 10:29:24 UTC
This is un-official review of the package

Issues
-------
1. License field should be GPLv3+ instead of GPLv3 because COPYING file says " either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version." Also, source code mention same
2. %license macro should be used instead of %doc for License files https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#License_Text

%license COPYING

3. Source tar ball also contains test directory. I think if test works then it should be added in %check section in order to catch issues.

Other than that package looks good to me.

Comment 2 Nils Tonnätt 2015-04-13 20:13:40 UTC
Thank you for your (un-official) review.

I'm a bit confused. Why is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package saying that %license is not valid under fedora? The example %files section is using '%doc LICENSE' too.

I updated the spec and srpm. %license is doing something special. But fedora-review says:

  If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in
  its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s) for the
  package is included in %doc.
  Note: Cannot find COPYING in rpm(s)
  See:
  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#License_Text

I didn't add %check because it doesn't work. I will contact the developers.

Yes, this wiki says to include License file using %doc macro but I have got suggestion to use %license macro for license files from official Fedora reviewer (BZ#1182261#c9). 
Maybe https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package needs to be updated as well.

I think, this can be ignored.

That would be great

Comment 4 Michael Schwendt 2015-06-03 09:13:50 UTC
As fedora-review prints excerpts from the guidelines, those can be out-of-date. More relevant are the printed links to the guidelines:

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#License_Text

It's only since the last edit of that Wiki page (January 2015) that %license is mentioned in that section.


> %dir %{_libdir}/lv2/drumgizmo.lv2/

Without an explicit dependency on package "lv2", directory %{_libdir}/lv2/ would be without owner:

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#File_and_Directory_Ownership

AFAIR, LV2 still is not a shared lib that would result in an automatic dependency.

Comment 5 Package Review 2020-07-10 00:51:39 UTC
This is an automatic check from review-stats script.

This review request ticket hasn't been updated for some time. We're sorry
it is taking so long. If you're still interested in packaging this software
into Fedora repositories, please respond to this comment clearing the
NEEDINFO flag.

You may want to update the specfile and the src.rpm to the latest version
available and to propose a review swap on Fedora devel mailing list to increase
chances to have your package reviewed. If this is your first package and you
need a sponsor, you may want to post some informal reviews. Read more at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group.

Without any reply, this request will shortly be considered abandoned
and will be closed.
Thank you for your patience.

Comment 6 Package Review 2020-08-10 00:51:13 UTC
This is an automatic action taken by review-stats script.

The ticket submitter failed to clear the NEEDINFO flag in a month.
As per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Policy_for_stalled_package_reviews
we consider this ticket as DEADREVIEW and proceed to close it.
