Description Vratislav Podzimek 2015-10-14 10:43:37 UTC
Spec URL: http://vpodzime.fedorapeople.org/libbytesize.spec
SRPM URL: http://vpodzime.fedorapeople.org/libbytesize-0.1-1.fc21.src.rpm
Description:
The libbytesize is a C library with GObject introspection support that
facilitates work with sizes in bytes. Be it parsing the input from users or
producing a nice human readable representation of a size in bytes this library
takes localization into account. It also provides support for sizes bigger than
MAXUINT64.

Comment 1 Upstream Release Monitoring 2015-10-14 13:00:11 UTC
isimluk's scratch build of libbytesize-0.1-1.fc21.src.rpm for rawhide completed http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=11443736

Comment 2 Šimon Lukašík 2015-10-14 19:50:53 UTC
Issues:
=======
- Please raise release number each time you update new specfile and srpm
- Your upstream URL points to https://github.com/vpodzime/libbytesize/
  I think it should point out to https://github.com/rhinstaller/libbytesize
  The latter location has more up-todate sources and the former is just an
  outdated fork
- Could not found: https://github.com/vpodzime/libbytesize/archive/libbytesize-0.1.tar.gz
  Please release upstream before I grant the fedora-review+
- No documentation included. Please put upstream's README.rst into the base
  package.
- Python sub-packages should require the base package, or does it work without 
  the lib?
- Please consider naming python sub-packages python-bytesize instead of
  python-libbytesize. I don't know the right answer here. Just think about
  this and let me know.
- Fix rpmlint issue:
  libbytesize.x86_64: W: summary-ended-with-dot C A library for working with sizes in bytes.
- Aren't here missing dependencies in python sub-packages?
  I would thing that python3-gobject and pygobject3-base should be required.
  But I may be wrong, you certainly have more gobject experience. ;-)
- Similarly, there are directories without owners, in the packages.
  Please review them and see if you can solve this somehow (my suggestion
  is to add a dependency.
    * /usr/share/gir-1.0 (-> libbytesize-devel should require GConf2-devel)
    * /usr/lib64/girepository-1.0 (-> libbytesize should require gobject-introspection)

This is complete list of issues, I have been able to identify today.
Overall good job!

> Issues:

I don't see a point in this. I'm not doing releases. I'm just getting to the first release.

Oh, I forgot that by doing my own fork, GH stopped redirecting the original URL to the new one. Fixing.

> - Could not found:

>   Please release upstream before I grant the fedora-review+
Sure will do when other things are addressed. I want the first release to really be the first released one. I don't want to force-push the tag.

Sounds good, fixing.

Good point, fixing.

I don't know the right answer either, but python-bytesize sounds better to me. Changing.

> - Fix rpmlint issue:

Alright, alright.

> - Aren't here missing dependencies in python sub-packages?
>   I would thing that python3-gobject and pygobject3-base should be required.

You are right, those are needed. :)

>     * /usr/share/gir-1.0 (-> libbytesize-devel should require GConf2-devel)
Why GConf2-devel? Here's what I have no my system:
# rpm -qf /usr/share/gir-1.0
atk-devel-2.14.0-1.fc21.x86_64
libxklavier-devel-5.4-4.fc21.x86_64
gobject-introspection-devel-1.42.0-1.fc21.x86_64
libgee-devel-0.16.1-1.fc21.x86_64
gtk2-devel-2.24.28-1.fc21.x86_64
vte3-devel-0.36.3-3.fc21.x86_64
gtk3-devel-3.14.15-1.fc21.x86_64
gdk-pixbuf2-devel-2.31.6-1.fc21.x86_64

From those, I think gobject-introspection-devel makes most sense. Adding that.

>     * /usr/lib64/girepository-1.0 (-> libbytesize should require

Yes, adding it.

Thanks! All of the above should be addressed in the current version of the spec and SRPM (same URLs).

I also changed the licence of the package (and upstream) to LGPLv2+.

I am not sure if this change has any meaningful impact. There is still one file in the project licensed under GPLv3 (gettext.h). And since rest of the source code is LGPLv2+ (plus sign is important here), the gettext.h forces the other files to be actually licensed under LGPLv3.

See: http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/floss-license-slide.html

Please either change the license back to LGPLv3 (in the specfile) or bundle gettext.h from other source (gnulib contains same file with LGPLv2+).

Comment 5 Šimon Lukašík 2015-10-16 15:07:04 UTC
Quote from the Packaging:Python
> [...] the subpackage containing he python2 version must provide
> python2-example. [...]

Please either rename python-bytesize to python2-bytesize or add the Provides.

Comment 6 Šimon Lukašík 2015-10-16 15:15:28 UTC
That's it. I do not see any other blocker. Please fix these two issues and release the version upstream.

All the above should be addressed now and the release is available at:
https://github.com/rhinstaller/libbytesize/releases/tag/libbytesize-0.1

with the tarball being available too at the URL specified in the .spec file.

Thanks a lot for the review!
