Comment 2 Tom Hughes 2015-12-15 22:43:04 UTC
Only concern is that parse.js is a slightly modified chunk of code from Node itself, so I wonder if we should have some sort of bundling provide?

Comment 3 Jared Smith 2015-12-16 14:58:42 UTC
I've have done a thorough analysis of the parse.js code, but based on the README.md file, it seems that this is different enough from Node's 'url' function that this is probably closer to the concept of a forked copylib than it is a bundled library.

Comment 4 Jared Smith 2015-12-22 16:44:52 UTC
(In reply to Jared Smith from comment #3)
> I've have done a thorough analysis of the parse.js code

Sorry, that was a typo.  It should have read "I haven't done a thorough analysis".

That being said, I have now looked at the code (on both sides) quite a bit more, and I still think this is a much more serious fork of the code than just "slightly modified chunk of code".  

In order to move this package review forward, would you like me to get the FPC to make a decision on this?  I hesitate to simply add the "Provides: bundled(nodejs)" line to the package and call it good, because I think it just causes more confusion than it's worth -- but if you think that's the most appropriate course of action, I'll do that.

Comment 5 Tom Hughes 2015-12-22 17:56:08 UTC
Sorry, I think I missed that you had replied on this before...

I think https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/913addbff5481567262c387cef9594f809e4ef83/lib/url.js is roughly the version it was based on although as you say quite a bit has been cut out or changed.

It's not really a copylib, because that implies that upstream had an intention that it would be copied, it's really just a fork.

I agree that bundled(nodejs) is not very useful, but the current guidelines don't really offer any guidance on when something is different enough to become a fork rather than bundling :-( I myself wound up adding a probably not very helpful bundled(boost) to a package because it had two files from the upstream boost repo that aren't in the boost releases.

We've had similar problems in the past, mostly with assert.deepequal, which exists in about a zillion hacked about versions in the npm repository:

https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/264
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/272
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/297

Obviously those were all resolved under the old bundling rules.

There was apparently some talk then about special rules for "fragments" like this but nothing ever came of it.

All those were granted exceptions, with no requirement to add a provide, so that seems like the logical conclusion here - just not sure if we should be getting FPC to approve that under the new rules...

Comment 6 Jared Smith 2015-12-22 19:03:54 UTC
Alright, I give.

SPEC URL: https://jsmith.fedorapeople.org/Packaging/nodejs-mdurl/nodejs-mdurl.spec
SRPM URL: https://jsmith.fedorapeople.org/Packaging/nodejs-mdurl/nodejs-mdurl-1.0.1-2.fc24.src.rpm

I've added the Provides: bundled(nodejs) line, along with an explanation of why it's there and a brief introduction.

Comment 7 Tom Hughes 2015-12-22 19:16:04 UTC
Fine. I tend to agre that it's probably a bit silly and the guidelines could maybe do with some tweaking.

Comment 8 Patrick Uiterwijk 2015-12-22 19:30:23 UTC
