Description:
SPASM-ng is a z80 assembler with extra features to support development
for TI calculators. SPASM-ng can assemble and create assembly programs
and flash applications in formats that can be shipped directly to
TI-z80 (TI-83+, TI-83+SE, TI-84+, TI-83+SE, TI-84+CSE, TI-84+CE)
calculators.

SPASM-ng was originally from the SPASM project, and was forked to fix
a few bugs. It was originally written by Spencer Putt and Don Straney,
with additional development by Chris Shappell and James Montelongo.

This release incorporates eZ80 support in preparation for the launch
of the TI-84+CE. It also greatly increases the limit on the number
of labels that can be defined.

Some notes:

* spasm-ng is available in this COPR (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/tc01/spasm-ng/) if you wish to test it.

* spasm-ng is distributed upstream alongside some z80 assembly include files, for linking against the TI-83+. Where should these be distributed? I've put them into /usr/include/spasm-ng, which feels like... not quite the right place, but I'm not sure if .../share/ makes any more sense.

* One of these files (https://github.com/alberthdev/spasm-ng/blob/master/inc/ti83plus.inc) was originally written by TI, and I'm not certain we (Fedora) can legally redistribute it. If necessary, it can be removed from the package. On the other hand, the included license text seems only to establish the file is under no warranty and that its copyright notice be left intact, and the calculator hacking community has redistributed this file for years. (Though that obviously doesn't mean Fedora can ship it).

Comment 1 Ben Rosser 2016-07-19 23:53:22 UTC
Having thought about the include file situation further... I believe they probably should be removed from the package:

Their authorship and copyright is difficult to assert (most of the community written files are not licensed, and ti83plus.inc was originally written by TI and then heavily modified), most authors of TI calculator assembly projects bundle them with their code anyway, and spasm does not expect include files to be available system-wide to begin with. The AUR package for Arch makes a similar decision and does not include them.

I have also realized the package was not being built with system-wide ldflags, so I fixed that and reuploaded the package.

Spec URL: https://tc01.fedorapeople.org/spasm/spasm-ng.spec
SRPM URL: https://tc01.fedorapeople.org/spasm/spasm-ng-0.5-0.3.beta.2.fc23.src.rpm

I believe it is now ready for review.

Comment 2 gil cattaneo 2016-08-27 08:47:27 UTC
can you take this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1366839 for me?

Comment 3 gil cattaneo 2016-08-27 08:50:15 UTC
Please, remove rm -rf %{buildroot} in %install section

Comment 4 gil cattaneo 2016-08-27 08:56:49 UTC
I get Error 404 downloading https://tc01.fedorapeople.org/spasm/spasm-ng-0.5-0.3.beta.2.fc23.src.rpm
please, fix also the problem reported above

Comment 5 Ben Rosser 2016-08-27 16:47:12 UTC
Oh, whoops. The correct SRPM is fc24, not fc23:

Comment 9 Ben Rosser 2016-08-30 00:56:28 UTC
I've removed the static libs as part of the %prep stage (they weren't being used as part of the compile process anyway but this way we can be sure of that).

I've removed the gmp.h header; spasm links against a system-wide gmp instead so it doesn't really need that header file anyway.

The stringencoders sources... sigh. I managed to not notice those initially, my bad. I think I am going to eventually have a go at properly unbundling this and packaging stringencoders separately. 

For now, though... stringencoders does not seem to actually believe in release versions that aren't just a date; if you look at the changelog here, for instance: https://github.com/client9/stringencoders/blob/master/ChangeLog. The sources were added to spasm (pre-spasm-ng fork) on 8/20/2011; https://wabbit.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/69815. My best guess at a version, then, would be "19-Mar-2010". Should I stylize this as 2010.03.19, should I use the date the files were added (2011.08.20), or do something different? (For now, I've used 2011.08.20, since that would be the date the files were pulled).

I have opened an issue upstream asking for license clarification / license headers. https://github.com/alberthdev/spasm-ng/issues/37.

And I have removed the rm -rf %{buildroot}.
