It is being developed as an international standard by scientists and programmers representing major scientific facilities in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America in order to facilitate greater cooperation in the analysis and visualization of neutron, x-ray, and muon data. Fedora Account System Username: sic This is my first packages and so I will need a sponsor. Thank you. (Well I did submit another package but that hasn't been approved - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1268380)

Drive-by comments. Not easy to review, not a full review. Needs some more work: > Name: nexus > Summary: NeXus scientific data file format This %summary could be improved, because so far it is for insiders only and doesn't give a hint what is included in this package. Judging on the %files section contents, this is a library-only package. No program, not tools, and the %summary could mention that. Such as: Summary: Library for handling NeXus scientific data files It's written in C++ and offers shared library APIs for C, C++ and Fortran it seems. Offering all of them in a single package could be drawback because of what is pulled in via implicit dependencies. Also visit https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Shared_Libraries and: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries > License: LGPL https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#License_Text Further, the -tools subpackage contains a GPLv2 license text as one of the files in a %doc folder. This needs to be reflected in the "License" tag of that package, and the %license macro ought to be used. There is another "LICENSE" file included. Consider pointing the fedora-review tool at this bugzilla ticket, since it automates many checks related to licensing. > Requires: libgfortran > Requires: hdf5 > Requires: hdf > Requires: mxml https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Requiring_Base_Package > %package devel > Summary: Development files for %{name} > Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Requiring_Base_Package > %package tools > Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} > Requires: libxml2 > Requires: readline https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Requiring_Base_Package > %install > rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT > %make_install https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Tags_and_Sections > %files > %doc %{_datadir}/doc/NeXus/README.doc > %{_libdir}/libNeXus* > %{_libdir}/nexus/ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#File_and_Directory_Ownership Particularly https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:UnownedDirectories since directory /usr/share/doc/NeXus/ would not be included.

(This is an unofficial review) I'll throw some notes out first, but do also review the automated tool output below, as it identified a large quantity of issues as well. 1) You can remove the line "rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT" from %install 2) You've got a small ton of rpmlint errors that will either need fixing or explaining (ignore spelling issues unless it really is mispelled) 3) If you have questions about any of the issues listed below, let me know and I'll try to help you solve them.

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.
I will revisit and update the request shortly.
Stuart, any updates on this?

Full review matrix below: Package Review ============== Legend: [x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated [ ] = Manual review needed Issues: ======= - ldconfig not called in %post and %postun for Fedora 28 and later. Note: /sbin/ldconfig called in nexus See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Removing_ldconfig_scriptlets Review: see earlier comment. - Development (unversioned) .so files in -devel subpackage, if present. Note: Unversioned so-files directly in %_libdir. See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging- guidelines/#_devel_packages Review: I think this is related to the "%{_libdir}/libNeXus*" line in the main package. SO files in main packages should have a version number. Check above guidelines for reference. - 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 %license.

Thank you very much for the review and helpful comments. - I have used the %{version} macro - Changed the BuildRequires to use pkgconfig where I can (HDF4/5 do not seem to have .pc files) - None of the CMake generated files are useful to ship - this can be changed upstream and then should be included in the package. - Added the license file and (hopefully) made it clear for the nxdir tool being MIT licensed. - removed ldconfig lines. I think there are changes that can be made upstream to clean up the package longer term, which I will try and get included in the next upstream patch release.

A quick google search shows that lib* library discovery should be left to rpm itself and not be explicitly listed in the SPEC file. Could you try building without it to see whether it still works? [...] nexus.src: W: patch-not-applied Patch3: nexus-add-license.patch 6 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 4 errors, 14 warnings. I missed this one last time. Should this patch be applied or removed? I see the main package already has a COPYING file listed with %license.
Thank you again. For the COPYING file, I wasn't sure if the file had to be 'installed' (hence the patch was to add that to CMake), but it looks like the %license macro picks it up from the source/build. I think I've addressed everything, the only warnings I see with rpmlint are now: nexus.src: W: name-repeated-in-summary C NeXus nexus.src: W: spelling-error %description -l en_US muon -> mun, moon, mu on Wasn't sure how bad the first one is, but the second one is a false warning, as muon is spelt correctly.

> For the COPYING file, I wasn't sure if the file had to be 'installed' (hence the patch was to add that to CMake), but it looks like the %license macro picks it up from the source/build. If it's in the root of the source dir, using %license for license files and %doc for documentation files will add these to the correct directories :). > Wasn't sure how bad the first one is, but the second one is a false warning, as muon is spelt correctly. I think the first one is bogus as well. Don't worry about it.

A rather minor item, but I would add the COPYING file to the -devel package as well: %files devel %license COPYING As for the "incorrect-fsf-address" errors, the guidelines recommend contacting upstream: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_Rpmlint_issues#incorrect-fsf-address I've personally never seen this before, but it's not a blocking issue either way.
Awesome, thank you - I will look into the fsf issue upstream. I've added the COPYING file into the devel package.
