Description Jeremy Newton 2016-09-27 16:55:34 UTC
I currently maintain pcsxr in RPMFusion, but since the guidelines have loosened on emulators, I would like to move this into Fedora proper.

Spec URL: https://pkgs.rpmfusion.org/cgit/free/pcsxr.git/plain/pcsxr.spec
SRPM URL: http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/development/rawhide/Everything/source/SRPMS/p/pcsxr-1.9.94-2.fc25.src.rpm
Description:
PCSX-Reloaded is an advanced PlayStation (PSX) emulator, which uses a plugin
architecture to provide full support for all components of the PSX. It has full
emulation support for game pads, videos, sound, memory cards, and other
important PSX components, and is able to play many games without problems.

Some comments:
-I am using the alpha version of pcsxr (1.9.94) just because it includes some fixes for mac and linux builds. The release page can be found here:
https://pcsxr.codeplex.com/releases/view/112026
-Note that the troublesome source URL should and will be fixed prior to uploading:
Source: https://pcsxr.codeplex.com/downloads/get/756488#/%{name}-%{svnversion}.zip
-The 64bit assert patch just removes an assert for the x86_64 specific code. I reported this upstream, but they seem to want to keep it in, which is strange because it doesn't exist in the equivalent logic for x86_32. This error can be safely ignored from the user end and should really be wrapped in a DEBUG build condition, but upstream doesn't care to do so. This works around a few crashes in some games and does not cause any regression, thus it seems to make sense to keep it.
-I believe that exclusive arch needs to be added, but I haven't looked into it:
ExclusiveArch: %{ix86} x86_64 ppc

Reuploading and disabling hardened build

Comment 2 MartinKG 2016-11-22 07:59:07 UTC
please modify your spec file, 

replace in build section:
make %{?_smp_mflags}
by
%make_build

and in install section:
make %{?_smp_mflags} install DESTDIR=%{buildroot}
by
%make_install

Please remove --prefix, as that's already set by %configure.

Comment 5 MartinKG 2016-11-23 15:55:02 UTC
please remove --prefix, as Neal mentioned, because the macro
%configure includes already the correct prefix.


rpm -E "%configure"

Comment 6 Jeremy Newton 2016-11-23 16:33:05 UTC
Nice catch!

Fixed! I also switched to "%autosetup" to clean things up.
I just re-uploaded the spec file (no version bump), because I'm not on a computer that can rebuild the SRPM right now. I'll bump it and rebuild the SRPM if you find any more issues; neither change would affect the binary anyway.

Comment 7 MartinKG 2016-11-23 18:58:31 UTC
change also %file section:

from

%files -f %{name}.lang
%doc doc/keys.txt doc/tweaks.txt AUTHORS COPYING README

to 

%files -f %{name}.lang
%doc doc/keys.txt doc/tweaks.txt AUTHORS README
%license COPYING

Comment 8 MartinKG 2016-11-23 19:30:18 UTC
also put the following line into %install section, because .la files should not be included, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines?rd=Packaging/Guidelines#StaticLibraries

# Libtool archives, foo.la files, should not be included.
find %{buildroot} -name '*.la' -exec rm -f {} ';'

Move the comment to ABOVE "%description", as it gets rendered as part of the description if you don't.

Indeed, it gets rendered as a blank line preceding the description. Fixed and reuploaded (no version bump because it's not a big deal IMHO)

Yes I know, I maintain that package. I was planning on retiring it as soon as this was approved. I just need to make sure I the release version is larger than the rpmfusion package.

Thanks!

Could you please also add an AppData file so it'll show up in GNOME Software and Plasma Discover? Otherwise most users won't be able to find it without having to get down to the package manager level.

See for details: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:AppData

Will do, thanks for reminding me

Comment 17 Epifanov Ivan 2016-11-26 02:02:52 UTC
Please note that pcsxr in fedora proper will lack compressed CDDA support. And judging from spec-file, compressed DATA tracks support too.

Indeed, anything requiring ffmpeg will be disabled, as ffmpeg is not allowed into Fedora proper.

Comment 19 Epifanov Ivan 2016-11-26 16:00:29 UTC
BTW, are you sure that assert patch is (still) required?
Removing this assert can lead to undefined behavior. The root problem of it, however, seems to be fixed long time ago.

Well IMHO, hard asserts should not be included in release code, so regardless of it being fixed, it would be hidden behind a DEBUG flag. I can modify the patch to throw a warning on stderr if you feel that would be more adequate. As well, I have a few games I can confirm that throw this assert on boot, which seems absolutely harmless to gameplay when ignored, yet will freeze on boot if not ignored.

If this is fixed for these games in a future release, I will gladly remove this patch.

Comment 21 Epifanov Ivan 2016-11-26 16:24:49 UTC
Care to share names of those games on https://pcsxr.codeplex.com/workitem/8567 ?
Thing is, hard asserts allow to strictly find offending code, while removing them can lead to unexpected bugs later, which users will (wrongly) report.

Megaman Legends 2 was one of the games. I'll retest with and without the patch. It may have been fixed without me realising.

I'll comment back there if I can reproduce it again.

Thanks for letting me know!

Comment 23 Jeremy Newton 2016-11-26 18:21:14 UTC
Looks like it was fixed in 1.99.3, I can no longer reproduce this. I must have missed this when I updated and tested it on RPMFusion. Thanks again for your input!
