Description Mike Goodwin 2017-01-03 16:38:27 UTC
Spec URL: https://github.com/xenithorb/btchip-python-spec/blob/master/python2-btchip.spec

SRPM URL: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/xenithorb/btchip-python/fedora-25-x86_64/00494382-python2-btchip/python2-btchip-0.1.18-1.fc25.src.rpm


Description: 

btchip-python is a python API for communicating primarily with the Ledger HW.1
hardware bitcoin wallet. This library is also adds compatibility to Electrum in
order to use the "Nano", "Nano S", and other Ledger-based hardware wallets.


Fedora Account System Username: xenithorb


Additional info: The primary purpose for my packaging this python library is for use with the recently-packaged Electrum bitcoin wallet. Electrum can take advantage of this library in order to use Ledger-based hardware wallets, and the current method to use this in Fedora is to `sudo pip install btchip-python` which affects (obv.) global python packages.

Comment 1 Jonny Heggheim 2017-01-03 19:37:43 UTC
You should split the package like described here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Common_SRPM_vs_split_SRPMs

You should also use the template used in the Example common spec file section on the Packaging Guidelines for Python. The one you use is to support older EPEL versions.

Fedora Packaging Guidelines for Python:
> If a piece of software supports python3, it must be packaged for python3.
Lets see if it works with python3. If not then we do not build it.


>Source0: https://github.com/LedgerHQ/%{srcname}/archive/v%{version}.tar.gz
This is a personal preference, but I like to download the release from the Python Package Index / pythonhosted.org, since that is what upstream publish.

However, it's preprocessed source and usually doesn't contain license and/or tests. Real source (github) is always better.

This library does not yet support python3, so is the preferred method then to use the common spec here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Example_common_spec_file and then just comment out all the python3 related items?

I'd prefer to stay with github if it's all the same. I have it added here as well: https://release-monitoring.org/project/12767/

Yes, the name of the package without the 2-suffix, while the the name of the sub-package should include a 2-suffix. 

python-trezor is simular, it does not work with python3 yet, see http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/python-trezor.git/tree/python-trezor.spec for an example.

No worries.

Comment 7 Jonny Heggheim 2017-01-04 18:31:21 UTC
Must:
* Please contact upstream to clarify licensing. Best if they put proper license header and release new version.

Non critical:
* Consider removing the python3 code that is commented out.

Comment 8 Mike Goodwin 2017-01-04 19:09:44 UTC
Thanks Jonny! I've linked them to this review and have asked them to comment to me or the ticket in reply to the questionably-licensed files. 

Re: the python3 stuff in the spec, i was unsure about if you wanted that there because of what you said about following the new guidelines and potential python3 support in the future for one of your packaged libs. I spoke to btchip and he said they intend on supporting python3 with this library at some point. 

Still remove?

You decide, I would remove them now and add it later when btchip supports python3.
