Here is preliminary analysis of the current RPM packaging state of the web-of-deps:

>  - python-bitmath
   1.3.1 in Fedora and EPEL7, can be imported to CBS Koji for RDO deps repo
   Missing BR: Error: No Package found for python-progressbar

>  - python-queuelib
   1.4.2 in Fedora, needs to be forked in github.com/rdo-common/ to make it build on EL7 (conditionalize py3 at least)

>  - python-cachez
   not in Fedora, needs Fedora Package Review

>  - python-retryz
   not in Fedora, needs Fedora Package Review

Built in CBS:
* progressbar http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=15343
* bitmath http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=15332
* queuelib http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=15345
  RDO EL7 fix https://github.com/rdo-common/python-queuelib/commit/d30a88bb953ad536935bfea1dc0db46547aaa6db

> >  - python-cachez
>    not in Fedora, needs Fedora Package Review
> 
> >  - python-retryz
>    not in Fedora, needs Fedora Package Review

Eric, would like to open Fedora/PackageReview for those two? You can use pyp2rpm for the initial spec or start with example spec in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python

When you have review bz please add them in Depends On here.

BR for cachez and retryz:
* hamcrest http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=15346

Deps should be all set now, please post link to the initial spec/SRPM here.

Wrong version.

SRPM URL: https://hguemar.fedorapeople.org/reviews/python-storops-0.4.4-1.el7.src.rpm

I fixed download URL since the one in spec file doesn't work, I also started a scratch build in CBS.
https://cbs.centos.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=159597

Package looks sane, but it's not running unit tests.
From quick glance:
- missing BR to run test: python-pytest-xdist, python-future, python-fasteners, python-hamcrest
- potential conflict with requests versions (does not prevent tests running)

> Package looks sane, but it's not running unit tests.

I don't think that the unit tests will currently function in our package build environment.

Running them locally shows lots of failures to open files like "storops-0.4.4/test/vnx/testdata/block_output/security_-certificate_-getLevel.txt" which do not exist.

This data is present here, but not in the source on PyPI:
https://github.com/emc-openstack/storops/tree/develop/test/vnx/testdata/block_output

Initial package could be w/o unit tests but give we don't have CI coverage for this HW specific library, it should be added so we have at least minimal coverage on the unittesting level. Please open upstream issue to fix the release tarball and reference it as TODO in commented-out %check section.

Also update to the latest version https://github.com/emc-openstack/storops/releases/tag/r0.4.6

The 0.4.6 update to the storops library has added a requirement for persist-queue, which is not yet packaged for Fedora.

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/persist-queue/

Opened https://github.com/emc-openstack/storops/issues/92 for unit test issues.

Updated to 0.4.7 and now runs unit tests.

Built in CBS:
* persist-queue https://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=15690

> Source0:        https://tarballs.openstack.org/%{pypi_name}/%{pypi_name}-%{version}.tar.gz

That's 404, storops is not hosted in OpenStack infra.

This works (it was also fixed in comment 8):
Source0:        https://pypi.io/packages/source/%(n=%{pypi_name}; echo ${n:0:1})/%{pypi_name}/%{pypi_name}-%{version}.tar.gz

Please provide updated spec/srpm links formatted like in comment 8

CBS scratch build: https://cbs.centos.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=160424

failed, BR missing: python-pytest-xdist

Built in CBS but it's missing further two more deps:

CBS build: http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=15732

FWIW this cannot be shipped in RDO b/c proprietary Navisphere is required, strops is wrapping proprietary CLI: https://github.com/emc-openstack/storops/blob/7da570abff63b1813b49e34cdc3ed2f03d6680b4/storops/vnx/navi_command.py#L96-L99

The current RPM build will stay available in CBS Koji but EMC will need to keep it updated[*] and ship it in their own package repository, along with all required proprietary packages.


[*] there were 3 new upstream releases since 0.4.7 in February: https://github.com/emc-openstack/storops/tags
