Description: GUILE (GNU's Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for Extension) is a library implementation of the Scheme programming language, written in C.  GUILE provides a machine-independent execution platform that can be linked in as a library during the building of extensible programs.

Comment 1 Miroslav Lichvar 2017-04-05 15:04:31 UTC
Thanks for preparing the package. My review follows.

Issues:
=======
- I think it would be better for the names of the executables in /usr/bin to
  not include dash, similarly to the compat-guile18 and python3 packages
- The package should probably not include the /usr/bin/guile2{,-tools} symlinks
- Missing Provides: bundled(gnulib)
  See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries#Requirement_if_you_bundle
- Package contains a libtool archive /usr/lib64/guile/2.2/extensions/guile-readline.la
  See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#StaticLibraries
- Package has obsolete/wrong scriptlets:
  %triggerin -- guile and %postrans should be removed
  %triggerin -- slib needs to be updated, or removed if slib doesn't work with guile2.2 yet
- Macro %define mver should be replaced with %global mver

===== MUST items =====

C/C++:
[x]: Package does not contain kernel modules.
[x]: Package contains no static executables.
[x]: Development (unversioned) .so files in -devel subpackage, if present.
[x]: Header files in -devel subpackage, if present.

     other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging
     Guidelines.
[x]: License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
[x]: License file installed when any subpackage combination is installed.
[-]: Package does not own files or directories owned by other packages.

     devel), /usr/share/guile(compat-guile18, guile)

Comment 2 Jan Synacek 2017-04-06 08:41:08 UTC
As I understand this review, the new guile22 is supposed to be installed alongside the existing guile 2.0.x package. I think that there are some potential problems with the spec.

1) You seem to be removing the old info pages in the %preun script. I don't think that's going to work on updates, plus if need them for the old version, the info pages are not there on the system anymore.

2) You still ship the compat symlinks to guile and guile-tools, which will conflict with 2.0.x, will they not?

I created a very similar package some time ago [1], you can get the info pages install side by side and work after installation with some sed magic.

[1] https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jsynacek/gnu-guile-2.1.x/build/486009/

Comment 4 Miroslav Lichvar 2017-04-18 12:55:48 UTC
Thanks for the update. Except some issues with the info files I think all good.

- %preun is needed to uninstall the info files correctly, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Scriptlets#Texinfo
- the install-info commands should (un)install the info files in the package (guile22 and r5rs22)
- the info files need to be modified, see Jan's comment #2.

Comment 6 Miroslav Lichvar 2017-04-19 15:07:30 UTC
Looks good. Approved.

Comment 7 Gwyn Ciesla 2017-04-19 16:47:41 UTC
Package request has been approved: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/guile22

Comment 8 Jason Tibbitts 2017-04-19 20:01:23 UTC
Just a note that unless this package contains version 22 of guile, the naming guidelines indicate that "guile2.2" is the correct name:

"
[...] All other packages derived from it MUST include the base name suffixed by either:

* The package version, which SHOULD include the periods present in the original version. 
[...]
"

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Naming#Multiple_packages_with_the_same_base_name

The idea is to avoid the confusion between version 2.2 and version 22.

Comment 9 Miroslav Lichvar 2017-04-20 07:01:57 UTC

Good point.

FWIW, I prefer guile22 to keep the naming consistent with compat-guile18. There are other packages not using dots and I think it's very unlikely we would have guile-2.2 and guile-22 packaged in Fedora at the same time.
