Description Paul Howarth 2017-05-12 14:39:56 UTC
Spec URL: http://subversion.city-fan.org/repos/cfo-repo/perl-Ref-Util-XS/branches/fedora/perl-Ref-Util-XS.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/perl-Ref-Util/perl-Ref-Util-XS-0.115-1.fc27.src.rpm

Description:
Ref::Util::XS introduces several functions to help identify references in a
faster and smarter way.

Fedora Account System Username: pghmcfc

The XS parts of Ref::Util have been split out into this package. The Ref-Util dist now includes a pure-perl implementation and uses this XS version if available.

Comment 1 Paul Howarth 2017-05-15 08:48:50 UTC
Upstream update to 0.116 (spec URL unchanged):

Comment 2 Gerd Pokorra 2017-05-29 15:52:20 UTC
Why you check the licensedir?

I think

%if 0%{?_licensedir:1}
%license LICENSE
%else
%doc LICENSE
%endif

should be replaced to

%license LICENSE

This is a standard idiom for EL-6 compatibility; EL-6 doesn't have %license, and the easiest way to check for %license support is to check for the existence of the %_licensedir macro. So on EL-6 the LICENSE file is included as documentation.

Comment 4 Gerd Pokorra 2017-05-30 11:38:58 UTC
My EL-6 scratch builds with

koji build --scratch dist-6E-epel /home/gz016/rpmbuild/SRPMS/perl-Ref-Util-XS-0.116-1.fc25.src.rpm

fails:

DEBUG util.py:439:  Error: No Package found for perl(CPAN::Meta) >= 2.120900
DEBUG util.py:439:  Error: No Package found for perl(Test::More) >= 0.94

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=19780061


Without versions numbers the package perl(CPAN::Meta) is missing:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=19780865

Comment 5 Paul Howarth 2017-05-30 13:23:54 UTC
Hmm, good point. The EL-6 bits are a leftover from my local repo build, where I do have those packages. Neither the base not EPEL 6 repos are ever likely to get these packages, so I removed the EL-6-specific bits.

Comment 6 Gerd Pokorra 2017-05-30 13:52:20 UTC
Yast for a moment I tested this to support EL-6:

# Optional Tests
BuildRequires:  perl(B::Concise)
%{!?el6:BuildRequires:  perl(CPAN::Meta)}
BuildRequires:  perl(Readonly)

.
.
.
%files
%if %{?el6:1}%{!?el6:0}
%doc LICENSE
%else
%license LICENSE
%endif
%doc Changes README

Comment 7 Gerd Pokorra 2017-05-30 13:58:22 UTC
P.S.

Also the test

rm -f t/all-permutations.t

needed to be removed.

But we do not need to care about EL 6. Do you want to make packages for EPEL 6?

No, hence the update in the -2 build (Comment #5).

Comment 9 Gerd Pokorra 2017-05-30 14:57:01 UTC
provides and requires are okay
rpmlint checks with: 0 errors, 0 warnings

The package is 'ACCEPTED'.

Comment 10 Paul Howarth 2017-05-30 15:02:39 UTC
Thanks for the review Gerd.

Comment 11 Gwyn Ciesla 2017-05-30 15:13:10 UTC
Package request has been approved: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/perl-Ref-Util-XS

Comment 12 Gerd Pokorra 2017-05-30 15:41:22 UTC
P.S.

Would you please consider to remove the following BuildRequires before uploading the package:

perl-devel coreutils gcc make findutils

Explicit dependency on perl-devel is not allowed (remove it)

These BR are not needed: coreutils gcc make findutils

Comment 13 Paul Howarth 2017-05-30 15:48:02 UTC
perl-devel is a build-require, not a require, and is not only allowed, it is required for building XS packages:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl?rd=Packaging/Perl#Build_Dependencies

Referring to the general packaging guidelines (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#BuildRequires_2), it's recommended to add build requirements for anything a package explicitly needs and not depend on buildroot dependencies pulling them in, as the buildroot contents may change over time (it tends to get smaller, with less packages included over time). Hence I have build requirements on coreutils, findutils, gcc and make, all of which are used in the package build.

Comment 14 Gerd Pokorra 2017-05-30 16:04:00 UTC
Okay; sorry for my mistake.
