Hello,

 - I've got an rpmlint error:

rakudo-Readline.x86_64: E: devel-dependency readline-devel

   It seems dubious to include a devel dependency as a Require, on the Github page, they mention readline being a dependency, not readline-devel. libreadline.so.5 is provided by compat-readline5.

 - The versionning seems wrong. It should be something like this for a development snapshot:

Version:	0
Release:	0.1.20170918gita9f6dc4%{?dist}

 - rakudo-Readline.x86_64: E: no-binary

The package doesn't provide any binary, thus shouldn't the package be noarch?

Comment 3 Gerd Pokorra 2017-09-19 09:41:42 UTC
Thank you for taking the review!


--About to require readline-devel --

I get no rpmlint error when checking the spec file

$ grep devel rakudo-Readline.spec 
Requires:	readline-devel
$ rpmlint rakudo-Readline.spec
rakudo-Readline.spec: W: no-%build-section
0 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.


If I erase the readline-devel package and install compat-readline5 or compat-readline6 I get the following error:

$ perl6
I ran into a problem while trying to set up Readline: Could not instantiate role 'ReadlineBehavior':
Cannot locate native library 'libreadline.so': libreadline.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Falling back to Linenoise (if present)
You may want to `zef install Readline` or `zef install Linenoise` or use rlwrap for a line editor
 
To exit type 'exit' or '^D'
>

The package 'readline-devel' is needed to provide /usr/lib64/libreadline.so.


-- Making the package noarch --

The package provides MoarVM-Bytecode that differs a little bit at different architectures (x86_64 and i686). So that installs to ${_libdir} in place of %{_datadir}. But I you want I will make the package 'noarch'.


-- Version --
I will start to change the version to:

Version:	0
Release:	0.1.20170918gita9f6dc4%{?dist}

that means the version should be 0?

In the META file the version is 0.0.2. I would like to take this as version number and not the long string. Please let me know what you would prefer.

> The package 'readline-devel' is needed to provide /usr/lib64/libreadline.so.

Ok, I think this is a bug from upstream but we can't do anything about it.

> The package provides MoarVM-Bytecode that differs a little bit at different architectures (x86_64 and i686). So that installs to ${_libdir} in place of %{_datadir}.

Okay, as long as there is a justification for it, it is fine as is for me.

>In the META file the version is 0.0.2

I think you should use 0.0.2 as the version, I've checked upstream git log, and there's no significant change after this version was tagged.

Trivial change, and the other point are resoled, so the package is accepted.

Comment 5 Gerd Pokorra 2017-09-19 10:51:55 UTC
Thank you very much for the review!!

I will change the version and release tags to:

Version:	0.0.2
Release:	0.1.20170918gita9f6dc4%{?dist}
