Description James Hogarth 2017-10-16 09:38:54 UTC
Spec URL: https://jhogarth.fedorapeople.org/boost-nowide/boost-nowide.spec
SRPM URL: https://jhogarth.fedorapeople.org/boost-nowide/boost-nowide-0-20171003.gitec9672b.fc28.src.rpm

Description: Boost.Nowide is a library implemented by Artyom Beilis
that makes cross platform Unicode aware programming
easier.

The library provides an implementation of standard C and C++ library
functions, such that their inputs are UTF-8 aware on Windows without
requiring to use Wide API.

Comment 1 James Hogarth 2017-10-16 09:43:02 UTC
Not marking this as blocked on the EPEL7 boost157 review as this is a *Fedora* review ... the EPEL part is just for information and future intent only...

Note this is the first time I've dealt with boost so would appreciate feedback on the proper way to handle this module until such time as nowide upstream submits, and has it included in, boost upstream.

Comment 2 James Hogarth 2017-10-19 09:43:00 UTC
FYI nowide was accepted into boost back in June, but it's pending a few activities by the developer before they merge it:

Comment 3 James Hogarth 2017-10-19 14:11:41 UTC
Noted that this is a header only 'library' so updated the spec accordingly:

Spec URL: https://jhogarth.fedorapeople.org/boost-nowide/boost-nowide.spec
SRPM URL: https://jhogarth.fedorapeople.org/boost-nowide/boost-nowide-0-20171019.gitec9672b.fc28.src.rpm

Comment 4 James Hogarth 2017-10-25 13:39:54 UTC
A small update to make it compatible with the boost157 EPEL7 package that is about to complete review.

This build also includes the built html docs in its own subpackage.

Spec URL: https://jhogarth.fedorapeople.org/boost-nowide/boost-nowide.spec
SRPM URL: https://jhogarth.fedorapeople.org/boost-nowide/boost-nowide-0-20171025.gitec9672b.fc28.src.rpm

This is tested in both building and usage in the facter3 COPR

I can't really give you much feedback regarding boost as I am rather a novice, but I can review the package in its current state. Try asking on the mailing list for more feedback.


 - The main package summary is not very explicit:

Summary:	Libraries

 - Just use:

Source0:	https://github.com/%{gh_owner}/%{gh_project}/archive/%{gh_commit}/%{name}-%{gh_short}.tar.gz

# Use upstream pull request to have proper cmake files for shared library building
Patch0: https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/%{gh_owner}/%{gh_project}/pull/27.patch/%{name}-PR-27.patch

 - Use either spaces or tabs, not both:

boost-nowide.src:28: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 28, tab: line 6)


All these points are trivial to fix, so the package is good to go imho.

Comment 6 James Hogarth 2017-10-26 08:41:18 UTC
Haha thanks ... yeah I forgot that I put a placeholder in the summary whilst working on getting the spec itself working properly.

Huh didn't realise github supported that URL syntax ... followed the previous github srpms I've worked with for the source0 in this.

I might go back to my other packages and update as I think that's clearer than the url#foo syntax.

Will have to test and consider that.
