Description: Watchman exists to watch files and record when they change. It can also trigger actions (such as rebuilding assets) when matching files change.

Comment 1 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-04-07 13:39:24 UTC
 - Use %{_rundir} instead of /run

 - I don't think BuildRequires:  systemd is necessary.

 - Dubious files permissions:

watchman.x86_64: E: world-writable /run/watchman 2777
watchman.x86_64: E: non-standard-dir-perm /run/watchman 2777

Should probably be 0755.

 - Files in /run should be ghosted:

watchman.x86_64: W: non-ghost-in-run /run/watchman

 - This file should probably not included:

watchman.x86_64: W: non-ghost-in-run /run/watchman/.not-empty
watchman.x86_64: W: hidden-file-or-dir /run/watchman/.not-empty
watchman.x86_64: E: zero-length /run/watchman/.not-empty

 - Some parts are also BSD and MIT

Comment 2 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-04-07 13:50:44 UTC
 - After reading how the program works (one instance per user), the permissions with setgid 2777 might be okay.

Comment 3 Lars Kellogg-Stedman 2018-04-11 01:22:12 UTC
> - Use %{_rundir} instead of /run

Done.

> - I don't think BuildRequires:  systemd is necessary.

Without that the %{_tmpfilesdir} macro is undefined.

> - Dubious files permissions:

Those are required.  It's basically just like /tmp.  I think the project should default to using the user's home directory rather than a global directory like that, but that's how it operates right now.

> - Files in /run should be ghosted:

Done.

> - This file should probably not included:

Good catch, fixed.

> - Some parts are also BSD and MIT

Yeah, upon inspection, the licensing is a little crazy.

Comment 5 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-04-11 14:16:54 UTC
Package approved.

Comment 6 Jon Dufresne 2020-04-23 15:39:25 UTC
IIUC, this package was approved 2018-04-11 any reason it is still not available in the repository?

Comment 7 Mattia Verga 2020-06-14 07:50:35 UTC
This package was approved but never imported. Are you still interested in getting it into Fedora repositories?

Comment 8 Lars Kellogg-Stedman 2020-06-15 13:59:44 UTC
I think we can just cancel this request.

Comment 9 Laurent Rineau 2020-06-15 15:16:13 UTC
Now that the spec file is approved, could this package taken over by an approved maintainer?

Comment 10 Mattia Verga 2020-06-15 16:09:41 UTC
(In reply to Laurent Rineau from comment #9)
> Now that the spec file is approved, could this package taken over by an
> approved maintainer?

Well, I think it must be resubmitted within a new package review request since that spec file was created 2 years ago.
You can ask on the packaging or devel mailing list for info.
