Description Evan Klitzke 2018-05-15 05:41:43 UTC
Spec URL: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/eklitzke/python-scan-build/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/00754183-python-scan-build/scan-build.spec
SRPM URL: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/eklitzke/python-scan-build/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/00754183-python-scan-build/python-scan-build-2.0.13-1.fc29.src.rpm

This package is a little weird and I need some help on it. I've broken this down into a few parts below.

scan-build binary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Right now there is an official utility called scan-build which is part of LLVM. One of the LLVM developers has been working on a Python reimplementation of scan-build, which also has some extra features. This is likely to become the official scan-build implementation in a future LLVM release.

The existing scan-build implementation is packaged in the clang-analyzer package, which includes the following binaries:

/usr/bin/scan-build
/usr/bin/scan-view

My new package includes the following binaries:

/usr/bin/analyze-build
/usr/bin/analyze-c++
/usr/bin/analyze-cc
/usr/bin/intercept-build
/usr/bin/intercept-c++
/usr/bin/intercept-cc
/usr/bin/scan-build

As you can see there are new (and useful!) binaries in this Python implementation. However, I will need to rename the /usr/bin/scan-build to avoid conflicting with clang-analyzer. I'm open to suggestions on how to handle this.

License
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The license file used by this project is the same as LLVM, which is a custom NCSA-like license. I looked at the llvm source package, and they just declare the license there to be NCSA, so I did the same. The actual license can be found here: https://github.com/rizsotto/scan-build/blob/master/LICENSE.txt

noarch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

pyp2rpm thought this was a binary package because the setup.py file says it's not zip-safe. Actually it works in kind of a strange way: the package includes a file named ear.c, and the intercept-build binary compiles this on-the-fly when wrapping builds. The ear.c file isn't actually built by setup.py. I changed the spec file to be noarch which I think is correct, but I would like someone to double check this.

py-scan-build?

 - Name your SPEC the same name as the package, i.e. python-scan-build

 - Can't install the package:

DEBUG util.py:485:  Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:00 ago on mer. 16 mai 2018 16:17:26 CEST.
DEBUG util.py:483:  BUILDSTDERR: Error: 
DEBUG util.py:483:  BUILDSTDERR:  Problem: conflicting requests
DEBUG util.py:483:  BUILDSTDERR:   - nothing provides python3dist(typing) needed by python3-scan-build-2.0.13-1.fc29.noarch

There's a python2-typing but no python3-typing beecause "in Python 3.5 and later, the typing module lives in the stdlib, and installing this package has NO EFFECT." So I guess you can safely remove that BR for the Py3 subpackage.


Just update the SPEC with the rename and the BR hnage and I'll approve it.

Evan: are you coming back to this?

Comment 3 Package Review 2020-07-10 00:56:38 UTC
This is an automatic check from review-stats script.

This review request ticket hasn't been updated for some time. We're sorry
it is taking so long. If you're still interested in packaging this software
into Fedora repositories, please respond to this comment clearing the
NEEDINFO flag.

You may want to update the specfile and the src.rpm to the latest version
available and to propose a review swap on Fedora devel mailing list to increase
chances to have your package reviewed. If this is your first package and you
need a sponsor, you may want to post some informal reviews. Read more at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group.

Without any reply, this request will shortly be considered abandoned
and will be closed.
Thank you for your patience.
