Comment 1 Michael Cronenworth 2018-05-29 17:55:44 UTC
- URL: search.cpan.org is disappearing soon. Why don't we go ahead and update it?
  http://search.cpan.org/dist/Diff-LibXDiff/
- License. I'm confused, but this is my first perl package to review. The source code is declaring LGPLv2+, but the CPAN page and your spec show GPL+ or Artistic. Which is correct?

Comment 2 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-05-29 18:06:27 UTC

Addressed in the following new iteration:

SRPM URL: http://kinginuyasha.enanocms.org/downloads/perl-Diff-LibXDiff-0.05-0.fc28.3.src.rpm

Note that the Release is below 1. That will change when I upload after completed review.

No problem at all. I usually ammend the changelog at the end of a review.

Note that "Release:        0%{?dist}.3" will not work if you were to use this on a real package. You will want to have the dist tag at the end. "Release:        0.3%{?dist}" would work.

Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated
[ ] = Manual review needed


Issues:
=======
- "make %{?_smp_mflags}" is used. Please consider "%make_build"
- No license file for bundled library. Even though it is not explicitly required in the guidelines I would think we need a copy of it to be provided since we are shipping the library. Upstream may be dead so an external copy of the file may be required.


===== MUST items =====

C/C++:
[x]: Package does not contain kernel modules.
[x]: Package contains no static executables.
[-]: Development (unversioned) .so files in -devel subpackage, if present.

> - "make %{?_smp_mflags}" is used. Please consider "%make_build"

I'm mainly using "make %{?_smp_mflags}" for symmetry with the custom install command, but I can change it if desired.

> - No license file for bundled library. Even though it is not explicitly required in the guidelines I would think we need a copy of it to be provided since we are shipping the library. Upstream may be dead so an external copy of the file may be required.

We're explicitly not supposed to do that:

You felt, strangely, compelled to point it out in my review. I honestly don't care.

That is a review checklist item and not the packaging guideline for licensing.

The Packaging Guidelines for Licensing are clear you must include a copy of the full license text. There are instructions on when upstream does not provide a copy.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#License_Text

You are providing no license text for either the perl module or the bundled library. Obviously because upstream does not provide a file for either, but it must be provided.
