Description: This package provides the shared library for the MongoDB legacy C++ Driver.

Hi,
I would like to get into fedora mongo-cxx-driver-legacy package. Now Fedora contains mongo-cxx-driver package, but it needs to be updated to current stable release. So this package is "compat" package for projects which don't support new mongo-cxx-driver now (e.g. uwsgi).

Comment 1 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-10-03 00:37:03 UTC
 - Group: is not used in Fedora

 - This is not used since F28

%post -p /sbin/ldconfig

%postun -p /sbin/ldconfig

 If you plan to package for F27 or EPEL, use %ldconfig_scriptlets. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Removing_ldconfig_scriptlets

 - In order to avoid unintentional SONAME bump, globbing the malor soname version is forbidden, be more specific instead:

%{_libdir}/libmongoclient.so.1*

 - The license file must be installed with %license, not %doc

%doc README.md
%license APACHE-2.0.txt

 - Have you tried to unbundle third_party, especially gtest.

 - Look at THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES: there are several included programs with various licenses: add them to the License field and install THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES in %files with %license.

 - Cleanup the commented out code if it's not needed
 
Package Review
==============

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


Issues:
=======
- ldconfig not called in %post and %postun for Fedora 28 and later.
  Note: /sbin/ldconfig called in mongo-cxx-driver-legacy
  See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Removing_ldconfig_scriptlets
- If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s)
  in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the license(s)
  for the package is included in %license.
  Note: License file disallow_copying.h is not marked as %license

Comment 2 Marek Skalický 2018-10-03 13:47:22 UTC
Thanks for the review.

I've changed:
- Group: and scriptlets are removed
- fixed soname glob in %files
- License: is updated and %license is used (also THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES file is installed as license)
- removed unused code
- added 'Conflicts:      mongo-cxx-driver-devel' for -devel subpackage (both use same file location)

Now I was trying to unbundle gtest, but mongo-cxx-driver-legacy don't compile with this change.
Upstream doen't support unbundling, gtest is test only dependency and other bundled libs are really small and aren't packaged in Fedora). So in this case IMHO bundling isn't big problem.

Also I've realized that newer version is available - 1.1.3 (instead of 1.1.2). So rebase to this version was done.

Comment 3 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-10-03 16:27:41 UTC
 - License:        ASL 2.0 && MIT && BSD && zlib && Public Domain

Are you sure using && is ok? Never seen it used before, usually it's "and".

Actually it doesn't work:

mongo-cxx-driver-legacy-devel.x86_64: W: invalid-license ASL 2.0 && MIT && BSD && zlib && Public Domain


 - There's still a Group:          Development/Libraries in the devel subpackage.

 - I forgot to mention something last time:

mongo-cxx-driver-legacy.x86_64: W: crypto-policy-non-compliance-openssl /usr/lib64/libmongoclient.so.1.1.3 SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list

crypto-policy-non-compliance-openssl:
This application package calls a function to explicitly set crypto ciphers for
SSL/TLS. That may cause the application not to use the system-wide set
cryptographic policy and should be modified in accordance to:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:CryptoPolicies

Read the above page and take appropriate action in src/mongo/util/net/ssl_manager.cpp:585

Comment 5 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-10-04 12:10:23 UTC
All ok, package approved.

Comment 6 Marek Skalický 2018-10-04 14:26:36 UTC
Thanks for the quick review.

Comment 7 Gwyn Ciesla 2018-10-04 14:31:50 UTC
