Description:
The HepMC3 package is an object oriented, C++ event record for
High Energy Physics Monte Carlo generators and simulation.
Since the first implementation, described in M. Dobbs and J.B. Hansen
(Comput. Phys. Commun. 134 (2001) 41), the package has undergone
several modifications and in particular, the latest HepMC3 series is a
completely new re-write using currently available C++11 techniques.

Fedora Account System Username: ellert

This is a new version of the HepMC library already available in Fedora.
However, it is not an update that is a drop in replacement for the old version.
The new version is written to be parallel installable with the old version without conflicts in library names and install paths, so that both versions can bi installed at the same time.

Comment 1 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2019-03-04 17:06:11 UTC
 - make %{?_smp_mflags} → %make_build

 - make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot} → %make_install

 - The libraries should be versioned:

%{_libdir}/libHepMC3.so

%{_libdir}/libHepMC3search.so


See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_downstream_so_name_versioning

In cases where upstream ships unversioned .so library (so this is not needed for plugins, drivers, etc.), the packager MUST try to convince upstream to start versioning it.

If that fails due to unwilling or unresposive upstream, the packager may start versioning downstream but this must be done with caution and ideally only in rare cases. We don’t want to create a library that could conflict with upstream if they later start providing versioned shared libraries. Under no circumstances should the unversioned library be shipped in Fedora.

For downstream versioning, the name should be composed like this:

libfoobar.so.0.n

The n should initially be a small integer (for instance, "1"). we use two digits here ("0.n") because the common practice with upstreams is to use only a single digit here. Using multiple digits helps us avoid potential future conflicts. Do not forget to add the SONAME field (see below) to the library.

When new versions of the library are released, you should use an ABI comparison tool to check for ABI differences in the built shared libraries. If it detects any incompatibilities, bump the n number by one.

→ Ask upstream to adopt SONAME versioning.

Comment 2 Mattias Ellert 2019-03-05 10:11:49 UTC
(In reply to Robert-André Mauchin from comment #1)
>  - make %{?_smp_mflags} → %make_build
> 
>  - make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot} → %make_install

I know these macros exist. I find them to be obfuscating and confusing and not at all helpful or clarifying. So not using them was a conscious decision on my part. For me they make the specfile harder to read.

I contacted uppstream and they added a soname, I have added a patch with this change taken from the upstream git in this updated version:

Comment 3 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2019-03-05 14:37:43 UTC
 - Note: %ldconfig_scriptlets is not needed anymore on F30/Rawhide. If you plan for F29/EPEL, it's ok to keep it.

 - There are issues with the interface subpackage. It contains include files and require a -devel dependency:

HepMC3-interfaces.noarch: E: devel-dependency HepMC3-devel

   Should this be a interfaces-devel package instead?

This is for EPEL 7 too.
