Comment 1 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2019-04-01 18:44:54 UTC
 - AUTHORS should go in %doc:

%files
%doc AUTHORS CHANGELOG.md README.md
%license COPYING
%{_libdir}/%{name}.so.*

%files devel
%license COPYING

 - In order to avoid unintentional SONAME bumps, we now forbid globbing the *major* SONAME version:

%{_libdir}/%{name}.so.*

 - Fix line encoding in %prep:

libunarr.x86_64: W: wrong-file-end-of-line-encoding /usr/share/doc/libunarr/README.md

 - Not really needed for F > 28

%ldconfig_scriptlets

 Might keep it for EPEL7.

Quick fix:

Spec URL: https://atim.fedorapeople.org/for-review/libunarr.spec
SRPM URL: https://atim.fedorapeople.org/for-review/libunarr-1.0.1-2.fc30.src.rpm

But i still need to work on this:

 >  In order to avoid unintentional SONAME bumps, we now forbid globbing the *major* SONAME version.

Should i notify about this upstream?

@Robert-André Mauchin, thank you for review. Learned a lot again.

It has nothing to do with upstream, it's purely a SPEC problem.
Instead of using:

%{_libdir}/%{name}.so.*

Use:

%{_libdir}/%{name}.so.1*

That way, if upstream bump tho major soname to 2 (indicating an API change), your package won't build automatically, you will need to manually bump the SONAME. That procedure requires you to notify the devel mailing list one week in advance so that consumer of your package can rebuild their packages once the SONAME bump happens.

Comment 4 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2019-04-01 20:13:13 UTC
It's documented here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Rawhide_.2F_devel_.2F_master

"When a proposed update contains an ABI or API change: notify a week in advance both fedora-devel and maintainers directly (using the packagename-owner@ alias) whose packages depend on yours to rebuild or offer to do these rebuilds for them."

Comment 6 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2019-04-01 21:10:19 UTC
Great, package approved.

Comment 7 Gwyn Ciesla 2019-04-02 13:36:21 UTC
(fedscm-admin):  The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libunarr
