Description:
butt (broadcast using this tool) is an easy to use, multi OS streaming tool.
It supports ShoutCast and IceCast and runs on Linux, MacOS and Windows.  The
main purpose of butt is to stream live audio data from your computers Mic or
Line input to an Shoutcast or Icecast server.  Recording is also possible.  It
is NOT intended to be a server by itself or automatically stream a set of audio
files.

Comment 2 Carl George 2019-04-06 00:08:30 UTC
Thanks for the review Robert.

I'll convert those devel packages to pkgconfig format when I import the package.

I sent upstream an email about the FSF address.

Comment 3 Igor Raits 2019-04-07 08:52:14 UTC
(fedscm-admin):  The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/butt

Comment 4 Carl George 2019-04-07 17:44:25 UTC
While verifying the pkgconfig provides, I re-read the guidelines for this [0], and noticed that it only applies when the software is using pkg-config to locate the library.  In this case most of the libraries are detected by AC_CHECK_LIB [1], with the exception of dbus, which is detected with PKG_CHECK_MODULES.  As such the only change I made was:

-BuildRequires:  dbus-devel
+BuildRequires:  pkgconfig(dbus-1)

I kind of disagree with this. This is true that the guidelines say: "Fedora packages which use pkg-config to build against a library" but the rationale expressed below:

"Where package names change, and/or a required pkgconfig module is later provided by a different package, these hard-coded dependencies break."

is true even if the package doesn't use it internally.

Comment 6 Carl George 2019-04-07 23:43:19 UTC
For posterity, the guidelines currently state:

> Fedora packages which use pkg-config to build against a library (e.g. 'foo') on which they depend, SHOULD express their build dependency correctly as pkgconfig(foo).

butt doesn't use pkg-config to build against any of those other libraries.  I understand the intent of trying to guard against future name changes, but if it's not using pkg-config then a dependency on pkgconfig(foo) would be incorrect.

Of course if the guidelines are updated to the effect of "use the pkgconfig(foo) form whenever possible, even if the software isn't using pkg-config to build against the library", I'll happily update the spec file as needed.  As it stands, this is just a SHOULD item, so I don't think we need to come to an agreement on it.

As always Robert thanks for your review and your input.
