Description Guillaume Fayard 2019-05-05 10:24:51 UTC
Spec URL: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/arkelis/simple-dnf/fedora-30-x86_64/00903979-simple-dnf/simple-dnf.spec
SRPM URL: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/arkelis/simple-dnf/fedora-30-x86_64/00903979-simple-dnf/simple-dnf-0.1.2-2.fc30.src.rpm

Description:
Simple DNF is a fast and simple graphical utility to manage packages and perform basic operations, like Synaptic but for DNF-based Linux distributions.

Fedora Account System Username: arkelis

Note: This is my first package, I therefore need a sponsor! :) I informed upstream maintainer that I would submit his software to Fedora repositories. I also made several commits to source code.

Source code repository: https://github.com/Arkelis/simple_dnf

Comment 1 Fabian Affolter 2019-05-12 16:25:26 UTC
Just some comments to get started:

- Docs are missing -> %doc README.md
- LICENSE is missing -> %license LICENSE
- Is "poetry>=0.12" provided by python3-dnfdaemon?
- .desktop file be included in the source as other distribution may need it too
- Changelog entry is missing release
- There are translations (locales/fr/LC_MESSAGES). They should be included.

Comment 2 Fabian Affolter 2019-05-12 16:27:13 UTC
My biggest concern is that this package is a fork of https://github.com/hyakosm/simple_dnf.

Comment 3 Guillaume Fayard 2019-05-25 21:29:39 UTC
Thanks for your comments!

Poetry is just a dev dependency.
What do you mean by including locale files?

Package has been updated:
- SPEC: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/arkelis/simple-dnf/fedora-30-x86_64/00908268-simple-dnf/simple-dnf.spec
- SRPM: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/arkelis/simple-dnf/fedora-30-x86_64/00908268-simple-dnf/simple-dnf-0.1.2-3.fc30.src.rpm

Yes it is a fork, but changes are meant to be merged into upstream (main maintainer is currently busy).

Comment 4 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2019-06-06 18:59:18 UTC
 - What's this?

AutoReqProv:    no

 - Use a better name for the archive:

Source0:        https://github.com/Arkelis/%{pyname}/archive/v{%version}/%{pyname}-%{version}.tar.gz

 - What's this patch? What does it do? Why is it needed? Add a comment to explain so:

Patch0:         simple-dnf.patch

 - Remove the shebang in %prep:

simple-dnf.noarch: E: non-executable-script /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/simple_dnf/__main__.py 644 /usr/bin/python3 

 - Remove executable bits in %prep:

simple-dnf.noarch: W: spurious-executable-perm /usr/share/doc/simple-dnf/README.md

 - Use a better name for the archive:

Source0:        https://github.com/Arkelis/%{pyname}/archive/v{%version}/%{pyname}-%{version}.tar.gz

Package approved, please fix the aforementioned issue.
