Description Björn 'besser82' Esser 2019-07-17 12:38:11 UTC
Description:

  PTXdist is a build system for firmware images.  It is developed
  by an Open Source Community including Pengutronix since 2001.
  The configuration system Kconfig, known from the Linux kernel,
  is used to select and configure each package.  The collection
  of recipes is based on GNU Make and Bash.


Issues:

  fedora-review shows no obvious issues.
  rpmlint rants about some (needed, but empty or hidden) files.

 - Use macros

Source0:        https://public.pengutronix.de/software/ptxdist/ptxdist-%{version}.tar.bz2

 - BuildRequires:  python2-devel

Python 2 is now obsoleted, you need an FPC exception to depend on it.

Fixed.  I overlooked to change that before I uploaded the package.

If you refer to this [1], I suppose it will be needed for fc32+.  I cannot find any guideline that enforces an exception during the current development cycle.  Anyways, I've filed a ticket [2] with FESCo for such an exception.

Comment 4 Miro Hrončok 2019-07-18 06:40:47 UTC
There is no python27-devel, just python27.

You need an exception to package something for Python 2 since Fedora 30, because it is already against the guidelines: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/

You *also* need an exception to keep the package in Fedora 32 once it is branched because of Python 2 retirement: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePython2#FESCo_exceptions

Comment 5 Package Review 2020-07-18 00:45:28 UTC
This is an automatic check from review-stats script.

This review request ticket hasn't been updated for some time. We're sorry
it is taking so long. If you're still interested in packaging this software
into Fedora repositories, please respond to this comment clearing the
NEEDINFO flag.

You may want to update the specfile and the src.rpm to the latest version
available and to propose a review swap on Fedora devel mailing list to increase
chances to have your package reviewed. If this is your first package and you
need a sponsor, you may want to post some informal reviews. Read more at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group.

Without any reply, this request will shortly be considered abandoned
and will be closed.
Thank you for your patience.
