Description Ben Rosser 2019-08-30 20:56:48 UTC
Spec URL: https://tc01.fedorapeople.org/python/cocotb/cocotb.spec
SRPM URL: https://tc01.fedorapeople.org/python/cocotb/cocotb-1.2.0-1.fc30.src.rpm

Description:
cocotb is a coroutine based cosimulation library for writing VHDL
and Verilog testbenches in Python.

Fedora Account System Username: tc01

This is a Python package, but I've opted to call it "cocotb" and not "python-cocotb" because it's not a standard Python library: it's a verification framework for embedding Python inside a Verilog/VHDL simulator at runtime.

As a result it ships with a bunch of C code (and triggers a "devel-file-in-non-devel-package") warning. But these aren't really "devel" files here: the way cocotb is used, at present, is that the libraries for the simulator get rebuilt when you start the simulation. So they are always needed.

I've made the package "noarch" even though it contains this source code, as the libraries aren't built at compile/install time-- only at run time. I am not totally sure this is correct. I can certainly change the package to be arched (especially as there is some upstream discussion about making it possible to ship prebuilt libraries) if that is the right thing to do.

cocotb _can_ be used with proprietary Verilog/VHDL simulators. But it also is fully usable with the open-source ones (iverilog and ghdl, which are Recommended by the package). To that end, I think it is acceptable for Fedora; it doesn't need the proprietary ones to work.

cocotb fully supports Python 3. :)

Comment 1 Jerry James 2019-09-17 18:49:38 UTC
I can take this review.  I'll have something later tonight to ask you to review.  It should be really easy; it's a header-only development library.

Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated

Issues:
=======
- About the name of the package, you have asserted that this is not a standard
  python library.  Yet I look at the tests and the examples, and I see
  "import cocotb".  I look at the final RPM, and I see a python module plus one
  binary, /usr/bin/cocotb-config, which certainly does not sound like the name
  of an application.  This sure looks like a Python module.  I think it should
  have the "python-" prefix.

- The "noarch" tag simply means that the exact same files are installed on
  every architecture, so that is the right thing to do for now.  If upstream
  does decide to ship prebuilt libraries, then you'll have to change that.
  Even then, though, I would argue for making the main package contain only
  the arch-specific bits, and have a noarch subpackage that contains the noarch
  bits.

- This line is unnecessary:

  Requires:       python3dist(setuptools)

  If you run "rpm -q --requires" on the binary rpm, you will see something like
  this among the results (this is for a Rawhide build):

  python3.8dist(setuptools)

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

- These lines in %prep confuse me:

  # Remove bundled egg-info
  rm -rf %{pypi_name}.egg-info

  There is no such directory in the upstream tarball.  Even if there were, it
  would be egg metadata, not an egg package, so not necesssary to remove.  See
  https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python_Eggs/#_upstream_egg_packages

- For the change to the shebang in bin/combine_results.py, in addition to
  changing from unversioned python to python3, also get rid of /usr/bin/env,
  perhaps like this:

  sed 's/env python/python3/g' -i bin/combine_results.py

- You might want to tell upstream about python 3.8 incompatibilities (seen in
  the build log):

     use names beginning with python2- or python3- as appropriate.
[x]: Python packages must not contain %{pythonX_site(lib|arch)}/* in %files

Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2019-09-17 22:52:59 UTC
This will break with Python 3.10:

%{python3_sitelib}/%{pypi_name}-%{version}-py?.?.egg-info

Comment 4 Ben Rosser 2019-09-18 09:25:47 UTC
Thanks for taking this! Let me know what you'd like me to review in exchange.

> - About the name of the package, you have asserted that this is not a standard
  python library.  Yet I look at the tests and the examples, and I see
  "import cocotb".  I look at the final RPM, and I see a python module plus one
  binary, /usr/bin/cocotb-config, which certainly does not sound like the name
  of an application.  This sure looks like a Python module.  I think it should
  have the "python-" prefix.

Well... while it's true that the Python parts of the code can be imported as a normal Python package, much of the code is only usable when running embedded inside a RTL simulator, which is why I asserted it's not a standard Python library.

I take your point that it's not really an "application", but I think there's still some utility in letting users find it by the upstream name. How would you feel about renaming the package to 'python-cocotb' but keeping 'cocotb' as a provide?

> python3.8dist(setuptools)

Will remove. pyp2rpm still thinks it needs to manually list Python dependencies-- I guess this probably should get updated upstream.

> These lines in %prep confuse me:

Also put in by pyp2rpm automatically, and I didn't bother to remove it. Happy to get rid of it.

> For the change to the shebang in bin/combine_results.py, in addition to
  changing from unversioned python to python3, also get rid of /usr/bin/env,
  perhaps like this:

Will fix.

>  You might want to tell upstream about python 3.8 incompatibilities (seen in
  the build log):

Will pass these on.

> %{python3_sitelib}/%{pypi_name}-%{version}-py?.?.egg-info

This is another pyp2rpm-generated line. It's probably worth getting this fixed in pyp2rpm upstream too (certainly, I have other Python packages with this in my %files list and I'm sure other people do too).

I will fix it here (I guess one simple fix is to change the second "?" to a "*") though.

Can you take bug 1753084?  It should be an easy review (famous last words).

I think that's fine.  I also think that the reason for requiring the "python-" prefix applies to this package, even though it isn't a traditional library.  If there is ever a python 4, then this package will need dual subpackages for python3 and python4 just as much as traditional libraries do.

Comment 6 Ben Rosser 2019-09-24 11:41:28 UTC
Okay, I've submitted a patch upstream to resolve the backwards compatibility / syntax warning problems:

https://github.com/cocotb/cocotb/pull/1123

I believe I've applied all the other comments, including renaming the package accordingly:

Spec URL: https://tc01.fedorapeople.org/python/cocotb/python-cocotb.spec
SRPM URL: https://tc01.fedorapeople.org/python/cocotb/python-cocotb-1.2.0-2.fc30.src.rpm

- Rename package to 'python-cocotb', provide 'cocotb'.
- Remove unnecessary manual dependency on setuptools.
- Remove unnecessary removal of egg info file.
- Change combine_results script to not use "env" to find python3 interpreter
- Change egg info file in files list to use '*' instead of '?' pattern matching.

Comment 7 Miro Hrončok 2019-09-24 12:13:34 UTC
# iverilog and ghdl are the FOSS simulators. cocotb supports both.
# We need them to run the tests.
# It isn't *strictly* necessary to have them installed, though, especially
# since cocotb also supports non-FOSS simulators. Thus, use a weak dep to
# pull them in (but allow someone to remove them if necessary).
Recommends:     iverilog, ghdl
BuildRequires:  iverilog, ghdl


The recommends will not be applied to the python3-cocotb package, but to the python-cocotb package (that is not being created at the end, hence, the recommends are no-op).

Comment 8 Ben Rosser 2019-09-24 12:29:57 UTC
Oops, yes, I forgot to move them into the subpackage (now that there is one).

Fixed:

Looks good now.  This package is APPROVED.
