Description Ben Rosser 2019-10-14 13:00:27 UTC
Spec URL: https://tc01.fedorapeople.org/ocaml/lwt/ocaml-ocplib-endian.spec
SRPM URL: https://tc01.fedorapeople.org/ocaml/lwt/ocaml-ocplib-endian-1.0-1.fc30.src.rpm

Description: Optimised functions to read and write int16/32/64 from strings,
bytes and bigarrays, based on primitives added in version 4.01.

The library implements three modules:

EndianString works directly on strings, and provides submodules
BigEndian and LittleEndian, with their unsafe counter-parts;
EndianBytes works directly on bytes, and provides submodules
BigEndian and LittleEndian, with their unsafe counter-parts;
EndianBigstring works on bigstrings (Bigarrays of chars),
and provides submodules BigEndian and LittleEndian, with their
unsafe counter-parts;

Fedora Account System Username: tc01

This is a new dependency for the lwt.unix module in ocaml-lwt.

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

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


Issues:
=======
- If your application is a C or C++ application you must list a
  BuildRequires against gcc, gcc-c++ or clang.
  Note: No gcc, gcc-c++ or clang found in BuildRequires
  See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/C_and_C++/


===== MUST items =====

C/C++:
[-]: Provides: bundled(gnulib) in place as required.
     Note: Sources not installed
[-]: Package does not contain kernel modules.
[-]: Package contains no static executables.
[x]: Package does not contain any libtool archives (.la)
[x]: Rpath absent or only used for internal libs.

Generic:
[x]: Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets
     other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging
     Guidelines.
[x]: License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
     Note: There is no build directory. Running licensecheck on vanilla
     upstream sources. No licenses found. Please check the source files for
     licenses manually.

It looks like fedora-review screwed up here, but I checked
the source files and (some of them) have licenses.

[x]: License file installed when any subpackage combination is installed.
[x]: Package does not own files or directories owned by other packages.
     Note: Dirs in package are owned also by: /usr/lib64/ocaml/ocplib-
     endian(set, defaulting, locale,, Failed, C, to), /usr/share/doc/ocaml-
     ocplib-endian(set, defaulting, locale,, Failed, C, to),
     /usr/share/licenses/ocaml-ocplib-endian(set, defaulting, locale,,
     Failed, C, to)

Another bug in fedora-review.  The actual directory ownerships are fine.

[-]: %build honors applicable compiler flags or justifies otherwise.
[x]: Package contains no bundled libraries without FPC exception.
[x]: Changelog in prescribed format.
[x]: Sources contain only permissible code or content.
[-]: Package contains desktop file if it is a GUI application.
[x]: Development files must be in a -devel package
[x]: Package uses nothing in %doc for runtime.
[x]: Package consistently uses macros (instead of hard-coded directory
     names).
[x]: Package is named according to the Package Naming Guidelines.
[x]: Package does not generate any conflict.

I think it's possible there's a conflict with an existing
ocaml-ocplib-* package, but if there is we'll resolve this later in
Fedora.

[x]: Package obeys FHS, except libexecdir and /usr/target.
[-]: If the package is a rename of another package, proper Obsoletes and
     Provides are present.
[-]: Requires correct, justified where necessary.
[x]: Spec file is legible and written in American English.
[-]: Package contains systemd file(s) if in need.
[x]: Useful -debuginfo package or justification otherwise.
[x]: Package is not known to require an ExcludeArch tag.
[-]: Large documentation must go in a -doc subpackage. Large could be size
     (~1MB) or number of files.
     Note: Documentation size is 10240 bytes in 2 files.
[x]: Package complies to the Packaging Guidelines
[x]: Package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at least
     one supported primary architecture.
[x]: Package installs properly.
[x]: Rpmlint is run on all rpms the build produces.
     Note: There are rpmlint messages (see attachment).
[x]: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the
     license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the
     license(s) for the package is included in %license.
[x]: Package requires other packages for directories it uses.
[x]: Package must own all directories that it creates.
[x]: Package uses either %{buildroot} or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
[x]: Package does not run rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT) at the
     beginning of %install.
[x]: Macros in Summary, %description expandable at SRPM build time.
[x]: Dist tag is present.
[x]: Package does not contain duplicates in %files.
[x]: Permissions on files are set properly.
[x]: Package must not depend on deprecated() packages.
[x]: Package use %makeinstall only when make install DESTDIR=... doesn't
     work.
[x]: Package is named using only allowed ASCII characters.
[x]: Package does not use a name that already exists.
[x]: Package is not relocatable.
[x]: Sources used to build the package match the upstream source, as
     provided in the spec URL.
[x]: Spec file name must match the spec package %{name}, in the format
     %{name}.spec.
[x]: File names are valid UTF-8.
[x]: Packages must not store files under /srv, /opt or /usr/local

Ocaml:
[x]: This should never happen

===== SHOULD items =====

Generic:
[!]: Uses parallel make %{?_smp_mflags} macro.

If this breaks the build it is not required, but it would be a good
idea to test this and/or add a comment to the %build section.

[x]: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a separate
     file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it.
[x]: Final provides and requires are sane (see attachments).
[!]: Fully versioned dependency in subpackages if applicable.
     Note: No Requires: %{name}%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release} in ocaml-
     ocplib-endian-devel

This could be missing?

[ ]: Package functions as described.
[x]: Latest version is packaged.
[x]: Package does not include license text files separate from upstream.
[ ]: Sources are verified with gpgverify first in %prep if upstream
     publishes signatures.
     Note: gpgverify is not used.
[-]: Description and summary sections in the package spec file contains
     translations for supported Non-English languages, if available.
[x]: Package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported
     architectures.
[x]: %check is present and all tests pass.
[ ]: Packages should try to preserve timestamps of original installed
     files.
[x]: Reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
[x]: Buildroot is not present
[x]: Package has no %clean section with rm -rf %{buildroot} (or
     $RPM_BUILD_ROOT)
[x]: No file requires outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin.
[x]: Packager, Vendor, PreReq, Copyright tags should not be in spec file
[x]: Sources can be downloaded from URI in Source: tag
[x]: SourceX is a working URL.
[x]: Spec use %global instead of %define unless justified.

===== EXTRA items =====

Generic:
[x]: Rpmlint is run on debuginfo package(s).
     Note: No rpmlint messages.
[x]: Rpmlint is run on all installed packages.
     Note: There are rpmlint messages (see attachment).
[x]: Large data in /usr/share should live in a noarch subpackage if package
     is arched.
[x]: Spec file according to URL is the same as in SRPM.



I also checked rpmlint output and provides/requires and it all looks
sane to me.

There are a few [!] items above - please check them!

Thanks for the review!

Switched to "%make_build build"; it seems to work fine.

Ouch, yes, my bad. I wrote "isa" instead of "_isa"... fixed.

Those were the two [!]s, let me know if anything else needs changing.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2019-10-14 15:37:04 UTC
Only two small changes were requested during the review, and I have manually
checked they were both done.

======================
Therefore this package is APPROVED by rjones

Comment 4 Gwyn Ciesla 2019-10-14 15:46:34 UTC
(fedscm-admin):  The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ocaml-ocplib-endian

Comment 5 Ben Rosser 2019-10-14 16:07:48 UTC
Hmm... the tests failed on s390x.

https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/2536/38292536/build.log

Guessing this is because it's a big endian architecture; the failure happens in this block:

https://github.com/OCamlPro/ocplib-endian/blob/master/tests/test_bigstring.cppo.ml#L129

I'm tempted to report this upstream and just turn off the tests on s390x for now, so we can get this in and fix lwt.

Comment 6 Richard W.M. Jones 2019-10-14 16:42:54 UTC
Definitely make sure it's reported upstream - thanks!

Comment 7 Ben Rosser 2019-10-14 17:16:37 UTC
Filed this upstream: https://github.com/OCamlPro/ocplib-endian/issues/20

It's now built successfully for Rawhide; will build for F31 too.
