Description Patrice Dumas 2006-02-02 10:04:38 UTC
SRPM Name or Url: http://www.environnement.ens.fr/perso/dumas/fc-srpms/netcdf_handler-3.5.2-1.src.rpm
Description:

This is the netcdf data handler for our data server. It reads netcdf 3
files and returns DAP responses that are compatible with DAP2 and the
dap-server 3.5 software.

Comment 1 Patrice Dumas 2006-02-02 10:08:43 UTC
This bug depends on #179707, but circular dependencies are not allowed.

Comment 2 Ed Hill 2006-02-16 03:42:02 UTC
Hi Patrice, I took a quick look at this package and noticed two blockers:

 - License is LGPL not GPL
 - The package naming does not follow the packaging guidelines in two
   ways:
     1) the "_" delimiter is not permitted
     2) this is an addon package so its name should be 
        "dap-server-netcdf-handler" or similar

Comment 3 Patrice Dumas 2006-02-16 08:18:07 UTC
There is an exception when there is a _ in the upstream name:

"packages where the upstream name naturally contains an underscore are excluded
from this."

But I agree that there should be dap somewhere in the name. After some thinking,
I  am not convinced anymore that the handlers should depend on dap-server.
Although it is unlikely, they could be used as stand alone apps, so I propose
removing dependency on dap-server and calling the handler

dap-netcdf_handler

and so on, to retain the upstream _ but have a more informative name. Would this
suit you?

Comment 4 Ed Hill 2006-02-19 16:35:11 UTC
Hi Patrice, yes the "dap-netcdf_handler" name is fine so please go ahead 
and post an updated SRPM and I'll continue with the review.

Here is the updated srpm:

Looks good, I don't see any blockers:

8d4d9ff2cca772f840b3b5449addeefc  dap-netcdf_handler-3.5.2-1.src.rpm

good:
 + source matches upstream
 + builds in mock on FC4
 + rpmlint reports no warnings or errors
 + spec is simple and easily read
 + dir ownership is good
 + license is good, and correctly included
 + no shared libs

APPROVED.
