Description Andy Burns 2006-02-02 17:54:49 UTC
Spec Url: http://adslpipe.co.uk/fedora/extras/eiciel/eiciel.spec
SRPM Url: http://adslpipe.co.uk/fedora/extras/eiciel/eiciel-0.9-4.src.rpm

Description: 

Eiciel is a graphical editor for access control lists 
either as an extension within nautilus, or as a standalone utility.

Notes:

This is my first package, so I thoroughly expect you to easily be able
to pull holes in it ;-) Comments gratefully received, hints even more gratefully received.

One step which I don't know how to handle at the moment, after installing the RPM you need to "killall nautilus" so that it picks up the new extensions, obviously it wouldn't be particularly friendly to do that in a post script!

I've only built and run it on rawhide x86_64 so far, can't install an i386 machine until rawhide is in a better mood.

I've done an rpmlint on it, two errors, one warning

E: eiciel standard-dir-owned-by-package /usr/share/man
E: eiciel standard-dir-owned-by-package /usr/share/man/man1

I tried to fix the errors by changing the %files under %{_mandir} but it doesn't seem to have helped.

W: eiciel devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/lib64/nautilus/extensions-1.0/libeiciel-nautilus.a

I'm not sure if the warning is significant, I can't see having an eiciel-devel package being very likely, should the .a file stay or go, or the warning be ignored?

Comment 2 Andy Burns 2006-02-02 20:31:30 UTC
To see the extra ACL properties tab within nautilus you need at least one of
your filesystems to be mounted with "-o acl" 

A basic familiarity with getfacl/setfacl would be useful too
http://acl.bestbits.at/



Comment 3 Andy Burns 2006-02-03 12:46:59 UTC
Just to note that I've now built and installed this on rawhide i386 too.

In addition I've uploaded the x86_64 and i386 RPMS to 
http://adslpipe.co.uk/fedora/extras/eiciel

The gcc4.1 patch has been accepted upstream, so will disappear for 0.9.1

Talking with the developer the .a library which causes the rpmlint warning is
probably best removed from the RPM, is there a way to ignore it in the %files
section, or just "rm" it after "make" and before "make install"

I'm still getting the rpmlint errors about ownership of the man files, also when
I tried an rpmbuild --rebuild of the SRPM file on i386 I got a warning about the
man file being present twice.

You can either remove it in %install, or use %exclude for the file in the %files
list.

%{_mandir}/man1/eiciel* is also included as part of %{_datadir}/*

Be more specific in what you're including in the files list.


Comment 5 Andy Burns 2006-02-03 14:22:24 UTC
Thanks for that ...

I've excluded the .a file, and been more specific about the %files
now it builds and rebuilds clean on i386 and x86_64 plus rpmlint is silent.

I presume that because %doc matches all the files under /usr/share/doc it's best
to remove my (currently commented) %{_datadir}/doc/eiciel*/*

Similarly I believe that RPM is clever enough to work out the Requires: for
itself, so my commented Requires: should be removed too? Or if it's not so
clever as I've assumed I should check more closely the actual Requires:

I only get a -debuginfo package produced on x86_64, does that indicate a problem?

All files refreshed to http://adslpipe.co.uk/fedora/extras/eiciel

I think I should go through a typical review checklist in a "muttering to
myself" fashion ...

Yes.

> clever as I've assumed I should check more closely the actual Requires:

Look at the dependencies of your built package:

$ rpm -qp --requires /path/to/eiciel*.x86_64.rpm

There should be dependencies for the required shared libraries, normally
satisfied by the libacl, libattr, and gnome-vfs2 packages, so there should be no
need to explictly require these packages.

> I only get a -debuginfo package produced on x86_64, does that indicate a problem?

Maybe you don't have redhat-rpm-config installed on your i386 system?

That's always a good idea.

Comment 7 Andy Burns 2006-02-03 16:10:25 UTC
******* SELF REVIEW ******

      - MUST: rpmlint must be run on every package. The output should be posted
in the review.

# rpmlint -v eiciel-0.9-5.x86_64.rpm
I: eiciel checking

seems nice

# rpmlint -v eiciel-0.9-5.i386.rpm
I: eiciel checking
W: eiciel unstripped-binary-or-object
/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-1.0/libeiciel-nautilus.so.0.0.0
W: eiciel unstripped-binary-or-object /usr/bin/eiciel

so why did this happen on i386  but not x86_64, I have a pretty mininal install
on i386, some -devel tool missing perhaps?

# rpmlint -v eiciel-0.9-5.src.rpm
I: eiciel checking
W: eiciel strange-permission eiciel-gcc41.patch 0646

ok, my original file, I did chmod it when passing it between root and another
user, what is normal? 644?

      - MUST: The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines.

I beieve this is straighforward "eiciel" though I do keep mistyping it :-)

I see that the template .spec file does use %{?dist} take, but I don't get .fc5
in make RPMs is that ok for me, will it be ok in buildsys?

      - MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the
format %{name}.spec

"eiciel.spec", tick

      - MUST: The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines.

hmm, should I really treat the packaging guidelines as a checklist within a
checklist?

      - MUST: The package must be licensed with an open-source compatible
license and meet other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of
Packaging Guidelines.

Copying file is GPL2, most cpp/hpp files have explicit GPL2 in them, necessary
to check them all individually?

      - MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual
license.

GPL, tick

      - MUST: 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 must be included in %doc.

COPYING in %doc

      - MUST: The spec file must be written in American English.

tick

      - MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible. If the reviewer is
unable to read the spec file, it will be impossible to perform a review. Fedora
Extras is not the place for entries into the Obfuscated Code Contest ([WWW]
http://www.ioccc.org/).

I hope it's clean, I'll remove my commented section(s) following advice

      - MUST: The sources used to build the package must match the upstream
source, as provided in the spec URL. Reviewers should use md5sum for this task.

hmm, kind of like marking my own essay, but
a083609380ec8272b3693cbaee184f13  eiciel-0.9.tar.bz2

      - MUST: The package must successfully compile and build into binary rpms
on at least one supported architecture.

i386 and x86_64

      - MUST: If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on an
architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec in 
ExcludeArch. Each architecture listed in ExcludeArch needs to have a bug filed
in bugzilla, describing the reason that the package does not compile/build/work
on that architecture. The bug number should then be placed in a comment, next to
the corresponding ExcludeArch line. New packages will not have bugzilla entries
during the review process, so they should put this description in the comment
until the package is approved, then file the bugzilla entry, and replace the
long explanation with the bug number. The bug should be marked as blocking one
(or more) of the following bugs to simplify tracking such issues: [WWW]
FE-ExcludeArch-x86, [WWW] FE-ExcludeArch-x64, [WWW] FE-ExcludeArch-ppc

status unknown on other arches so far

      - MUST: A package must not contain any BuildRequires that are listed in
the exceptions section of Packaging Guidelines.

tick

      - MUST: All other Build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires.

hmm, fedora-rmdevelrpms wanted to remove packages that would cause broken
dependencies, I guess I need to setup mock to test this?

      - MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using
the %find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden.

got me bang to rights there, I'll look at how it's done

      - MUST: If the package contains shared library files located in the
dynamic linker's default paths, that package must call ldconfig in %post and
%postun.

my .so files stay well clear of /bin and /usr/bin is that enough?

      - MUST: If the package is designed to be relocatable, the packager must
state this fact in the request for review, along with the rationalization for
relocation of that specific package. Without this, use of Prefix: /usr is
considered a blocker.

tick

      - MUST: A package must own all directories that it creates. If it does not
create a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does
create that directory. The exception to this are directories listed explicitly
in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard ([WWW]
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html), as it is safe to assume that
those directories exist.

is this talking about directories it creates at runtime, or install time, what
about my dirs e.g /usr/share/eiceil ?

      - MUST: A package must not contain any duplicate files in the %files listing.

tick, thanks paul

      - MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be
set with executable permissions, for example. Every %files section must include
a %defattr(...) line.

hmmm, I din't make any change from the defattr the template gave me, presume
I've got some work to do here?

      - MUST: Each package must have a %clean section, which contains rm -rf
%{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).

tick

      - MUST: Each package must consistently use macros, as described in the
macros section of Packaging Guidelines.

I hope the mix of $XXX and %{xxx} that the template started with is allowed?

      - MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content. This is
described in detail in the code vs. content section of Packaging Guidelines.

no pr0n, tick

      - MUST: Large documentation files should go in a -docs subpackage. (The
definition of large is left up to the packager's best judgement, but is not
restricted to size. Large can refer to either size or quantity)

not needed

      - MUST: If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the
runtime of the application. To summarize: If it is in %doc, the program must run
properly if it is not present.

tick

      - MUST: Header files or static libraries must be in a -devel package.

removed

      - MUST: Files used by pkgconfig (.pc files) must be in a -devel package.

n/a

      - MUST: If a package contains library files with a suffix (e.g.
libfoo.so.1.1), then library files that end in .so (without suffix) must go in a
-devel package.

but softlinks without suffix, pointing to the files with suffix are ok, right?

      - MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the
base package using a fully versioned dependency.

n/a

      - MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these should
be removed in the spec.

guilty, I'll exclude it then

      - MUST: Packages containing GUI applications must include a
%{name}.desktop file, and that file must be properly installed with
desktop-file-install in the %install section. This is described in detail in the
desktop files section of Packaging Guidelines. If you feel that your packaged
GUI application does not need a .desktop file, you must put a comment in the
spec file with your explanation.

Ok, need to add this, it can be run standalone as well as from properties in
nautilus

      - MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other
packages. The rule of thumb here is that the first package to be installed
should own the files or directories that other packages may rely upon. This
means, for example, that no package in Fedora Extras should ever share ownership
with any of the files or directories owned by the filesystem or man package. If
you feel that you have a good reason to own a file or directory that another
package owns, then please present that at package review time.

think i'm clear here


      - SHOULD: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a
separate file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it.

n/a

      - SHOULD: The description and summary sections in the package spec file
should contain translations for supported Non-English languages, if available.

none provided 

      - SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.

not done so yet

      - SHOULD: The package should compile and build into binary rpms on all
supported architectures.

i386 and x86_64 so far

      - SHOULD: The reviewer should test that the package functions as
described. A package should not segfault instead of running, for example.

works for me, provided you have a filesystem mounted "-o acl" but doesn't crash
even if you don't

      - SHOULD: If scriptlets are used, those scriptlets must be sane. This is
vague, and left up to the reviewers judgement to determine sanity.

none

      - SHOULD: Usually, subpackages other than devel should require the base
package using a fully versioned dependency.

n/a


OK, so I've found a few things to change :-) better to eat my time first!


Comment 8 Andy Burns 2006-02-03 18:20:14 UTC
Just made some changes and uploaded to the usual place

installing redhat-rpm-config fixed a thing or two on the i386 box
Last time around I didn't rpmlint the -debuginfo RPM, 
I did this time and I get

# rpmlint -v eiciel-debuginfo-0.9-6.x86_64.rpm
I: eiciel-debuginfo checking
W: eiciel-debuginfo objdump-failed

is that another worry?

http://www.google.com/search?&q=rpmlint%20objdump-failed 
returns a googlewhack :-(

I though this was due to not havinf 755 permissions on the .so* file but I can't

Desktop Icon
============

Is the way I use "install" to copy the .png icon clean enough?

The eiciel icon appears under "Other" on the Applications menu, presumble I need
to change the way I use "desktop-file-install"?

Mock
====

Still not tried building in mock

Other

Any answers/hints/comments on my questions in my "self review" welcome




Comment 10 Michel Alexandre Salim 2006-02-05 02:46:46 UTC
You might want to add the GNOME and System categories.

Comment 11 Jeremy Katz 2006-02-15 23:03:24 UTC
The strange objdump stuff is because your %files section includes %{_libdir}/*
-- this then picks up the stuff under /usr/lib/debug which should only be in the
-debuginfo package.

Changing your files section to list things more explicitly should help there.

Comment 12 Paul Howarth 2006-02-21 15:55:31 UTC
Created attachment 124962 [details]
Patch fixing a few spec issues

* Don't include debuginfo in main package
* Make files list more specific
* Fix directory ownership
* Add missing buildreq nautilus

Package now builds in mock and has only one rpmlint warning (from the debuginfo
package), which I don't really understand.

You'll get them if you build it in mock, which includes the buildsys macros.
So it'll be alright in the buildsys.

Memorise the guidelines and bear them in mind when writing specs ;-)

Up to you. If the package has a README or equivalent that says what the license
for the package as a whole is, that will usually do.

Comments are OK, particularly if you do something "unusual" in a spec.

Yes. A test build in mock revealed that a buildreq of nautilus was needed.

The "dynamic linker's default path" are the directories listed in
/etc/ld.so.conf, not /bin, /usr/bin etc.

It's talking about either. You need to own /usr/share/eiceil for instance so
that the directory will be removed if the package is removed.

I don't think so. There don't appear to be any permissions issues that I can see.

Yes. Just don't mix variables and macros that do the same thing, e.g.
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT and %{buildroot} or $RPM_OPT_FLAGS and %{optflags}.

I don't know if /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-1.0/libeiciel-nautilus.so should be
in a -devel package or not; I don't know enough about shared objects to say.

I don't think so. You package currently claims everything under %{_libdir},
which includes /usr/lib/nautilus, owned by nautilus.


Comment 14 Chris Weyl 2006-06-28 04:20:32 UTC
Is this still your first package?  If so, you should add the bug FE-NEEDSPONSOR
to the list of bugs this one blocks.  Otherwise, it looks ready (IMHO, and after
updating to 0.9.2) for a review.

I didn't install and try it out -- though I would have liked to -- due to this
bit on the app's site:

"June 24th 2006 Eiciel 0.9.2 is out! This is just a small bugfix release for
GNOME 2.14 users. Nautilus will not hang now when the user opens properties of
Computer, Home or Trash locations in Nautilus (including the Desktop)."

Comment 15 Andy Burns 2006-07-03 11:18:18 UTC
(In reply to comment #14)

> Is this still your first package?  

yes it is

> If so, you should add the bug FE-NEEDSPONSOR
> to the list of bugs this one blocks. 

Ok, thanks for the prod, I'll update to latest source, push new versions, and
then add the blocker



Comment 16 Andy Burns 2006-07-04 00:26:02 UTC
I've updated the package to 0.9.2 and taken on board remaining comments received
so far, I've uploaded the SRPM and FC5 i386 RPMs to

http://adslpipe.co.uk/fedora/extras/eiciel/eiciel-0.9.2-3.src.rpm
http://adslpipe.co.uk/fedora/extras/eiciel/eiciel-0.9.2-3.i386.fc5.rpm
http://adslpipe.co.uk/fedora/extras/eiciel/eiciel-debuginfo-0.9.2-3.i386.fc5.rpm

I will build RPMs for FC5 x86_64 and FC6T1 i386 tomorrow



Comment 17 Andy Burns 2006-07-04 01:02:09 UTC
It took an extra version bump to build it for x86_64

0.9.2-4 SRPM and i386/x86_64 RPMs available at
http://adslpipe.co.uk/fedora/extras/eiciel



Comment 18 Andy Burns 2006-07-09 18:51:12 UTC
OK, I've taken on-board comments made by Michael Schwendt, spec file tidied up,
rebuilt and checked on FC5/i386, FC6-rawhide/i386 and FC5/x86_64

rpmlint is now silent, also I've done rpm2cpio xxx.rpm | cpio -itv
to check the files and directories inside the rpm make sense to me.

SPEC: http://adslpipe.co.uk/fedora/extras/eiciel/eiciel.spec
SRPM: http://adslpipe.co.uk/fedora/extras/eiciel/eiciel-0.9.2-5.src.rpm

I'd really appreciate any informal review(s), prior to seeking a formal review
and sponsor for this package :-)

My $0.02.  Note this is not a "you will be asked to change" but just a stylistic
suggestion: split the BuildRequires line into multiple BReq lines < 80 chars in
length.  Makes things easier to read.  For that matter, having standard-width
lines wherever practical makes things a touch easier...

That being said, I have eiciel built and installed from your package.  Tho I'm
only using it casually right now, it does appear to be working quite nicely :)

What you need to do:-
          I am not able to see Desktop file installed and can be executed from
Application->Accessories
          You need to add following lines
Requires(post): desktop-file-utils
Requires(postun): desktop-file-utils
...
%post
update-desktop-database &> /dev/null ||:

%postun
update-desktop-database &> /dev/null ||:

Comment 21 Michael Schwendt 2006-07-12 12:13:55 UTC
Doesn't sound right, because update-desktop-database is for MIME types.
It does not make a hidden or non-existant menu entry become visible.

It's under Applications->System Tools :)  And, FWIW, works here.

Comment 23 Paul Howarth 2006-07-12 17:18:13 UTC
Review:

- rpmlint clean
- package and spec file naming OK
- package meets guidelines
- license is GPL, matches spec, text included
- spec file written in English and is quite legible
- sources match upstream
- package builds OK on FC5(i386) and in mock for rawhide(i386)
- buildreqs OK, but could be trimmed
- locales handled properly
- no shared libraries in default paths
- not relocatable
- no directory ownership or permissions issues
- %clean section present and correct
- macro usage is consistent, apart from a couple of commented-out lines,
  which should probably be dropped from the spec
- code, not content
- docs OK
- no devel files to consider
- no subpackages to consider
- no libtool archives
- desktop file installed properly
- no scriptlets

Needswork:

- The full contents of the NEWS file is "Refer to ChangeLog"
  There is no point packaging this file.
- Duplicate files: there are a number of images present in both
  %{_datadir}/%{name}/doc/C/figures and %{_datadir}/%{name}/img;
  could these be replaced with links?

Suggestions:

I agree with Comment #19 that you should try to avoid lines longer than
80 characters if possible. This helps make the spec file more legible.

You could drop the buildreqs on gnome-vfs2-devel and libattr-devel as they
are pulled in by libgnomeui-devel and libacl-devel respectively, which
would help with the line length.

I'm also seeing the issue from Comment #20 where the application is not
appearing in my menus. Running update-desktop-database doesn't fix it (no
surprise there) and I expect I'll have to log out and back in before I see
it.

Running the application manually, I'm not able to open anything, possibly due
to lack of acl support in the filesystems I'm using?


Comment 24 Paul Howarth 2006-08-14 12:18:48 UTC
This review appears to be stalled, with no response from the submitter for over
a month. Please provide an update soon.

Comment 25 Paul Howarth 2006-08-21 15:20:42 UTC
Ticket closed due to lack of submitter response as per the stalled review policy
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Policy/StalledReviews).

If someone would like to submit a new version of this package for review, please
mark this ticket as a duplicate of the new one so that reviewers of the new
ticket can easily find the work that was done on this one.

Comment 26 Mark 2006-11-08 21:42:20 UTC
Why isn`t this package in the Fedora Extras repo? it seems to work fine for me..

Comment 27 Paul Howarth 2006-11-08 22:34:49 UTC
The submitter made no response to the questions brought up during review of the
package (Comment #23) and so the submission was eventually abandoned. This
enables any other interested party to make their own submission if they would
like to maintain the package in Extras.
