Description Stuart D Gathman 2020-06-02 21:33:09 UTC
Spec URL: https://gathman.org/linux/SPECS/abcMIDI.spec
SRPM URL: https://gathman.org/linux/f31/src/abcMIDI-2020.05.06-1.fc31.src.rpm
Description: 
The abcMIDI package contains four programs: abc2midi to convert ABC
music notation to MIDI, midi2abc to convert MIDI files to (a first
approximation to) the corresponding ABC, abc2abc to reformat and/or
transpose ABC files, and yaps to typeset ABC files as PostScript.

NOTE: does not build on rawhide - compiler is more strict.  I should have a patch to fix the issues by the time someone reviews this.  The fatal issue is globals defined multiple times.  Trivial to fix (if the instances are actually all the same).  I'll fix a few warnings while I'm at it.

License is embedded in readme.txt.  Should I patch in a LICENSE file?  I will contact upstream also.

Comment 1 Stuart D Gathman 2020-06-02 21:36:25 UTC
Also, upstream has no SCM, and posts new latest every few months.  I have been tracking changes in a mirror repo: https://github.com/sdgathman/abcmidi

Should I continue to pull the zip file from upstream?  Or from my mirror (which includes LICENSE, etc)?  I've already gotten an opinion to continue with upstream format, but maybe there is a counter argument.

Spec URL: https://gathman.org/linux/SPECS/abcMIDI.spec
SRPM URL: https://gathman.org/linux/f33/src/abcMIDI-2020.05.06-2.fc33.src.rpm

Added patches to build on rawhide.

Comment 3 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2020-06-26 14:30:08 UTC
 - Group:, BuildRoot: are not used in Fedora

 - Add a comment above the patch explaining why it is needed.


 -Don't:

rm -rf %{buildroot}

 - %defattr(-,root,root,-) is the default, therefore not needed.

 - -Ask upstream for a License file-, strike that the license is provided in doc/gpl.txt

 - The Source should be the official archive. Any modification must happen within the SPEC: this could be patches, but could also be a script that you join as SourceX that is used to modify the official archive.
Another issue I have with your repo is that you joined the LICENSE file yourself, this is contrary to the Packaging guidelines which states that the License file must be provided by upstream and that the packager can't add it themselves.
Another issue is the maintainability of the package, if you link to your repo and you fail to update it after a while, we would maybe miss new releases.

 - Bump to 0.6.25

 - Use install -p to keep timestamps

New upstream release.  Includes my patches, so they are removed.

Comment 5 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2020-06-30 09:24:47 UTC
 - BuildRoot: is not used in Fedora


Package approved, please fix this remaining issue before import.
