Description Anthony Green 2006-04-19 02:11:44 UTC
Spec URL: http://people.redhat.com/green/FE/FC5/liblrdf.spec
SRPM URL: http://people.redhat.com/green/FE/FC5/liblrdf-0.4.0-2.src.rpm
Description: 
This is a library to make it easy to manipulate RDF files describing
LADSPA plugins.

Ardour is dependent on this package.  The spec file is based on a old planet ccrma spec file.

I've just updates the bits based on recent experience and expected feedback...

Comment 2 Michael Schwendt 2006-04-23 11:41:52 UTC
* Until raptor-devel will be good, this one BuildRequires: libxslt-devel

* Run rpmlint on the binary rpms:

Lots of output, in particular because the included "examples" %doc
directory contains arch-dependent files (it MUST NOT), including
unfinished libtool based executables in the hidden .libs directory,
object files, and dependency meta data files in the hidden .deps
directory.

* rpmqfcheck.pl /home/qa/tmp/rpm/RPMS/liblrdf-0.4.0-3.i386.rpm
Orphaned dir: /usr/share/ladspa
Orphaned dir: /usr/share/ladspa/rdf

* Source0 would be directly downloadable if in the form:
http://download.sourceforge.net/...
or
http://dl.sf.net/...

* Static libraries should not be included.

* Noticable compiler warnings:

showdefaults.c:42: warning: format '%d' expects type 'int', but argument 3 has
type 'long unsigned int'
setting_test.c:43: warning: format '%d' expects type 'int', but argument 3 has

I've submitted a fixed raptor spec file.

I've removed examples from the doc list, and added a README.fedora file to
point people at the SRPM for example source code.

I'm not sure who should own these directories.  Perhaps this package should own
/usr/share/ladspa/rdf, and ladspa could own /usr/share/ladspa - although there's
no real need to install the ladspa package when using ladspa plugins.  Suggestions?

Fixed.  Configured with --disable-static.

This is from the example directory, which is ignored now.

I will push this upstream rather than try to handle it here.  It's a
signed-vs-unsigned char thing.

I've cleaned up the spec file based raptor changes.  Updated bits here...

Common practice among packagers seems to be to _either_ require
a package which owns the directories _or_ to own the directories
yourself.

Here, however, the file is installed from within the "examples"
directory for rdf_uri load tests and is not required at run-time.
At build-time it is not adjusted to be in sync with the plugins
found in the "ladspa" package. In liblrdf there's also no run-time
dependency on the LADSPA_RDF_PATH /usr/share/ladspa/rdf


Comment 6 Michael Schwendt 2006-05-13 21:27:15 UTC
Confirming bottom of comment 5. /usr/share/ladspa/rdf/ladspa.rdfs
is a useless example for a classification of ladspa plugins. Inside
Hydrogen it is recognised without any of the classified ladspa
plugins being available. The file should not be included in the
package. (Do we have any ladspa package in the queue which comes
with an rdf file?)

APPROVED if you fix that remaining issue.

swh-plugins does, and it's already in Extras.
I've also submitted CAPS, which does as well.

Done.  Thanks!


Comment 8 Lubomir Kundrak 2008-04-11 21:07:54 UTC
I'd be very thiankful if you could request and maintain a EPEL-5 branch for this
package. In case you don't want or can't do that, let me know and I'll do that.

Thanks!
