Description Remi Collet 2006-05-21 07:56:41 UTC
Spec URL: http://remi.collet.free.fr/rpms/extras/php-pear-XML-Parser.spec
SRPM URL: http://remi.collet.free.fr/rpms/extras/php-pear-XML-Parser-1.2.7-1.fc5.src.rpm
Description: http://remi.collet.free.fr/rpms/extras/php-pear-XML-Parser-build.log

This is an XML parser based on PHPs built-in xml extension.
It supports two basic modes of operation: "func" and "event".
In "func" mode, it will look for a function named after each element
(xmltag_ELEMENT for start tags and xmltag_ELEMENT_ for end tags),
and in "event" mode it uses a set of generic callbacks.

Since version 1.2.0 there's a new XML_Parser_Simple class that makes
parsing of most XML documents easier, by automatically providing a stack
for the elements. Furthermore its now possible to split the parser from
the handler object, so you do not have to extend XML_Parser anymore in
order to parse a document with it.
--------------------
With DB, HTTP (Bug #190156), Mail (Bug #190066), Net_Socket (Bug #190957), Net_SMTP (Bug #190958), extras will provides all the extensions which was provides by php until version 5.0.4 (in FC4).

Comment 1 Parag AN(पराग) 2006-06-01 09:28:00 UTC
Not a Review but some hints on improving SPEC:-
1) Remove Provides tag RPM will generate an appropriate Provides: entry itself.
2) rpmlint gives error on using License: PHP License
3) Add some Documnetation Files like README, INSTALL


Comment 2 Parag AN(पराग) 2006-06-01 09:29:22 UTC
Also when i built repm from SPEC i got
warning: pear/XML_Parser requires package "pear/PEAR"


Comment 3 Remi Collet 2006-06-03 12:08:24 UTC
1/ Provides follow php guidelines
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/PHP

2/ it's a rpmlint bug, see Bug #191078

3/ none provided upstream (only examples), i've also add the Licence.

4/ this warning is "normal". Useful to check the "Requires" in spec file.


Comment 4 Christopher Stone 2006-06-27 09:59:29 UTC
I will do a formal review on this package but you will not be able to check it
in until you are sponsered with bug #190007
