Description:
Alchemy Quest is a new reflection game which looks like classic falling block
games but where you can take your time. Be a crazy alchemist and try to make
new objects from those you get from the sky.

Comment 1 Dennis Payne 2021-05-04 01:24:51 UTC
I'm planning on making a new release of Alchemy Quest before the game is added to Fedora. It needs icons for Alchemy Quest and a desktop file. I'll move the appdata.xml files into the project as well. Just looking for some additional packaging feedback before this is done.

Comment 2 Xavier Bachelot 2021-05-04 09:03:48 UTC
Hi Dennis,

Quick review, based in part on what I've seen when trying to adapt the openalchemist spec, like you did.
Excuse the rough list below, rather short on time to make it into a nicer shape now.

Issues:
- File conflicts with openalchemist, it would be cleaner to use %{datadir}/alchemyquest rather than %{datadir/openalchemist}, which needs to be changed upstream.
- A lot of s/openalchemist/alchemyquest/ needs to be done in the spec.
- I think providing 2 .desktop files, icons, etc.., one for alchemyquest and one for openalchemist, would help transitioning from openalchemist to alchemyquest.
- If you add the /usr/bin/openalchemist symlink, missing Obsoletes/Provides for openalchemist.

Minor nits:
- Indent on the BR: make (which comes from the openalchemist spec, I know ;-))
- Spurious wildcard in %files for appdata and desktop file (from openalchemist too)
- Sort BR:

Regards,
Xavier

Comment 3 Dennis Payne 2021-05-13 21:04:32 UTC
Minor question: Can you have two appdata files in a single rpm? Would it should the both in Gnome Software? If you installed one, it would install both?

Comment 4 Xavier Bachelot 2021-05-17 10:18:13 UTC
I'm not very familiar with appdata, but I think it should work with either one file for alchemyquest and another for openlchemist or only one for alchemyquest. In the later case, it might be possible to have a subsection for openalchemist.
The upstream doc for appdata is here, shall you want to dig deeper: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/

Comment 6 Xavier Bachelot 2021-06-28 11:50:35 UTC
- Obsoletes/Provides need to be versioned
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#renaming-or-replacing-existing-packages

- Add a comment over the openalchemist symlink creation for clarity

- Split long desktop-file-install lines

- The appdata files need to be validated
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/AppData/#_app_data_validate_usage

- Spurious wildcard in the appdata line for alchemyquest in %files

- Nitpick, add a second blank line between the %install and %files sections

Comment 8 Xavier Bachelot 2021-07-16 15:03:12 UTC
Sorry for the late answer...

- The Obsoletes/Provides are still not correct.
See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#renaming-or-replacing-existing-packages
Should be:
Obsoletes : openalchemist < 0.4-34
Provides:   openalchemist = 0.4-34

- Add a comment on top of the openalchemist/alchemyquest symlink
Something like:
# Running alchemyquest through an openalchemist symlink will launch the game
# in openalchemist mode w/o needing a command line option.

- Source0: line could be shortened to:
Source0:        %{url}/%{name}-%{version}.tgz

- Add a comment on top of License: to explain which part belongs to which license.

- The build succeeded on F34, but failed on Rawhide, you should probably take a look.

- fedora-review is also complaining about the size of the data and suggests a NoArch sub-package for that.
I feel this is overkill for less than 10 MB, do as you see fit.

Comment 9 Dennis Payne 2021-07-17 14:31:05 UTC
Spec URL: https://gitlab.com/dulsi/alchemyquest/-/raw/master/alchemyquest.spec
SRPM URL: http://identicalsoftware.com/alchemyquest/alchemyquest-0.5.2-3.fc34.src.rpm

I've left it as a single file. I tried building on rawhide and it worked fine for me. (Well I had to boot with a F34 kernel because rawhide wasn't booting.)

Comment 10 Xavier Bachelot 2021-09-10 13:31:14 UTC
Again, sorry for the very late answer.

The only remaining nitpick from rpmlint is about a missing man page. Maybe you can add one upstream ?
There's probably not much to document but the --openalchemist command line option.

$ rpmlint alchemyquest
alchemyquest.x86_64: W: no-manual-page-for-binary alchemyquest
alchemyquest.x86_64: W: no-manual-page-for-binary openalchemist
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 2 warnings.

Package is APPROVED.

There was an unrelated issue building with Rawhide, so I've used F35 instead.
Let me know once this is build so I can retire openalchemist in F35 and Rawhide.

(fedscm-admin):  The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/alchemyquest

Comment 12 Xavier Bachelot 2021-09-13 08:02:41 UTC
Could you please build for F35 too so I can retire openalchemist which is FTBS on F35 ?
Also you may add me as co-maintainer if you wish.
