Description Peter Robinson 2021-09-22 11:07:42 UTC
SPEC: https://pbrobinson.fedorapeople.org/libi2cd.spec
SRPM: https://pbrobinson.fedorapeople.org/libi2cd-1.0-1.fc34.src.rpm

Description:
libi2cd provides a simple and straightforward API for accessing I2C devices from
userspace. It relies on the i2c-dev Linux kernel module and is intended to
complement existing tools and libraries, such as those provided by i2c-tools.
It provides both high- and low-level access to the underlying ioctl requests.

Is this the only issue it's not approved? It's a should item, not a must, and the request was filed 4 months ago, I'll update to the latest version when it's approved.

Comment 3 Petr Menšík 2022-01-14 10:56:16 UTC
Yes, there are 3 releases not included and they are about 3 months old. I think you will update spec anyway, is it too much to ask that before giving review+?

Also there are some tests. It seems they need some device, but I think %bcond_with check might enable them on manual 'fedpkg local --with check' rebuilds. Could that be included but disabled on normal builds too?

It's optional, I don't see how bumping to the latest release for the review materially makes any difference to the review and in the guidelines that is optional. It's more work for me and I'll just do it before I push it to koji.

Which will fail if the local machine is a VM or doesn't have i2c. I don't see it actually provides any value hence why it wasn't added.

Neither of those are a valid reason to block a review.

Comment 5 Petr Menšík 2022-01-20 20:27:29 UTC
I don't like your attitude. You refuse even simple improvements to spec file, because it is not mandatory. Well, it is not mandatory for me as a reviewer to give you review+. I have seriously considered just unassigning myself and leaving such review to someone else.

You were helpful to me when I were playing with Raspberry Pi on fedora-arm channel. I would finish the review as thanks for that. But I don't think I requested something extra. I would not finish it for someone else. I think rebase and sftp fedorapeople.org; mput *.spec is not too much to ask.

I think having fedpkg local --with check prepared for rebases is useful. I would want to have it in my package, but you would maintain this package. It would simplify basic test on a real device.

Passing the review.

Me having a different opinion to yours doesn't mean I have a bad attitude. There's a difference. With the update you put there I would have preferred you did walk away but here we are.

A minor bugfix release won't substantially change the package and hence it won't impact the review. The review has sat there for 4 months to update it for each minor bump takes time and that IMO is a waste. Now if there was a major bump with API change I would have completely updated it, probably long before you came along.

In the case of the check, from my experience (I have been packaging rpms since 1996) if it's not run all the time it just rots as in reality no one runs it locally. In the case of running it on say a VM which doesn't have i2c (and I do a lot of building on VMs) it would fail.
