SRPM URL: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/wef/gdcalc/fedora-34-x86_64/02869597-gdcalc/gdcalc-3.0-1.src.rpm

Description:

gdcalc is a financial, statistics, scientific and programmers
calculator for gtk+-based under Unix and Linux.

It has both Algebraic notation (ie. conventional, TI or Casio-like)
and Reverse Polish Notation (HP-style).

To customise for fonts & colours:

mkdir ~/.config/%{name}
cp /etc/%{name}/%{name}.css ~/.config/%{name}/

gdcalc is based on my venerable dcalc RPN calculator which I wrote a
million years ago to learn C and curses - about 1983, I suppose.

This package includes the original dcalc for curses (Unix console)

If you want to know more about RPN calculators (and why they are more
intuitive than algebraic calculators with their = sign) take a look at
http://www.hpcalc.org

> %define ver 3.0
> %define rel 1
These aren't used anywhere apart from the Version and Release tags.
You can just put those values straight into the tags.

> Release: %{rel}
Missing disttag, i.e. "value" -> "value%{?dist}".

> Group: Applications/Productivity
Not used in Fedora.
> %clean
Not used in Fedora. 
> %prep
> rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
Guidelines say that the buildroot should not be removed in %install.
This is done in %prep, so I guess *technically* it's okay, but still, there's no need to do this.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_tags_and_sections

> License: GPL
The program seems to be GPL 2.0 only, which means a License tag of "GPLv2".
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Good_Licenses

> %files
> %defattr(-,root,root)
Not needed.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_file_permissions

> %doc README COPYING doc/manual_en.html
COPYING should be marked as %license.

Comment 2 Bob Hepple 2021-10-01 23:10:12 UTC
Thanks for the review, Artur!!

I've rebuilt according to your comments - I've used %autosetup in %prep instead of the 'rm -rf ...'

Comment 5 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2022-03-07 11:43:39 UTC
Hey Bob, are you still interested in getting this reviewed?

Comment 6 Bob Hepple 2022-03-07 21:59:12 UTC
Sure, why not? I use it myself every day - it might be useful to others too.

Comment 7 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2022-03-08 11:24:09 UTC
> %define ver 3.2
> %define rel 1%{?dist}
Any reason for introducing these macros instead of just putting the values inside Version: and Release: tags?

> %define prefix /usr
This doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

> %description

Please remove the empty line at the start.

> gdcalc is based on my venerable dcalc RPN calculator which I wrote a
> million years ago to learn C and curses - about 1983, I suppose.
This is nice for a README, but seems a bit off when used as part of the package description.

> %files
> %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/*
This necessitates "Requires: hicolor-icon-theme".

Comment 9 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2022-03-09 15:01:19 UTC
The tarball in the SRPM differs from the one downloaded from GitLab. Can you download the tarball again, rebuild and reupload the SRPM?

Comment 10 Bob Hepple 2022-03-09 19:45:37 UTC
OK - I cleaned out my ~/rpmbuild and started again with spectool -g ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/gdcalc.spec:

SPEC URL: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/wef/gdcalc/fedora-35-x86_64/03655090-gdcalc/gdcalc.spec

I downloaded that srpm and checked contents. Should be good now.

Comment 11 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2022-03-15 19:39:09 UTC
Package approved. There are some minor issues - please take a look at them.

Hi Artur,

Thanks for the review! I will address those last couple of issues before final release.

Comment 13 Bob Hepple 2022-03-18 02:03:29 UTC
man pages now included. New version of the source eliminates the obsolete macros. I will go ahead and request the repo.
