The nq utility provides a very lightweight queuing system without requiring 
setup, maintenance, supervision or any long-running processes.

Comment 1 Gustavo Costa 2021-10-12 07:09:45 UTC
Koji scratch build: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=77106159

Comment 2 Artur Frenszek-Iwicki 2021-10-13 14:31:24 UTC
Looking at the build log:
> /usr/bin/make -O -j16 V=1 VERBOSE=1
> cc -g -Wall -O2    nq.c   -o nq
> cc -g -Wall -O2    fq.c   -o fq
Fedora's CFLAGS are not respected here. You can try patching the Makefile so it doesn't override them, or maybe just invoke gcc manually.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_compiler_flags

The tq script requires that either tmux or screen are installed.
This is not reflected in the package's Requires. (I guess it could be only a Recommends?)

Comment 3 Gustavo Costa 2021-10-13 23:59:20 UTC
Hi Artur. Thank you for the review. I updated the spec file:

I added CFLAGS='%{build_cflags}' to override the makefile's one
> %make_build CFLAGS='%{build_cflags}'

and a boolean dependency to recommend tmux or screen
> Recommends:     (tmux or screen)

Package Review
==============

Legend:
[x] = Pass, [!] = Fail, [-] = Not applicable, [?] = Not evaluated

===== Issues =====

- While nq is clearly dedicated to the public domain in COPYING, there is also
  a link to http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/. I think the
  License field should therefore be “CC0” instead of “Public Domain”.

  This is possibly open to debate, so speak up if you disagree.

- You can and should run the tests. Add:

    BuildRequires:  /usr/bin/prove

  (which comes from perl-Test-Harness), and also:

    %check
    %make_build check

- The timestamps are not preserved during installation. I have proposed an
  upstream PR (https://github.com/leahneukirchen/nq/pull/40) which would
  resolve this (given that %make_install sets INSTALL='/usr/bin/install -p').
  Add:

    # Add an INSTALL variable to the Makefile
    # https://github.com/leahneukirchen/nq/pull/40
    Patch0:         %{url}/pull/40.patch

  and adjust

    %autosetup

  to

    %autosetup -p1

Comment 6 Gustavo Costa 2021-10-21 18:02:31 UTC
Hi Ben. I am new to the packager group (about three weeks ago), but I should have paid more attention to this review request. Anyway, thanks for the review. I updated the spec file as follows:

I agree with you about the license, but I would like to point out that the upstream also maintains a package for Void Linux, and its license field uses Public Domain [1], although CC0-1.0 is also valid [2]. However, I changed from Public Domain to CC0 as you suggested

I added the BuildRequires perl(Test::Harness) and the "%make_build check" in the %check section

I also added your patch

Spec URL: https://xfgusta.fedorapeople.org/packages/nq/nq.spec
SRPM URL: https://xfgusta.fedorapeople.org/packages/nq/nq-0.4-1.fc34.src.rpm

Scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=77620356

> I agree with you about the license, but I would like to point out that the upstream also maintains a package for Void Linux, and its license field uses Public Domain [1], although CC0-1.0 is also valid [2]. However, I changed from Public Domain to CC0 as you suggested

Speaking as not-a-lawyer: I think that since the CC0 license is a public domain dedication with added disclaimers and a fallback maximally-permissive license, the distinction is probably not very meaningful except in jurisdictions that don’t fully recognize public-domain dedications.

You could always contact the upstream developer and ask what she thinks is correct.

I confirm that all of the issue I found are remedied, and the package is approved. Full re-review below:
