Comment 1 Sandro 2022-08-27 10:20:50 UTC
I'm looking forward to this one, myself. This is my first package review. I'm trying to get acquainted with the process and I'm looking for a sponsor.

Package looks good. I discovered a couple of minor issues.

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

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

Issues
======

/usr/share/cockpit/identities/.gitignore
/usr/share/cockpit/identities/.vscode

A couple of leftovers from the VCS and/or the build tools. Please remove.

/usr/share/cockpit/identities/public/assets/images/45d-fan-light.svg

Above file has executable bits set and as such rpmlint complains about "script without shebang".  Please use correct permissions.

That's okay. Difference due to rpmautospec being used.

Comment 2 Sandro 2022-08-28 11:20:27 UTC
I checked out the plugin in Cockpit. It works well with regular accounts. However, when I click on a NIS account, I get a blank page. No error message or further explanation. Going back from there I have to manually refresh the page in order to make the plugin display user information. I know there are plans for retiring NIS (BZ#2021660), but it's currently still available in F35 and F36.

Comment 3 Timothée Floure 2022-08-31 13:50:10 UTC
I would add the following points to Sandro's review:

* The following line is present commented in the install section: please either remove it or give context.

  #echo "export let NAVIGATOR_VERSION = \"%{version}\";" > %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/cockpit/navigator/version.js

* The Requires section looks fishy to me:
  - python is nowhere to be found when I grep the codebase.
  - rsync and zip are only used in the Makefile (which you don't use!).
  - Upstream has a list of dependencies for EPEL8: see https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-identities/blob/main/manifest.json#L43 and https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-identities/blob/main/packaging/el8/main.spec
    - Various command-line utilities such as smbpasswd and chsh are called from the codebase, hence must be provided via the package's dependencies. See upstream's dependency list and `grep -R -i spawn identities/`.

* I don't see the point of mentioning 'Cockpit Identities` in the description section, but that's only cosmetic.

Comment 4 Timothée Floure 2022-12-21 14:33:35 UTC
Gentle reminder - this review is still open.

Comment 5 Stephen Gallagher 2022-12-21 15:12:16 UTC
Thanks for the ping. I haven't had an opportunity to work on this recently. If someone wants to take over, please let me know.

Comment 6 Timothée Floure 2023-06-10 07:27:50 UTC
