spec: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/fed500/ford/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/06517293-ford/ford.spec

description:
This is an automatic documentation generator for modern Fortran programs.
FORD stands for FORtran Documenter. As you may know, "to ford" refers to
crossing a river (or other body of water). It does not, in this context,
refer to any company or individual associated with cars.

Ford was written due to Doxygen's poor handling of Fortran and the lack of
comparable alternatives. ROBODoc can't actually extract any information from
the source code and just about any other automatic documentation software I
found was either proprietary, didn't work very well for Fortran, or was
limited in terms of how it produced its output. f90doc is quite good and I
managed to modify it so that it could handle most of Fortran 2003, but it
produces rather ugly documentation, can't provide as many links between
different parts of the documentation as I'd like, and is written in Perl
(which I'm not that familiar with and which lacks the sort of libraries
found in Python for producing HTML content).

The goal of FORD is to be able to reliably produce documentation for modern
Fortran software which is informative and nice to look at. The documentation
should be easy to write and non-obtrusive within the code. While it will never
be as feature-rich as Doxygen, hopefully FORD will be able to provide a good
alternative for documenting Fortran projects.

Comment 2 mmassari 2023-10-13 07:44:28 UTC
Hi,

this is my first review and I hope I will not suggest you something wrong (I also asked for an help to Nikola Forro who I thank).

a) Here below my suggestions for the rpmlint complains

```
ford.noarch: E: zero-length /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ford/js/MathJax-config/.gitignore
ford.noarch: E: version-control-internal-file /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ford/js/MathJax-config/.gitignore
```

in prep section, ford/js/MathJax-config directory has to be removed
---
```
ford.noarch: E: non-executable-script /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ford/__init__.py 644 /usr/bin/env python
ford.noarch: E: non-executable-script /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ford/fixed2free2.py 644 /usr/bin/python
ford.noarch: E: non-executable-script /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ford/reader.py 644 /usr/bin/env python
```

I think that __init__py and reader.py probably do not need a shebang:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_shebang_lines
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_shebangs

fixed2free2.py is a script but it is not installed in /usr/bin, you should probably decide if remove the shebang or install it in /usr/bin.
---
```
ford.noarch: W: no-documentation
```

I would set `%doc README.md` after %files.
---
```
ford.noarch: W: hidden-file-or-dir /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ford/tipuesearch/.DS_Store
ford.noarch: W: hidden-file-or-dir /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ford/tipuesearch/img/.DS_Store
```

in prep section, ford/tipuesearch/img/.DS_Store directory has to be removed
---
```
ford.spec: W: invalid-url Source0: ford.tar.gz
```

I would use:

URL:            https://pypi.org/project/FORD/
Source0:        %{pypi_source FORD}
[...]
%autosetup -n FORD-%{version}

in this way you can also remove:

%global         SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION %{version}
---
```
ford.spec:53: W: macro-in-comment %{version}
ford.spec:63: W: macro-in-comment %{version}
ford.spec:64: W: macro-in-comment %{version}
ford.spec:65: W: macro-in-comment %{version}
```
I would remove the comments.
---

b) The package is failing building under f37, I don't know if you want to release it for Fedora 37

c) You do not need to specify `BuildRequires:  python3dist(pytest)` if you use `%pyproject_buildrequires -x tests`

Comment 3 Benson Muite 2023-10-13 18:05:10 UTC
Thanks. Updated:

spec: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/fed500/ford/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/06524064-ford/ford.spec
srpm: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/fed500/ford/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/06524064-ford/ford-6.2.5-1.fc40.src.rpm

Examining python files with shebang errors. There are bundled fonts, css and javascript files.
This seems common to html documentation generation systems.  Want to see if can
modify to use what is packaged in Fedora and avoid bundling. Can ping you once figured out
what to do for these.

Comment 6 mmassari 2023-11-03 15:00:00 UTC
Hi,
are you waiting for my review?
If I got it correctly, you will ping me when you have found a solution for the shebangs, right? I just wanted to double check that I got it correctly.

Maja

Comment 7 Benson Muite 2023-11-04 15:28:36 UTC
It will take a bit longer.

Updated:
spec: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/fed500/ford/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/06598080-ford/ford.spec
srpm: https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/fed500/ford/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/06598080-ford/ford-7.0.2-1.fc40.src.rpm

For fixed2free2.py checking whether this can be packaged separately:
https://github.com/Fortran-FOSS-Programmers/ford/issues/585

Raised several issues upstream about bundled javascript files:
https://github.com/Fortran-FOSS-Programmers/ford/issues/586
https://github.com/Fortran-FOSS-Programmers/ford/issues/587

Would like to unbundle these.  There are also bundled fonts, 
Fontawesome https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/fontawesome-fonts/fontawesome-fonts
glyphicons-halflings https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/glyphicons-halflings-fonts/glyphicons-halflings-fonts

glyphicons-halflings needs update to get the woff and eot fonts for web use, similar to fontawesome.

Please make sure the package builds successfully at least for Fedora Rawhide.

- If the build failed for unrelated reasons (e.g. temporary network
  unavailability), please ignore it.
- If the build failed because of missing BuildRequires, please make sure they
  are listed in the "Depends On" field
