Fedora Merge Review: jakarta-commons-codec

http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/jakarta-commons-codec/
Initial Owner: mwringe

Comment 2 Permaine Cheung 2007-04-05 03:52:35 UTC
MUST:
* package is named appropriately
 - match upstream tarball or project name
 - try to match previous incarnations in other distributions/packagers for
consistency
 - specfile should be %{name}.spec
 - non-numeric characters should only be used in Release (ie. cvs or
   something)
 - for non-numerics (pre-release, CVS snapshots, etc.), see
   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#PackageRelease
 - if case sensitivity is requested by upstream or you feel it should be
   not just lowercase, do so; otherwise, use all lower case for the name
* is it legal for Fedora to distribute this?
 - OSI-approved
 - not a kernel module
 - not shareware
 - is it covered by patents?
 - it *probably* shouldn't be an emulator
 - no binary firmware
* license field matches the actual license.
* license is open source-compatible.
 - use acronyms for licences where common
* specfile name matches %{name}
X verify source and patches (md5sum matches upstream, know what the patches do)
- md5sum do not match with upstream tar ball
* skim the summary and description for typos, etc.
* correct buildroot
 - should be:
   %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
* if %{?dist} is used, it should be in that form (note the ? and %
locations)
* license text included in package and marked with %doc
* keep old changelog entries; use judgement when removing (too old?
useless?)
* packages meets FHS (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/)
* rpmlint on <this package>.srpm gives no output
 - W: jakarta-commons-codec non-standard-group Development/Libraries/Java - this
is OK
* changelog should be in one of these formats:
 
  * Fri Jun 23 2006 Jesse Keating <jkeating> - 0.6-4
  - And fix the link syntax.
 
  * Fri Jun 23 2006 Jesse Keating <jkeating> 0.6-4
  - And fix the link syntax.
 
  * Fri Jun 23 2006 Jesse Keating <jkeating>
  - 0.6-4
  - And fix the link syntax.
 
* Packager tag should not be used
* Vendor tag should not be used
* Distribution tag should not be used
* use License and not Copyright
* Summary tag should not end in a period
* if possible, replace PreReq with Requires(pre) and/or Requires(post)
X specfile is legible
 - Are these still needed: Requires(post): /bin/rm /bin/ln, Requires(postun):
/bin/rm?
* package successfully compiles and builds on at least x86
* BuildRequires are proper
 - builds in mock will flush out problems here
 - the following packages don't need to be listed in BuildRequires:
   bash
   bzip2
   coreutils
   cpio
   diffutils
   fedora-release (and/or redhat-release)
   gcc
   gcc-c++
   gzip
   make
   patch
   perl
   redhat-rpm-config
   rpm-build
   sed
   tar
   unzip
   which
X summary should be a short and concise description of the package
Summary is just the name of the package
* description expands upon summary (don't include installation
instructions)
* make sure lines are <= 80 characters
* specfile written in American English
* make a -doc sub-package if necessary
 - see
  
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#head-9bbfa57478f0460c6160947a6bf795249488182b
* packages including libraries should exclude static libraries if possible
* don't use rpath
* config files should usually be marked with %config(noreplace)
* GUI apps should contain .desktop files
* should the package contain a -devel sub-package?
* use macros appropriately and consistently
 - ie. %{buildroot} and %{optflags} vs. $RPM_BUILD_ROOT and $RPM_OPT_FLAGS
* don't use %makeinstall
* install section must begin with rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT or %{buildroot}
* locale data handling correct (find_lang)
 - if translations included, add BR: gettext and use %find_lang %{name} at the
   end of %install
* consider using cp -p to preserve timestamps
* split Requires(pre,post) into two separate lines
* package should probably not be relocatable
* package contains code
 - see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#CodeVsContent
 - in general, there should be no offensive content
* package should own all directories and files
* there should be no %files duplicates
* file permissions should be okay; %defattrs should be present
* %clean should be present
* %doc files should not affect runtime
* if it is a web apps, it should be in /usr/share/%{name} and *not* /var/www
* verify the final provides and requires of the binary RPMs
will do this after the spec file is fixed
* run rpmlint on the binary RPMs
rpmlint
/var/lib/mock/fedora-development-x86_64-core-pcheung/result/jakarta-commons-codec-*rpm
W: jakarta-commons-codec non-standard-group Development/Libraries/Java
W: jakarta-commons-codec non-standard-group Development/Libraries/Java
W: jakarta-commons-codec-javadoc non-standard-group Development/Documentation
 
SHOULD:
* package should include license text in the package and mark it with %doc
* package should build on i386
* package should build in mock

With the svn export, the source from the svn checkout and the tar ball is different:
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: build.properties.sample
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: build.xml
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: checkstyle.xml
Only in src/: conf
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: .cvsignore
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: default.properties
Only in src/: java
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: LICENSE-header.txt
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: LICENSE.txt
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: maven.xml
Only in src/: media
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: NOTICE.txt
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: project.properties
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: project.xml
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: PROPOSAL.html
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: RELEASE-NOTES-1.0-dev.txt
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: RELEASE-NOTES-1.1.txt
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: RELEASE-NOTES-1.2.txt
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: RELEASE-NOTES.txt
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: RELEASE-PLAN
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: src
Only in src/: test
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: TODO
Only in ../CODEC_1_3/: xdocs

Do you need a tag when doing the svn export? (seems like it's currently checking
out from the head?)

Can you please explain to me what you are doing? I can see those files in the
tar contained in the srpm.

Sorry... I must have diff'd against the wrong dir, the src tar ball looks fine.
