Spec URL: https://fmaurer.fedorapeople.org/stgit/stgit.spec SRPM URL: https://fmaurer.fedorapeople.org/stgit/stgit-2.4.0-3.fc40.src.rpm Description: Stacked Git, StGit for short, is an application for managing Git commits as a stack of patches. With a patch stack workflow, multiple patches can be developed concurrently and efficiently, with each patch focused on a single concern, resulting in both a clean Git commit history and improved productivity. Fedora Account System Username: fmaurer Additional information: stgit has been in the Fedora repos up to f38, but has since been orphaned and retired. It got rewritten in Rust in the meantime. I'd like to get it unretired and maintain it in the future. The current upstream version of stgit is 2.4.2 but this spec file only packages 2.4.0. This is due to the version of gix we have in Fedora (that is 0.55.2). stgit 2.4.0 depends on gix 0.54, starting from stgit 2.4.1 it depends on gix 0.56. Patching stgit 2.4.0 to use gix 0.55 is easier because that is only a dependency patch whereas patching stgit 2.4.1 (or .2) to use gix 0.55 also requires code changes. Once a new rust-gix is packaged, I'll of course update stgit.

root@boudin:~# dnf install stgit Last metadata expiration check: 2:53:15 ago on Wed 14 Feb 2024 07:12:34 AM EST. No match for argument: stgit Error: Unable to find a match: stgit root@boudin:~# cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 39 (Thirty Nine) root@boudin:~# I see that nobody is assigned to this bug. Will there be a stgit package for Fedora 39, and if so, when? If it will be a while, I can build it myself, but scraping it off the system to install the Fedora-packaged version when it shows up is always a challenge.
I just want to echo Chuck's comments above. I'd be happy to see stgit return to *any* Fedora release, even if it is just Rawhide at this point. The lack of stgit has been a large source of frustration for me and I'm at the point where I need to decide to start building stgit myself on my dev/test systems or move to another Linux distribution with a better development environment. Please bring stgit back, you've got two Linux kernel maintainers asking for it :)
fmaurer, are you aware of : https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Orphaning_Process/#claiming_ownership_of_an_orphaned_package ?
(In reply to Chuck Lever from comment #4) > fmaurer, are you aware of : > https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/ > Package_Orphaning_Process/#claiming_ownership_of_an_orphaned_package ? This does not apply here, the package is *retired* (i.e. removed from Fedora), not only "orphaned" (without a maintainer). I intended to review this package, I was just busy with other things lately. I'll do a first pass right away.
Ok, first-pass review below. 1. You should replace the BuildRequires on "rust-packaging >= 21" with "cargo-rpm-macros". The former is ancient and no longer available, and only works for backwards compatibility. 2. If some BuildRequires are only required for running tests, then it is good form to also make them conditional: ``` %if %{with check} BuildRequires: procps-ng BuildRequires: git-core BuildRequires: git-email %endif ``` 3. It is a bit hard to tell whether the build uses the correct flags because the Makefile invokes cargo with "--quiet". Would it be possible to drop that flag? 4. You're generating the license info / summary, but not using it in the spec file. The License tag is incorrect. You could do something like this: ``` SourceLicense: GPL-2.0-only # paste license info from %cargo_license_summary here License: <construct complete license tag> ``` 5. As it is currently set up, the package creates unowned directories: ``` %{_datadir}/emacs/site-lisp/stgit.el %{_datadir}/vim/vimfiles/ftdetect/stg.vim %{_datadir}/vim/vimfiles/syntax/stg*.vim ``` This results in the following directories without owners: ``` %{_datadir}/emacs/ %{_datadir}/emacs/site-lisp/ %{_datadir}/vim/ %{_datadir}/vim/vimfiles/ %{_datadir}/vim/vimfiles/ftdetect/ %{_datadir}/vim/vimfiles/syntax/ ``` You need to either depend on emacs-filesystem (which provides the first two directories) and vim-data / vim-filesystem (which provide the last four), or explicitly also own (co-own) these directories. 6. It looks like the Makefile target for running tests only runs the stgit tests, but not the actual cargo tests? Maybe adding `%cargo_test` to the %check script would be a good idea to also run the unit tests? 7. There's a few warnings in the build.log that look like they might indicate a bug in the stgit code. Can you clarify with upstream whether this is actually the intended behaviour? ``` warning: use of deprecated method `indexmap::IndexSet::<T, S>::remove`: `remove` disrupts the set order -- use `swap_remove` or `shift_remove` for explicit behavior. --> src/stack/state.rs:256:28 | 256 | parent_set.remove(&prev_state.patches[patchname].commit.id); | ^^^^^^ | = note: `#[warn(deprecated)]` on by default warning: use of deprecated method `indexmap::IndexSet::<T, S>::take`: `take` disrupts the set order -- use `swap_take` or `shift_take` for explicit behavior. --> src/stack/transaction/mod.rs:634:17 | 634 | old.take(pn) | ^^^^ warning: `stgit` (bin "stg") generated 2 warnings ```
Thanks for the review! I have the following notes: 1. Will do. That was the result of an old rust2rpm. 2. Will do. 3. The actual build does not run with `--quiet`? Locally and in the copr logs I can see the rustc invocations with all the compiler flags. The output with `--quiet` is from `cargo run` for generation of completions and testing. But that always ends with "Fresh stgit", i.e., there is nothing being compiled. I can of course patch the `--quiet` out of the Makefile, but I think that adds patches and derivation from upstream for no benefit. 4. Will do. 5. I'm not sure I got the whole (un-)owned directory thing correctly. I don't think stgit should co-own these directories. emacs-filesystem is definitely missing. vim-filesystem is already Required and I only write to directories that belong to it (%{_datadir}/vim/vimfiles/ftdetect/ and %{_datadir}/vim/vimfiles/syntax/). To I still need to add vim-data for %{_datadir}/vim/ and %{_datadir}/vim/vimfiles/ which I don't directly use? Should it be my task to include that and not rather the task of vim-filesystem? 6. Will do. I don't think the cargo tests add something substantial over the stgit tests, but let's run them anyways. 7. This has been deprecated in indexmap (2.2.0) between when I wrote the spec file and now. The warnings have been fixed in upstream stgit in [1], part of 2.4.3, which we can not package right now because it needs a newer rust-gix. It's a small patch in stgit and it actually changes the semantics from swap_take/swap_remove to shift_take/shift_remove; not sure if this really fixes some bug. Should I include that patch?

I think I have solved the recompilation issues once and for all by passing `CARGO="%{__cargo}"` to make all the time. I don't see any recompilation now. - I included the patch from upstream to get rid of the deprecation warnings, just to be safe.

Sorry for the delay here, I was distracted by $LIFE and urgent work stuff. The changes look good to me, and your explanation in the previous two comments makes sense. I'm running the full review now.
Package looks good to me.

FEDORA-2024-52b3f7c8e0 (stgit-2.4.0-1.fc41) has been submitted as an update to Fedora 41. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-52b3f7c8e0
FEDORA-2024-52b3f7c8e0 (stgit-2.4.0-1.fc41) has been pushed to the Fedora 41 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
Thank you Fabio for the reviews! stgit is now unretired and already available in rawhide. I have created updates for [f39] and [f40] as well. @Paul, Chuck, and others: If you install stgit from the f39 update, please give feedback there so stgit makes it to stable faster. The f40 will not go to stable as long as the beta freeze lasts. [f39]: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-7cdd296c3f [f40]: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-d38c8bed42
A big thank you to Felix and Fabio, I really appreciate the work to get stgit back into Fedora - thank you! Unfortunately the only Fedora systems I currently have installed are running Rawhide/F41 so I'm not sure I can be much help with F39 and F40, but I can say that the stgit-2.4.0-1.fc41.x86_64 package is working great so far :)
Installed on F39, no bugs to report! Thank you for un-retiring this package!
