Comment 2 Ben Beasley 2025-06-01 12:59:12 UTC
I think you need to byte-compile the Python files. Otherwise, this looks fine. Details below:

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

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

The manual dependency on libpeas-loader-python%{_isa} is reasonable since it
apparently cannot be generated; I’m assuming that there is an indirect
dlopen()/ctypes involved at some point in the chain. The comment justifying it
(“required by yt-dlp enhancer”) could be more detailed, but is adequate.

Similarly, the manual dependency on python3dist(yt-dlp) is reasonable given
that this is not a Python library package and there is no .dist-info directory
for the Python code it ships (so there can be no Python dependency metadata).

===== Issues =====

- Given that the Python sources in the plugins are used by importing them
  rather than by executing them as scripts, they must be bytecode-compiled.

  https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_source_files_and_bytecode_cache

  This doesn’t happen automatically because they aren’t in one of the paths
  covered by the brp-python-bytecompile BRP script, but you can do it manually.

  https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_manual_byte_compilation
  https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#py_byte_compile

  Add:

    BuildRequires:  python3-devel

  Then, at the end of %install:

    %py_byte_compile %{python3} %{buildroot}%{_clapperenhdir}/yt-dlp

  Finally, put %pycached before each .py file in the %files list, like:
 
    %pycached %{_clapperenhdir}/yt-dlp/clapper_yt_dlp.py
    %pycached %{_clapperenhdir}/yt-dlp/clapper_yt_dlp_dash.py
    %pycached %{_clapperenhdir}/yt-dlp/clapper_yt_dlp_direct.py
    %pycached %{_clapperenhdir}/yt-dlp/clapper_yt_dlp_hls.py
    %pycached %{_clapperenhdir}/yt-dlp/clapper_yt_dlp_overrides.py

  (This package will still work without byte-compiling the Python files, but
  byte-compiling will make the plugin load a bit faster and is, as far as I
  can tell, mandatory under the packaging guidelines.)

- Normally, I would say that you should install README.md as documentation:

    %doc README.md

  Given how trivial and nearly useless this README.md file is, I think you can
  justify continuing to omit it, if you want to.

- The LGPL-2.1-or-later license notices and text contain a street address for
  the Free Software Foundation that is obsolete since they (recently) became a
  remote-only organization.

    clapper-enhancers.x86_64: E: incorrect-fsf-address /usr/share/licenses/clapper-enhancers/LICENSE

  I opened https://github.com/Rafostar/clapper-enhancers/pull/15 to fix this
  upstream. No change is required in the package submission: I don’t recommend
  patching this downstream, especially before upstream reviews my PR.

===== MUST items =====

C/C++:
[x]: Package does not contain kernel modules.
[x]: Development (unversioned) .so files in -devel subpackage, if present.
     Note: Unversioned so-files in private %_libdir subdirectory (see
     attachment). Verify they are not in ld path.

     These are not in the system linker path, and they *appear* to be
     correctly-installed plugins for clapper. This is a correct use of
     unversioned .so files.

       clapper-enhancers: /usr/lib64/clapper-0.0/enhancers/lbry/libclapper-lbry.so
       clapper-enhancers: /usr/lib64/clapper-0.0/enhancers/peertube/libclapper-peertube.so

Comment 3 Ben Beasley 2025-06-01 13:28:31 UTC
Oh, one more thing! Please replace

  %global _clapperenhdir /usr/lib64/clapper-0.0/enhancers

with

  %global _clapperenhdir %{_libdir}/clapper-0.0/enhancers

This ensures compliance with
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_macros,
and it should fix the FTBFS on i686 observed in:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=133420199

You can also add ExcludeArch: %{ix86} due to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/EncourageI686LeafRemoval
if you don’t expect anything to depend on this, but you should
still fix the path definition.

It segfaults (inside libpeas.so) otherwise. Not sure if it's a bug.

Will do, thanks for the detailed steps.

Sure! I can't believe I missed this.
