Hi! This is my first Fedora package.
I am looking for a sponsor.
I am the upstream maintainer of this package, and also maintain this package in the Debian, NixOS, and AUR package repos.

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

Legend:

===== Issues =====

- The purpose of the %cargo_license macro is to produce a complete license
  breakdown that can be included with the binary package. Rather than just
  allowing it to print to the terminal,

    %cargo_license

  use it to write a file

    %cargo_license > LICENSE.dependencies

  and add to the %files section:

    %license LICENSE.dependencies

- When installing the binary in the %install section, please pass the -p option
  to the install command in order to preserve timestamps.

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

- While a man page is not required, it is always desired for a CLI/TUI tool.

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

    meow.aarch64: W: no-manual-page-for-binary meow

  If you like, you could try working with upstream to supply a man page. The
  https://github.com/oxipng/oxipng project is a pretty good example of how a
  man page can be automatically generated using clap_mangen,
  https://crates.io/crates/clap_mangen, via an xtask.

  You could also generate a man page downstream using help2man, which produces
  a pretty good result for this particular tool. You can add something like the
  following to rust2rpm.toml: 

    [requires]
    build = ["help2man"]
    
    [scripts.build]
    post = [
        "help2man --no-info --output=meow.1 --name='%{summary}' target/rpm/meow-cli"
    ]
    
    [scripts.install]
    post = ["install -t %{buildroot}%{_mandir}/man1 -D -p -m 0644 meow.1"]

  and then add to the [package] section:

    extra-files = ["%{_mandir}/man1/meow.1*"]

   Neither approach is required for approval, but either would be helpful to
   users.

- Since this will be a leaf package, it’s not a bad idea to disable the i686
  architecture. Building it doesn’t really do any harm, but it’s a waste of
  resources since there is no full i686 version of Fedora, and nobody will ever
  use the resulting packages.

Hey, thanks for the detailed review, this was very helpful!
I've implemented all of the suggestions that you put down, including the manpage.
Does the build look good now or is there anything else I should fix?

This package is very close to being ready! It looks like I forgot to explain
how to handle the License expression in the initial review.


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

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

===== Issues =====

- The problem you were originally having with

    %cargo_license > LICENSE.dependencies

  was that ">" and "LICENSE.dependencies" were being interpreted as arguments
  for the %cargo_license macro by the RPM spec file processor. These arguments
  were ignored (because %cargo_license does not take arguments, and unexpected
  arguments to an RPM macro do not produce an error), so your detailed license
  breakdown was written to stdout and not redirected to LICENSE.dependencies.

  You fixed this with

    {%cargo_license} > LICENSE.dependencies

  which worked, but in an unexpected way. The second } keeps the macro
  processor from treating the rest of the line as RPM macro arguments, then
  %cargo_license is expanded inside the curly braces, which remain in the
  expansion and function as a non-subshell command grouping for the shell,
  https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Command-Grouping.html.
  This ends up acheiving the intended effect, but it’s not quite obvious to the
  reader, and it’s a bit brittle: without whitespace around the %cargo_license
  macro, it could end up breaking if the expansion of %cargo_license started to
  have something that interacted with the curly braces – like if the
  implementation itself were wrapped in curly braces instead of ().

  What I think you wanted (and what I would recommend in any case) is to write

    %{cargo_license} > LICENSE.dependencies

  where the curly braces are interpreted by the RPM spec file processor and
  don’t make it through to the shell. This syntax would allow you to put any
  spec-file macro aarguments inside the braces, like this (which has the same
  result since %cargo_license ignores any arguments):

    %{cargo_license some useless arguments} > LICENSE.dependencies

- It looks like I missed commenting on %{cargo_license_summary} and the License
  tag in the initial review. The purpose of %{cargo_license_summary} is to
  account for the licenses of the Rust dependencies that are statically linked
  into the meow binary, and which therefore contribute to the license of the
  binary RPM. You can do that something like this:

    # The entire source is MIT. The following output from %%{cargo_license_summary}
    # reflects the licenses of statically-linked Rust library dependencies. See
    # LICENSES.dependencies for a full breakdown.
    #
    # Apache-2.0 OR MIT
    # BSD-2-Clause OR Apache-2.0 OR MIT
    # MIT
    # MIT OR Apache-2.0
    License:        %{shrink:
        MIT AND
	(Apache-2.0 AND MIT) AND
	(BSD-2-Clause OR Apache-2.0 OR MIT)
    }

  When you update the package, you can check the output of
  %{cargo_license_summary} in the build logs, paste the updated output into the
  comment, and revise the License expression as needed.

  Note that the order of the License expression is not important, and there are
  several conventions. Here I have followed Fabio Valentini’s usual convention
  of putting the “base” license first, then simple license sub-expressions (of
  which there are none) in alphabetical order, then compound sub-expressions in
  alphabetical order. I haven’t reordered terms within sub-expressions,
  although I personally sometimes do this on packages with huge dependency
  trees and complicated License tags. Notice also that (A AND B) and (B AND A)
  are equivalent, and I have used this fact to de-duplicate the expression:
  (Apache-2.0 OR MIT) is equivalent to (MIT OR Apache-2.0).


===== Notes (no change required for approval) =====

- You don’t need to pass "-m 755" to "install", since (for historical reasons,
  as it was deisgned specifically as a *binary* installer) install defaults to
  executable permissions. However, there’s no harm in doing so.

- You may want to link
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/EncourageI686LeafRemoval in an
  explanatory comment above the ExcludeArch, as this makes it clearer that this
  is the sole reason for omitting x86, but you are by no means required to.

Sergey, are you still working on this?

Hi, sorry for the delayed response!
I've implemented all of your suggestions now :) hopefully I understood correctly, especially the part about the multiline License command; let me know that I've done it correctly. I have checked that the output of `%{cargo_license_summary}` does indeed match up with what's in the comment :)

Almost there!

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

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

===== Issues =====

- The License expression contains
  
    (Apache-2.0 AND MIT)
  
  where it should have
  
    (Apache-2.0 OR MIT)

- The command name in the man page is meow-cli, but the executable is installed
  as meow. The easiest way to remedy this is to generate the man page in the
  %install section instead of the %build section, something like this:

    %install
    install -p -D target/rpm/meow-cli %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/meow
    install -d %{buildroot}%{_mandir}/man1
    help2man --no-info --output=%{buildroot}%{_mandir}/man1/meow.1 \
        --name='%{summary}' %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/meow

  This approach is often necessary in Python packages, where exectuable entry
  points are typically generated during installation.

  If you prefer generating the man page in %build, try something like this:

    # Use a symlink to make sure the man page has the correct command name
    ln -s meow-cli target/rpm/meow
    help2man --no-info --output=meow.1 --name='%{summary}' target/rpm/meow

===== Notes (no change required for approval) =====

- Consider putting a blank line before

    %generate_buildrequires

  because this is a spec-file section, not part of %prep, and having no
  vertical whitespace between spec-file sections makes the spec file hard to
  read.

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

Generic:
[x]: Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets
     other legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging
     Guidelines.
[!]: License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
     Note: Checking patched sources after %prep for licenses. Licenses
     found: "Unknown or generated", "MIT License". 186 files have unknown
     license. Detailed output of licensecheck in
     /home/ben/fedora/review/2390640-meow/licensecheck.txt

      The License expression contains
      
        (Apache-2.0 AND MIT)
      
      where it should have
      
        (Apache-2.0 OR MIT)

[x]: If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the
     license(s) in its own file, then that file, containing the text of the
     license(s) for the package is included in %license.
[x]: The License field must be a valid SPDX expression.
[x]: Package requires other packages for directories it uses.
[x]: Package must own all directories that it creates.
[x]: Package does not own files or directories owned by other packages.

[x]: Dist tag is present.
[x]: Package does not contain duplicates in %files.

     Note: Documentation size is 2233 bytes in 1 files.
[x]: Packages must not store files under /srv, /opt or /usr/local

===== SHOULD items =====

Generic:
[-]: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a separate
     file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it.

Looking at the spec-file diff from the previous submission, I can confirm that all three suggestions from the previous review were correctly implemented.

====

The man page still has "meow-cli" in it in several places, even though the SYNOPSIS section correctly has "meow". It turns out that this is because "meow --version" prints "meow-cli 2.1.5", and help2man is picking up the command name from there. Local testing suggests that you can fix this and get "MEOW(1)" and "meow" everywhere by overriding the version string, i.e., changing the help2man invocation to:

help2man --no-info --name='%{summary}' --version-string='%{version}' \
    --output=%{buildroot}%{_mandir}/man1/meow.1 \
    %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/meow

While I strongly suggest fixing this on import, the package is now APPROVED.

====

Some recommended post-import tasks:

- set up package on release-monitoring.org

- add @rust-sig with "commit" access as package co-maintainer

  This is not mandatory for "application" packages like this one, where the
  source package name is not of the form rust-*, but it makes it easier for
  Rust SIG members to help out with package maintenance. It’s your choice.

- track package in koschei for all built branches

It seems like you’re looking for a sponsor into the packager group in Fedora (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/New_Package_Process_for_New_Contributors/, https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/How_to_Get_Sponsored_into_the_Packager_Group/). I would be willing to sponsor you based on our interactions in this review ticket, but you need to follow the other steps in https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Joining_the_Package_Maintainers/ first. Particularly, please introduce yourself on the devel mailing list and sign the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement at https://accounts.fedoraproject.org/user/pixelsergey/settings/agreements/.
