If you want to trigger a new Copr build, add a comment containing new
Spec and SRPM URLs or [fedora-review-service-build] string.

Comment 2 Cristian Le 2025-09-02 09:26:11 UTC
Only 2 comments:
- The `-t` is `generate_buildrequires` is unnecessary. The tox environment doesn't seem to have anything useful for us and it would be better to interact with `%pytest` directly if we will need to skip some tests (it did happen at one sphinx update that I was present for)
- Instead of having to use `SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION`, please use the pypi_source. Although it is odd because I do see there is a `.git_archival.txt` file present (in the old broken format, I'll make a PR to fix that), so the `SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION` should not be needed in either way. Have you had a build failure around it, would be useful to investigate

Comment 3 Jerry James 2025-09-02 19:44:14 UTC
Thank you, Cristian!  I have made the suggested changes to the spec file and uploaded a new spec and srpm to the same URLs as above.

(In reply to Cristian Le from comment #2)

I have been building my own local RPMs of python-sphinx-thebe for quite awhile.  I think I needed SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION for a previous version of sphinx-thebe and didn't notice when it was no longer necessary.

Cristian, would you mind taking another look?

Comment 8 Andrew Bauer 2025-10-18 18:07:11 UTC
Assigning this review to myself at Jerry. The fedora review flag "?" had not been set previously, so I assume Christian was simply commenting rather than performing the review.

Comment 9 Andrew Bauer 2025-10-18 18:07:53 UTC
This is a review *template*. Besides handling the [ ]-marked tests you are
also supposed to fix the template before pasting into bugzilla:
- Add issues you find to the list of issues on top. If there isn't such
  a list, create one.
- Add your own remarks to the template checks.
- Add new lines marked [!] or [?] when you discover new things not
  listed by fedora-review.
- Change or remove any text in the template which is plain wrong. In this
  case you could also file a bug against fedora-review
- Remove the "[ ] Manual check required", you will not have any such lines
  in what you paste.
- Remove attachments which you deem not really useful (the rpmlint
  ones are mandatory, though)
- Remove this text

Comment 10 Andrew Bauer 2025-10-18 18:27:52 UTC
This package looks fine to me as it is. Packaging documentation does seem to prefer Tox over pytest, but it does not make it mandatory. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

This is the first package review I've done that uses the BuildSystem tag.
https://rpm.org/docs/6.0.x/manual/buildsystem.html

This seems to be doing all the traditional %prep, %build, %install steps magically behind the scenes. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but looking at build.log, rpm is indeed doing all the right things to build the package in a Fedora python approved manner.

There is no %license tag in the specfile, but the build is picking up the LICENSE file on its own ...and perhaps more importantly rpmlint is not complaining about a missing license, which it certainly would have done.


Package approved.

Comment 11 Cristian Le 2025-10-20 11:11:09 UTC
Sorry Jerry, this one fell off my radar, please needinfo me if I have similar ones like this. Yes all looks good, thanks Andrew for picking it up.

> Packaging documentation does seem to prefer Tox over pytest

In general tox does not make sense for downstream testing because we do not test across different python versions or such. Sometimes there are configurations specific in the tox file, and generally we should encourage to move those to the pyproject.toml

> There is no %license tag in the specfile, but the build is picking up the LICENSE file on its own

`%pyproject_install -l` (or the `BuildOption(install)` in this case) takes care of that. It will error out if the license flag from PEP639 is not present. It is very much build backend dependent though, so just trial-and-error if it works or not.

> This seems to be doing all the traditional %prep, %build, %install steps magically behind the scenes.

Generally I would encourage it unless it is needed for epel9 and before. It allows the python sig to do more general changes behind the scene.

Comment 12 Andrew Bauer 2025-10-20 12:12:32 UTC
I was not able to find a description of BuildSystem in the Fedora packaging docs. Buildsystem is a rather broad term with more than one meaning, so perhaps I missed it in the search results. Until I can see it defined in the Fedora packaging documentation, I won't use it for any of my own packages.

Comment 13 Cristian Le 2025-10-20 12:16:27 UTC
> I was not able to find a description of BuildSystem in the Fedora packaging docs.

Good point, I thought these were already in the Python packaging guidelines, but it seems those were not added there. There were some announcements and talks about it in the Python context, but seems nothing was added. I will ping in the matrix room, thanks for that.

Comment 14 Jerry James 2025-10-20 22:28:14 UTC
Thank you very much, Cristian and Andrew.  I appreciate the review.

Documentation on RPM buildsystems in general is available here: https://rpm-software-management.github.io/rpm/manual/buildsystem.html.  For the pyproject buildsystem particularly, you can see the relevant definitions at the bottom of /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.pyproject.
