Comment 2 jiri vanek 2025-10-17 09:07:29 UTC
License will be fixed to `GPL-3.0-or-later `. The jar is already be removed during build (is for testing)

Comment 3 Marián Konček 2025-10-17 12:38:34 UTC
= NOTES from the reviewer:
== IMPORTANT:
* %prep section prints .jar and .class files but does not remove them. They should be removed unless required. At least the gradle.jar should be removed.
* test/resources contains zip files containing .class files with unknown licensing, I don't think we can distribute these in the source RPM. So you may have to write a `generate-tarball.sh` script.
* License field is invalid SPDX expression, should be: `GPL-3.0-or-later`.
* Please replace `BuildRequires:  java-25-devel` with `javapackages-local-openjdk25` which is the standard form of expressing requiring Java for building packages.

== LESS IMPORTANT
* Consider using %autorelease since you are already using %autochangelog.
* Inconsistent indentation.
* Description is incomplete.
* Summary could use more precise capital letters, like: `JD Java decompiler library`.
* $RPM_BUILD_ROOT can be replaced with %{buildroot}.
* There are trailing whitespaces after License and %description, maybe more.
* Debug prints (pwd, ls) in %install sgould not be in a standard .spec.
* Please unindent the code under the %build section.
* Various random spaces that make no sense inside the %build section.
* Backticks for subprocesses are discouraged in favor of $().

Comment 4 jiri vanek 2025-10-17 13:03:19 UTC
Thanx a lot for careful review!

All should be fixed.

Thanx! All removed now in prep. That should be ok.  Except gradle.jar it is testing data nad tests do not run. Afiak it is ok to leave them in sources.

> * License field is invalid SPDX expression, should be: `GPL-3.0-or-later`.

fixed

fixed... but javapackages-local-openjdk25 is available only in f43 onwards. For older java-25-devele must be used anyway.

Pleas no. Autorelease had bitten me to often. Great feature was unluckily implemnted in weird way.

> * Inconsistent indentation.

Fixed with bwest intentions, hope yu will find it satisfying. 

> * Description is incomplete.

fixed

ok, capitlaised JD. but intentionally left Java lowercase.

> * $RPM_BUILD_ROOT can be replaced with %{buildroot}.

Thanx! WAs not aware actually.

> * There are trailing whitespaces after License and %description, maybe more.

Should begone, no more found

Well, why not...but removed if you need so.
> * Please unindent the code under the %build section.

done.
> * Various random spaces that make no sense inside the %build section.

done! 

> * Backticks for subprocesses are discouraged in favor of $().
Done!

No javadocs intended. WOPuld be of poor quality anyway.

Fixed. Thanx  forget to remove rm, after printing them....

> [!]: Sources contain only permissible code or content.

I dont think the testing data or gradle jar are a reason for custom genertae sources. I had removed all ajrs, zips and classes in prep, that hsoudl be enough.

Library can be used. => ok

nope - test data gone, gradl enot present, no intention to work on them anymore. Not worthy.

No "install" included.
