Description Michal Hlavinka 2025-10-20 09:52:46 UTC
Spec URL: https://mihlit.cz/smetiste/fedora/compat-gpgme124.spec
SRPM URL: https://mihlit.cz/smetiste/fedora/compat-gpgme124-1.24.3-1.fc44.src.rpm
Description: 
GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) is a library designed to make access to GnuPG
easier for applications.  It provides a high-level crypto API for
encryption, decryption, signing, signature verification and key
management.

Note: This is compat package as per https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/ReviewGuidelines/#_relaxed_rules_for_existing_components Spec file was mostly kept as is to not introduce any unwanted changes.

Going to provide compat 1.24.x package as new gpgme 2.0.x was released. While there are insignificant API changes (removed long time deprecated never working code), not all packages can be recompiled with new gpgme 2.0.x due to FTBFS or other errors (not related to gpgme).

Comment 1 Lukáš Zaoral 2025-10-20 13:16:30 UTC
Hello!
Unfortunately, the provided SRPM cannot be successfully rebuilt in Koji: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=138310061

Regards,
Lukas

Comment 2 Michal Hlavinka 2025-10-20 19:45:44 UTC
Seems there is some change in current build root as even original gpgme package fails to build atm. I will investigate

Comment 3 Michal Hlavinka 2025-10-23 08:41:06 UTC
The issue is that it has to create a socket which is too long with all the builder path prefixes. Fixed in current version
Spec file and srpm on same place, build with current srpm:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=138370149

Comment 4 Lukáš Zaoral 2025-10-24 08:29:28 UTC
Thanks!  Generally, LGTM.  Remarks:

The signature key used to verify the sources does not match the upstream:

https://gnupg.org/signature_key.asc :
  CHECKSUM(SHA256) this package     : 1d12afc4a2516573f661809ba68b8d955016db1101143fe5213ab5aafabd05a4
  CHECKSUM(SHA256) upstream package : 8eef03be67f3d4f0be96a6356521721388ae6477866ac0a06d3cf63e84c89a7d

Nits:
* Replace `%if ! %{with devel}` -> `%if %{without devel}`.
* Specs should use %global instead of %define unless justified.  Current use: `%define multilib_arches`
* If possible, the `%{gpgverify}` macro should be used to verify the sources.

Comment 5 Michal Hlavinka 2025-10-27 11:14:25 UTC
(In reply to Lukáš Zaoral from comment #4)

Comment 6 Lukáš Zaoral 2025-10-27 12:37:13 UTC
Thank you, Michal!  Setting fedora-review+.

Please, address this SHOULD item before import:
[!]: Sources are verified with gpgverify first in %prep if upstream
     publishes signatures.
     Note: gpgverify is not the first command in %prep.   Source 2 is not
     passed to gpgverify.

See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_verifying_signatures for details.

Lukas

Comment 7 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2025-11-10 22:40:12 UTC
The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/compat-gpgme124

Comment 8 Miro Hrončok 2026-01-09 10:24:53 UTC
Folks, packages like this are not supposed to be named "compat-". See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Naming/#multiple

Comment 9 Michal Hlavinka 2026-01-09 13:26:50 UTC
Thanks for pointing that out. I've missed that.

Some context first: gpgme 2.0 was released, there is very limited api change that deprecated never working part of api was dropped. I've tried to rebuild all dependent packages in copr. Some packages failed to rebuild mostly because they used all switch case options (including the dropped one) to list all possible values so compiler/analyzer is quiet and does not complain. I've created PR with fixes for all affected packages and all are currently merged. Unfortunately, there are other packages that FTBFS for reasons unrelated to gpgme. So this package was created as temporary workaround for those. As there is no real API difference, there is no reason and no plan to keep this package.

So, the question now is if the name must be changed or if its ok for temporary package?

Comment 10 Miro Hrončok 2026-01-09 13:33:01 UTC
I am no packaging police, so I'll leave that up to you. I am just so sad that people keep using this naming pattern despite the guidelines :(

Comment 11 Michal Hlavinka 2026-01-09 13:48:23 UTC
Well, given that package has already landed, renaming it is whole new process with extra provides/obsoletes than already needed for this package, I'm inclined to keep this name. It's a temporary package and it will removed (hopefully) soon.
