Comment 1 Fedora Review Service 2026-05-04 08:26:49 UTC
Cannot find any valid SRPM URL for this ticket. Common causes are:

- You didn't specify `SRPM URL: ...` in the ticket description
  or any of your comments
- The URL schema isn't HTTP or HTTPS
- The SRPM package linked in your URL doesn't match the package name specified
  in the ticket summary

Comment 6 Gordon Messmer 2026-06-17 22:16:10 UTC
At least two rpmlint reports should be addressed:

Number 1:

The node modules bundle contains pre-built binaries. I believe this will require that the package dist-git includes a script that fetches the node_modules, strips them of binaries, and archives the result.

pi-coding-agent.noarch: W: only-non-binary-in-usr-lib
     
$ file node_modules_prod/@earendil-works/pi-tui/native/*/*/*/*

Number 2:
     
pi-coding-agent.spec: W: no-%check-section 
     
The project site indicates that a test suite exists: "./test.sh            # Run tests (skips LLM-dependent tests without API keys)".

That should be run in the %check section. If that's not possible, the package should at least document why it isn't possible.

Comment 13 Gordon Messmer 2026-07-09 08:09:34 UTC
In the spec file:

> ExclusiveArch:  x86_64 aarch64

Should that be "ExclusiveArch:  %{nodejs_arches} noarch"?

> # npn i -g license-checker

Looks like a typo. Should be "npm"?

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

Please ask upstream to include their license.

> MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license

Unlicense appears in @earendil-works-pi-coding-agent-0.80.3-bundled-licenses.txt. It looks like that applies to tweetnacl in the examples directory, so it's part of the src.rpm but not the binary rpm. I'm unclear on whether the license field should include this one.

> Package contains no bundled libraries or specifies bundled librarieswith Provides: bundled(<libname>) if unbundling is not possible.

nodejs should "automatically adds bundled provides in the form bundled(<bundled_module_name>) = <bundled_module_version> to identify bundled modules" but that isn't happening in this package. I can't find the automatic generator at the moment, but I wonder if it's only scanning one level deep under the node site library.

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

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


Issues:
=======
- If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s)

  for the package is included in %license.
  Note: License file LICENSE is not marked as %license
  See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-
  guidelines/LicensingGuidelines/#_license_text
- Sources used to build the package match the upstream source, as provided
  in the spec URL.
  Note: Upstream MD5sum check error, diff is in /home/gmessmer/git/pi-
  coding-agent/review-pi-coding-agent/diff.txt

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

The License field covers the binary rpm, so Unlicense does not need to appear in this field.

The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pi-coding-agent
Monitoring:
Wasn't able to create project in Anitya. You can create it manually on: `https://release-monitoring.org`

I did here

Comment 17 Tom.Rix 2026-07-09 22:30:54 UTC
> ExclusiveArch:  x86_64 aarch64

Should that be "ExclusiveArch:  %{nodejs_arches} noarch"?

aarch64 is a stretch, it is included because ollama has aarch64 support and that is maintained by someone else.

Comment 18 Gordon Messmer 2026-07-10 19:32:44 UTC
I guess I'm unsure why ollama would influence ExclusiveArch. pi can connect to external services using "/login", right?
