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

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

===== Issues ====

- The LICENSE.dependencies file is not included in the binary RPMs.

    $ rpm -qL -p results/python3-crate-ingredients-0.3.0-1.fc46.x86_64.rpm
    /usr/lib64/python3.15/site-packages/crate_ingredients-0.3.0.dist-info/licenses/LICENSE

  You can include it manually with %license, or more elegantly, move the
  %pyproject_wheel call to the bottom of the %build section, after you have
  written LICENSE.dependencies. That approach will give you:

    $ rpm -qL -p results_python-crate-ingredients/0.3.0/1.fc46/python3-crate-ingredients-0.3.0-1.fc46.x86_64.rpm
    /usr/lib64/python3.15/site-packages/crate_ingredients-0.3.0.dist-info/licenses/LICENSE
    /usr/lib64/python3.15/site-packages/crate_ingredients-0.3.0.dist-info/licenses/LICENSE.dependencies

- In %check, you might consider adding a comment that all tests currently
  require network access.

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

- You may, if you like, remove the explicit BuildRequires: python3-devel, since
  %pyproject_buildrequires suffices. See
  https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/1379/ and
  https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/1384/. The explicit
  BuildRequires is not incorrect and does not hurt anything.

- I generally feel that defining pypi_name, srcname, modname, or similar macros
  just adds noise to the spec file and makes it harder to read for little or no
  benefit. I favor simply writing out the name in question. There is no rule
  about this, and you are free to keep the macro indirection if you like it.

- It’s neat to see maturin 1.14 producing a CycloneDX SBOM and including it in
  the metadata:

    /usr/lib64/python3.15/site-packages/crate_ingredients-0.3.0.dist-info/sboms/crate-ingredients.cyclonedx.json

- rpmlint notes:

    python3-crate-ingredients.x86_64: W: crypto-policy-non-compliance-openssl /usr/lib64/python3.15/site-packages/crate_ingredients/_rust.cpython-315-x86_64-linux-gnu.so SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list

  This is tricky, because this API call isn’t directly in the package’s source
  code. The symbol SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list is linked from the shared library,
  but we aren’t able to easily determine whether or when it is actually called,
  or with what parameters. As noted in
  https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/CryptoPolicies/#_cc_applications,
  calling it with "PROFILE=SYSTEM" would be just fine. I used the strings tool
  on the compiled Python extension and couldn’t find either PROFILE=SYSTEM or
  anything that looked like a hard-coded cipher list.

  It would be nice to figure out whether this is really correct or not, but at
  least I think we can say that *if* there is a problem, then the fix is almost
  certainly in one of this package’s crate dependencies rather than in this
  package itself.

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

C/C++:
[x]: Development (unversioned) .so files in -devel subpackage, if present.
     Note: Unversioned so-files in private %_libdir subdirectory (see
     attachment). Verify they are not in ld path.

     The sole unversioned .so file is a properly-installed Python extension
     module and is not in the default linker path:

     /usr/lib64/python3.15/site-packages/crate_ingredients/_rust.cpython-315-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

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.
[x]: License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
     Note: Checking patched sources after %prep for licenses. Licenses
     found: "Unknown or generated", "*No copyright* MIT License". 44 files
     have unknown license. Detailed output of licensecheck in
     /home/ben/fedora/review/2521853-python-crate-
     ingredients/licensecheck.txt
[x]: Package must own all directories that it creates.
     Note: Directories without known owners: /usr/lib64/python3.15,
     /usr/lib64/python3.15/site-packages

     Spurious diagnostic: python3-libs owns these

[x]: %build honors applicable compiler flags or justifies otherwise.
[x]: Package contains no bundled libraries or specifies bundled libraries
     with Provides: bundled(<libname>) if unbundling is not possible.

     The upstream-bundled crate(ingredients) is correctly removed in %prep to
     demonstrate that is not used in the build.

[x]: Changelog in prescribed format.
[x]: Sources contain only permissible code or content.
[-]: Package contains desktop file if it is a GUI application.
[-]: Development files must be in a -devel package
[x]: Package uses nothing in %doc for runtime.
[x]: Package consistently uses macros (instead of hard-coded directory
     names).
[x]: Package is named according to the Package Naming Guidelines.
[x]: Package does not generate any conflict.
[x]: Package obeys FHS, except libexecdir and /usr/target.
[-]: If the package is a rename of another package, proper Obsoletes and
     Provides are present.
[x]: Requires correct, justified where necessary.

     It’s fairly obvious that the explicit Requires on cargo and git-core are
     because these are used by calling their command-line tools. I don’t think
     these require additional documentation.

[x]: Spec file is legible and written in American English.
[-]: Package contains systemd file(s) if in need.
[x]: Useful -debuginfo package or justification otherwise.
[x]: Package is not known to require an ExcludeArch tag.
[x]: Package complies to the Packaging Guidelines
[x]: Package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at least
     one supported primary architecture.
[x]: Package installs properly.
[x]: Rpmlint is run on all rpms the build produces.
     Note: There are rpmlint messages (see attachment).
[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 does not own files or directories owned by other packages.
[x]: Package uses either %{buildroot} or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
[x]: Package does not run rm -rf %{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT) at the
     beginning of %install.
[x]: Macros in Summary, %description expandable at SRPM build time.
[x]: Dist tag is present.
[x]: Package does not contain duplicates in %files.
[x]: Permissions on files are set properly.
[x]: Package must not depend on deprecated() packages.
[x]: Package use %makeinstall only when make install DESTDIR=... doesn't
     work.
[x]: Package is named using only allowed ASCII characters.
[x]: Package does not use a name that already exists.
[x]: Package is not relocatable.
[x]: Sources used to build the package match the upstream source, as
     provided in the spec URL.
[x]: Spec file name must match the spec package %{name}, in the format
     %{name}.spec.
[x]: File names are valid UTF-8.
[x]: Large documentation must go in a -doc subpackage. Large could be size
     (~1MB) or number of files.
     Note: Documentation size is 2183 bytes in 1 files.
[x]: Packages must not store files under /srv, /opt or /usr/local

Python:
[x]: Python eggs must not download any dependencies during the build
     process.
[x]: A package which is used by another package via an egg interface should
     provide egg info.
[x]: Package meets the Packaging Guidelines::Python
[x]: Package contains BR: python2-devel or python3-devel
[x]: Packages MUST NOT have dependencies (either build-time or runtime) on
     packages named with the unversioned python- prefix unless no properly
     versioned package exists. Dependencies on Python packages instead MUST
     use names beginning with python2- or python3- as appropriate.
[x]: Python packages must not contain %{pythonX_site(lib|arch)}/* in %files
[x]: Binary eggs must be removed in %prep

===== 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.
[x]: Final provides and requires are sane (see attachments).
[x]: Package functions as described.

     Imitating one of the upstream smoke tests in a chroot with network
     enabled:

     >>> import crate_ingredients as ci
     >>> client = ci.RegistryClient.crates_io("crate_ingredients.py")
     >>> crate1 = client.download("syn", "3.0.0")
     >>> crate2 = client.download("syn", "3.0.2")
     >>> diff = crate1.diff(crate2, diff_size_limit=2*1024*1024)
     >>> print(diff)
     info: crate version changed from '3.0.0' to '3.0.2'
     info: file at path 'README.md' changed
     info: file at path 'src/buffer.rs' changed
     info: file at path 'src/data.rs' changed
     info: file at path 'src/error.rs' changed
     info: file at path 'src/expr.rs' changed
     info: file at path 'src/generics.rs' changed
     info: file at path 'src/item.rs' changed
     info: file at path 'src/lib.rs' changed
     info: file at path 'src/token.rs' changed
     info: file at path 'src/ty.rs' changed
     info: file at path 'tests/repo/mod.rs' changed
     info: file at path 'tests/test_item.rs' changed

     This seems reasonable.

[x]: Latest version is packaged.
[x]: Package does not include license text files separate from upstream.
[x]: Patches link to upstream bugs/comments/lists or are otherwise
     justified.
[-]: Sources are verified with gpgverify first in %prep if upstream
     publishes signatures.
     Note: gpgverify is not used.
[x]: Package should compile and build into binary rpms on all supported
     architectures.

     https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=149424607

[x]: %check is present and all tests pass.


     All upstream tests currently require network access. You might consider a
     note to this effect. You do have an import test, which is required when no
     other tests are available and is usually worthwhile even if they are.


[x]: Packages should try to preserve timestamps of original installed
     files.
[x]: Reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
[x]: Buildroot is not present
[x]: Package has no %clean section with rm -rf %{buildroot} (or
     $RPM_BUILD_ROOT)
[x]: No file requires outside of /etc, /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin.
[x]: Packager, Vendor, PreReq, Copyright tags should not be in spec file
[x]: Sources can be downloaded from URI in Source: tag
[x]: SourceX is a working URL.
[x]: Spec use %global instead of %define unless justified.

===== EXTRA items =====

Generic:
[x]: Rpmlint is run on all installed packages.
     Note: There are rpmlint messages (see attachment).
[x]: Large data in /usr/share should live in a noarch subpackage if package
     is arched.
[x]: Spec file according to URL is the same as in SRPM.

Good point, I can add a comment to that effect.
Note that there *would* be at least "doctests", but they fail to compile with linker errors on ppc64le.

I don't know *why* libpython.so symbols don't get linked to the test executable *only on this architecture*, but there are a handful of open and closed issues in the pyo3 issue tracker about "undefined reference" issues when running "cargo test" for a PyO3 cdylib.

Weirdly enough, "cargo test" does compile and run the doctests, but "cargo test --doc" aborts with an error message claiming that "doctests can't be run for cdylib targets". :confused:

I would agree in general, though in this case, it appears that I need to specify the "normalized" PyPI name with "_" as separator at least in two places - in the %pypi_source macro argument and in the %pyproject_save_files macro argument.

Repeating the name twice wouldn't be that bad (especially since it won't change without a package name / upstream name change) though, I guess.

As far as I can tell, this is basically always a false positive.
There aren't any code paths (that I have found) from reqwest -> native-tls -> openssl that call SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list.

And applications that use the default SSL context from the "openssl" crate use PROFILE=SYSTEM:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rust-openssl/blob/rawhide/f/0001-set-PROFILE-SYSTEM-as-default-cipher-list.patch

I'll add a comment to the .spec file.
The README documents that they're hard requirements, but documenting it in the .spec file too won't hurt.

Comment 8 Ben Beasley 2026-08-26 08:07:09 UTC
Looking at the spec-file diff, rather than doing a full re-review:

- You dropped the pypi_name macro indirection, which I suggested but is a matter of personal preference
- You added comments for the manual Requires on cargo and git-core, which I thought wasn’t required but which is nevertheless helpful
- You added a comment explaining why %cargo_generate_buildrequires needs -a and -t, which again isn’t required but is nice
- You moved %pyproject_wheel to the end of %build, which fixed the unpackaged LICENSE.dependencies:

  $ rpm -qL -p ./results/python3-crate-ingredients-0.3.0-1.fc46.x86_64.rpm 
  /usr/lib64/python3.15/site-packages/crate_ingredients-0.3.0.dist-info/licenses/LICENSE
  /usr/lib64/python3.15/site-packages/crate_ingredients-0.3.0.dist-info/licenses/LICENSE.dependencies

- You added a comment explaining why tests can’t be run.

All of these changes are useful and correct. The fedora-review template doesn’t flag any new potential issues, and there are no new rpmlint messages. Everything from the “Issues” section of the previous review has been dealt with.

The package is therefore APPROVED.

----

The only thing I have left to say is that, since the linking issues for doctests are specific to ppc64le, you could do something like this:

%check
# run import check only:
# * pytest unit tests require internet access
# * cargo test fails to compile doctests for cdylib targets on ppc64le
%pyproject_check_import
%ifnarch %{power64}
%cargo_test
%endif

That seemed to work fine in a quick scratch-build, https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=149489161.

On the other hand, it looks like it didn’t actually find any doctests:

test result: ok. 0 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out; finished in 0.00s

Comment 9 Fabio Valentini 2026-08-26 22:38:01 UTC
Thanks a lot for the review!
In the end, I did think all your suggestions were good ones, so I implemented them all. :)

It's a bit annoying that tests are so hard to run here,
I'll think about adding at least *some* upstream that can be run without running afoul of ancient pyo3 / linker bugs.
