Spec URL: http://stahnma.fedorapeople.org/reviews/python-libgmail-docs.spec

Description: Documents and examples for python-libgmail


See also bug #422831 for the non-docs package. This is an odd case where upstream has two different sources for docs and for the actual project.  So, I figured that would be two SRPMS and two packages.

Comment 1 Parag AN(पराग) 2007-12-13 05:46:42 UTC
I think you are missing BR: python, Got many messages asking python command in
build.log

Comment 2 Michael Stahnke 2007-12-13 14:56:48 UTC
I added it, but it really doesn't require python.  Apparently if a package
contains 'python*' in the name, rpm tries to run these python commands.  I
didn't see a way to suppress that easily without just adding a BR on python. 
It's probably not that big of deal, as you will likely have python on any
system, and especially if interested in the non-docs version of this package. 

New stuff:

Comment 3 Ville Skyttä 2007-12-13 17:09:04 UTC
License: GPLv2+ is not correct.

$ grep License *.py
archive.py:# License: GPL 2.0
gcp.py:# License: GPL 2.0
gmailftpd.py:# License: Dual GPL 2.0 and PSF (This file only.)
gmailpopd.py:# License: Dual GPL 2.0 and PSF (This file only.)
gmailsmtp.py:# License: GPL 2.0
readmail.py:License: GPL 2.0
sendmsg.py:# License: GPL 2.0
test_notifier.py:# License: GPL 2.0
unreadmsgcount.py:# License: GPL 2.0

Unlike in most packages, I think shipping the *.py as executable, even in %docs,
would be a good thing in this case.  Some of them are even so useful as is that
I'd personally consider shipping them in %{_bindir}, renamed eg. as archive.py
-> libgmail-archive(.py).

If the *.py are not going to be made executable, I think the dependency on
python-libgmail is superfluous and should be dropped - without the executable
bits this package is really just a bunch of docs with no dependencies.

Using %exclude to exclude the unwanted *.pyc and *.pyo would sound like a better
way to me to omit them than overriding the whole %__os_install_post.

"Documentation" would be a more suitable value for the Group tag IMO.

Comment 4 Michael Stahnke 2007-12-13 20:21:37 UTC
Great feedback.  I will update the license. If you think some of this should be
a binary-type package please help me define how it should be laid out.  I also
thought some the examples here are quite good.  

I will change group, license and rebuild when I get back home.  I am curious
about naming of the package if we move the examples into a package.

Please advise


Comment 5 Ville Skyttä 2007-12-13 20:51:18 UTC
Just some random thoughts:

In my local package of python-libgmail, I opted to bundle everything in one SRPM:
http://cachalot.mine.nu/8/SRPMS/python-libgmail-0.1.8-0.1.cmn8.src.rpm

I have no strong opinions whether the bundled or the separate packaging approach
is better, and I have only thought about making some of the examples directly
available in $PATH, not actually implemented it.  The utility I became
interested in libgmail for was archive.py.  I guess I would have been a bit
surprised if I had been looking for it in Fedora and found that I needed to
install a package named libgmail-docs to get it (but perhaps people who know
what to look for would differ, as this is how it's upstream as well).

Comment 6 Parag AN(पराग) 2007-12-17 17:19:20 UTC
any updates on comment #3?

Comment 7 Parag AN(पराग) 2008-01-01 02:54:07 UTC
ping?

Comment 8 Michael Stahnke 2008-01-03 02:18:27 UTC
http://stahnma.fedorapeople.org/reviews/python-libgmail-docs-0.3-3.fc9.src.rpm
http://stahnma.fedorapeople.org/reviews/python-libgmail-docs.spec

I have made changes recommended in previous comments.  This will stay its own
package, as it has a separate upstream download.  

The py files are marked executable in the %doc directory. It looks like some
other packages do this also (subversion for one).  

Fixed license. 
Changed group. 
Removed requires libgmail

Comment 9 Parag AN(पराग) 2008-01-03 05:19:06 UTC
I can't see this package owns directory
/usr/share/doc/python-libgmail-0.1.8/examples
/usr/share/doc/python-libgmail-0.1.8/API

I don't think its necessary to mark examples/* as executable that made rpmlint
unhappy.

I agree some packages installed as executable in %doc but do you have any
specific  reason if not mark them as non-executable.


Comment 10 Parag AN(पराग) 2008-01-03 05:24:40 UTC
Okay I see that you followed following suggestion
>If the *.py are not going to be made executable, I think the dependency on
python-libgmail is superfluous and should be dropped - without the executable
bits this package is really just a bunch of docs with no dependencies.

Then I think its ok for me but take care of ownership
/usr/share/doc/python-libgmail-0.1.8/examples
/usr/share/doc/python-libgmail-0.1.8/API

please provide update.

Comment 12 Parag AN(पराग) 2008-01-14 11:56:30 UTC
build.log showed 
/usr/lib/rpm/pythondeps.sh: line 8: python: command not found

you still have missing BR: python python-libgmail
also, drop executable bits from README and COPYING.

I think its ok to have other rpmlint output as here we want those .py examples
to be installed as executable.

Comment 13 Parag AN(पराग) 2008-01-14 11:57:30 UTC
oops I mean BR: python and Requires: python-libgmail

Comment 14 Parag AN(पराग) 2008-01-18 14:12:14 UTC
ping?

Comment 16 Parag AN(पराग) 2008-01-20 04:03:10 UTC
Review:
+ package builds in mock (rawhide i386).
- rpmlint is NOT silent for SRPM and for RPM.

Package Name: python-gmail-docs
Short Description: Documents and examples for python-libgmail

Owners: mastahnke

InitialCC: 
Cvsextras Commits:  yes

Comment 18 Ville Skyttä 2008-01-20 10:06:40 UTC
The autogenerated *.pyc and *.pyo in the examples dir do not seem useful, they
should be removed, for example like:

%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%doc %{_docdir}/python-%{projectname}-%{projectversion}/API
%doc %{_docdir}/python-%{projectname}-%{projectversion}/examples
%exclude %{_docdir}/python-%{projectname}-%{projectversion}/examples/*.py[co]

(Not a blocker, please feel free to take a look after the import.)

Comment 19 Kevin Fenzi 2008-01-20 18:25:01 UTC
Please use fedora account name for Owners field. 

Shouldn't the Package Name here be: "python-libgmail-docs" and not
"python-gmail-docs"?
