Description Yaakov Nemoy 2007-12-25 20:16:52 UTC
Spec URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~ynemoy/xmonad/x11-xft.spec
SRPM URL: http://fedorapeople.org/~ynemoy/xmonad/ghc681-x11-xft-0.2-1.fc8.src.rpm
Description: 
Haskell bindings to the Xft, X Free Type interface library, and some Xrender parts

This package is for xmonad-contrib, which is to follow.

Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2008-02-13 03:07:36 UTC
The name should be ghc-X11-xft IMHO, following the upstream naming.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2008-08-22 08:13:28 UTC
Can you add a URL field and a url for the source?

Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2008-12-01 00:05:50 UTC
Yaakov, do you still have a copy of your .spec file?  (Above links are broken.)

Comment 4 Till Maas 2008-12-10 11:12:22 UTC
The links to the spec/SRPM are not working, therefore nothing can be done here.

Comment 5 Jason Tibbitts 2008-12-21 20:52:17 UTC
Please clear the whiteboard when this is ready for review.

Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2009-04-25 22:54:34 UTC
ping?

Comment 8 Jens Petersen 2009-06-03 06:11:49 UTC
Please update to latest cabal2spec, thanks

Comment 10 Jens Petersen 2009-06-13 08:00:42 UTC
Can you update your package again based on your experience
of the utf8-string review?

Comment 12 Jens Petersen 2009-06-20 13:08:56 UTC
cabal2spec-diff looks ok to me - though you should keep periods in the descriptions, which should be made of sentences.

Comment 13 Jens Petersen 2009-06-20 23:19:40 UTC
Zach, you need to include the dependency on libXft explicitly by adding

 BuildRequires: libXft-devel

to the base (src) package and

 Requires: libXft-devel

to the devel subpackage.
Unfortunately cabal2spec is not smart enough to do that yet.
That should allow the package to build in mock
and avoid linking errors etc with the devel package.

Comment 14 Jens Petersen 2009-06-20 23:24:27 UTC
Created attachment 348767 [details]
ghc-X11-xft.spec-1.patch

Perhaps I confused you about fullstops in the previous review.

Just to clarify, the rule of thumb is no fullstops (periods) in the summary
field but fullstops in the description fields: you can follow the example
of cabal2spec there. :)

Comment 16 Jason Tibbitts 2009-07-01 23:35:48 UTC
Who is reviewing this and who is submitting it?  I see Zach signed up to review it, but he's the one producing packages, which is a bit backwards.  Nobody's going to sign up to review this since it's already assigned to Zach, yet the fedora-revlew is not set.

Comment 17 Yaakov Nemoy 2009-07-03 11:52:08 UTC
Let me take this one over then.

Apparently it won't build without the UTF-8 package, which i'm going to take over as a review too.

Comment 18 Yaakov Nemoy 2009-07-03 12:17:28 UTC
The package needs to BR ghc-utf8-string too.

Comment 19 Yaakov Nemoy 2009-07-03 12:20:10 UTC
And not paying attention, i forgot to mention it also needs to BR ghc-X11 itself.

This is a dependency issue that i'm also bringing up with Jens

Comment 22 Yaakov Nemoy 2009-07-15 12:17:44 UTC
Oh, and it seems there's a new upstream, so could you please rebase against that?

Comment 23 Jens Petersen 2009-07-16 08:17:39 UTC
(In reply to comment #21)
> This is a dependency issue that i'm also bringing up with Jens  

Well it would be better if cabal2spec was smart enough to
do all the right BuildRequires for dependencies, that would
avoid these: so best to test in mock before submitting
in the meantime.

Comment 24 Yaakov Nemoy 2009-07-16 08:22:43 UTC
What follows is some IRC chatter over two ways of doing it. Let's go with the
latter. Please explicitely BR the -prof and -doc packages where you have
ghc-*-devel BR'd.

(01.58.36) ( juhp) loupgaroublond: hmm
(01.59.36) ( juhp) sounds "complicated" :)
(02.00.09) ( juhp) if you're going to make -devel require -prof and -doc then
might as well not subpackage ;)
(02.00.49) ( juhp) we also do it for BuildRequires where it counts
(02.01.20) ( juhp) probably we should just drop the switches?
(03.00.20) :: ritek (n=eduardo.111.160) has quit ("������")
(09.54.24) ( loupgaroublond) nah, just the issue is to make sure packages build
properly, either that or we have to explicitly require all the appropriate 'non
devel' packages in a 'devel' situation
(09.56.50) ( juhp) yeah in fact most of the subpackaging is pain
(09.57.10) ( juhp) I am still tempted to unsubpackage doc
(09.57.42) ( juhp) loupgaroublond: but i don't get it: if -devel requires -prof
and -doc then how does subpackaging help you?
(10.00.57) ( loupgaroublond) because -devel is only supposed to contain the
bits in the shared libs necessary to compile other packages
(10.01.03) ( loupgaroublond) the ghc-foo contains the shared libs
(10.01.14) ( loupgaroublond) the *-doc has the haddock stuff, and the -prof has
the profiling extras
(10.01.55) ( loupgaroublond) but if you install the -devel package, we're
assuming you need all those other bits too
(10.04.57) ( juhp) why?
(10.05.10) ( juhp) so then we don't need subpackages
(10.05.21) ( juhp) everything should just be in -devel
(10.07.35) ( loupgaroublond) because sometimes you don't want devel?
(10.07.57) ( loupgaroublond) or i'll just tell jochem to include the -prof and
-doc dependencies
(10.08.20) ( loupgaroublond) anyways, it's a thought
(10.08.25) ( loupgaroublond) there's more than one way to skin a cat though
(10.11.40) ( juhp) maybe I am missing some context

Comment 25 Jens Petersen 2009-08-21 01:40:37 UTC
Zach, are you going to update the package?

Comment 26 Zach Oglesby 2009-08-24 13:57:24 UTC
Indeed, sorry we just had a baby and I see to not have enough time in the day, I will try and get it updated today or tomorrow.

Comment 29 Yaakov Nemoy 2009-08-25 15:22:41 UTC
Actually, i take that back. Just fix the description. I was looking over the template again, and i forgot that we put everything in a -devel package. Just fix the description and it's a pass. I was looking at it funny.

Please apply these dependency fixes.

I know it is a bit tedious doing all this stuff by hand,
but let's try to keep our sig packages clean until
cabal2spec is smart enough. :)
