Spec URL: http://terjeros.fedorapeople.org/simdock/simdock.spec SRPM URL: http://terjeros.fedorapeople.org/simdock/simdock-1.2-1.fc8.src.rpm Description: SimDock is a fast and customizable dockbar. It is written in c++ and wxWidgets and fits well in Gnome but works on most desktop environments. Does not require Compiz nor 3D acceleration.
Review: - MUST: rpmlint must be run on every package. The output should be posted in the review. Clean. - MUST: The package must be named according to the Package Naming Guidelines . OK. - MUST: The spec file name must match the base package %{name}, in the format %{name}.spec unless your package has an exemption on Package Naming Guidelines . OK. - MUST: The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines . OK. - MUST: The package must be licensed with a Fedora approved license and meet the Licensing Guidelines . OK. - MUST: The License field in the package spec file must match the actual license. OK. - MUST: 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 must be included in %doc. OK. - MUST: The spec file must be written in American English. OK. - MUST: The spec file for the package MUST be legible. If the reviewer is unable to read the spec file, it will be impossible to perform a review. Fedora is not the place for entries into the Obfuscated Code Contest (http://www.ioccc.org/). OK. - MUST: The sources used to build the package must match the upstream source, as provided in the spec URL. Reviewers should use md5sum for this task. If no upstream URL can be specified for this package, please see the Source URL Guidelines for how to deal with this. OK. - MUST: The package must successfully compile and build into binary rpms on at least one supported architecture. Works at least on F9 x86-64. - MUST: If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on an architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec in ExcludeArch. Each architecture listed in ExcludeArch needs to have a bug filed in bugzilla, describing the reason that the package does not compile/build/work on that architecture. The bug number should then be placed in a comment, next to the corresponding ExcludeArch line. New packages will not have bugzilla entries during the review process, so they should put this description in the comment until the package is approved, then file the bugzilla entry, and replace the long explanation with the bug number. The bug should be marked as blocking one (or more) of the following bugs to simplify tracking such issues: FE-ExcludeArch-x86 , FE-ExcludeArch-x64 , FE-ExcludeArch-ppc , FE-ExcludeArch-ppc64 Needs to be checked in the buildsystem. - MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any that are listed in the exceptions section of the Packaging Guidelines ; inclusion of those as BuildRequires is optional. Apply common sense. Worked for me in a full desktop install, mock may be more strict. - MUST: The spec file MUST handle locales properly. This is done by using the %find_lang macro. Using %{_datadir}/locale/* is strictly forbidden. N/A - MUST: Every binary RPM package which stores shared library files (not just symlinks) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths, must call ldconfig in %post and %postun. If the package has multiple subpackages with libraries, each subpackage should also have a %post/%postun section that calls /sbin/ldconfig. An example of the correct syntax for this is: %post -p /sbin/ldconfig %postun -p /sbin/ldconfig N/A - MUST: If the package is designed to be relocatable, the packager must state this fact in the request for review, along with the rationalization for relocation of that specific package. Without this, use of Prefix: /usr is considered a blocker. N/A - MUST: A package must own all directories that it creates. If it does not create a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does create that directory. Refer to the Guidelines for examples. OK. - MUST: A package must not contain any duplicate files in the %files listing. OK. - MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. Executables should be set with executable permissions, for example. Every %files section must include a %defattr(...) line. OK. - MUST: Each package must have a %clean section, which contains rm -rf %{buildroot} ( or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT ). OK. - MUST: Each package must consistently use macros, as described in the macros section of Packaging Guidelines . OK. - MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content. This is described in detail in the code vs. content section of Packaging Guidelines . OK. - MUST: Large documentation files should go in a -doc subpackage. (The definition of large is left up to the packager's best judgement, but is not restricted to size. Large can refer to either size or quantity) OK. - MUST: If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the runtime of the application. To summarize: If it is in %doc, the program must run properly if it is not present. OK. - MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package. N/A - MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package. N/A - MUST: Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig' (for directory ownership and usability). N/A - MUST: If a package contains library files with a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so.1.1), then library files that end in .so (without suffix) must go in a -devel package. N/A - MUST: In the vast majority of cases, devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned dependency: Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} N/A - MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these should be removed in the spec. N/A - MUST: Packages containing GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop file, and that file must be properly installed with desktop-file-install in the %install section. This is described in detail in the desktop files section of the Packaging Guidelines . If you feel that your packaged GUI application does not need a .desktop file, you must put a comment in the spec file with your explanation. OK - MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other packages. The rule of thumb here is that the first package to be installed should own the files or directories that other packages may rely upon. This means, for example, that no package in Fedora should ever share ownership with any of the files or directories owned by the filesystem or man package. If you feel that you have a good reason to own a file or directory that another package owns, then please present that at package review time. OK. - MUST: At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf %{buildroot} ( or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT ). See Prepping BuildRoot For %install for details. OK. - MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8. OK. --- Needs work: Buildreqs one per line in alphabetized order! Buildrequires should probably include more packages, looking at the requires of the built RPM you need at least libX11-devel, atk-devel, cairo-devel, gtk2-devel, pango-devel to get the full package. Building in mock will not work without explicit numeration of buildreqs. --- Conclusion: OK for build after fixes
Are you sponsored? I can't find your name in Fedora Account System. Some additional comments: Per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Desktop_files You must add BuildRequires: desktop-file-utils and install the .desktop file using desktop-file-install. The desktop file itself should contain Icon=simdock not Icon=simdock.png Build fails on rawhide: error: %patch without corresponding "Patch:" tag Solution: use %patch0 It builds fine in mock after that, so BuildRequires (apart from the above) are fine.

Updated package: - fix patch macro - install desktop file spec: http://terjeros.fedorapeople.org/simdock/simdock.spec srpm: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=857464&name=simdock-1.2-2.fc10.src.rpm koji: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=857463
Seems like I forgot to update the spec file, fixed now.
Jussi, do you want to continue the review?
Sure, now that I got packager status. SHOULD: Now the buildrequires section is IMHO not very clean. Please break the BR one per line in alphabetized order. But you can do this when you import the package. The only thing missing in the preliminary review was the desktop file installation and you've fixed that, the package is ACCEPTED.
Please set correct Status and Assigned To, do this before you start the review. I will put br's in alphabetized order, however on a single line. Where is the one br per line policy coming from?
(In reply to comment #8) > Please set correct Status and Assigned To, do this before you start the review. Thanks for the tip :) > I will put br's in alphabetized order, however on a single line. > > Where is the one br per line policy coming from? I don't think it's a policy per se; my sponsor (Dominik) told me about it. And he is right: even though you have to spend a minute or two typing the BRs in this way, the end result is a lot cleaner to look at. You can see on one glance what kind of software the package requires. When you have many requires per line, you have to spend more time looking around; when you have everything nicely in a column the list is much faster to look through. Since your other packages also have the same kind of BRs and they have passed their reviews without problems, I won't make a fuss out of this. Decide for yourself: which of these is nicest to read? http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/lynx/F-9/lynx.spec?revision=1.55&view=markup http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/firefox/F-9/firefox.spec?revision=1.304&view=markup http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/evolution/F-8/evolution.spec?revision=1.313&view=markup
